Brothers, Sisters and Friends:
Today I visited Sons of Solomon No. 220 in Trenton NJ. The meeting was very eventful as the lodge performed the burial ceremony for max points in the Lodge of the Year Contest. The brothers went all out in performing the ceremony.
Besides the ceremony, WM Cain did an outstanding job opening the lodge.
After attending my own subordinate lodge meeting I attended Clifford Alford No. 165's first Annual Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday celebration.
The affair was very elegant. Clifford Alford performed a skit on Martin Luther King Jr.
While at the celebration, I was notified that Hiram No. 19 captured the Traveling Gavel from Unity No. 195.
Although a busy day, it was a worth while day as we strengthened the fellowship around the state.
Fraternally,
Ill. Raymond L. Smith, 33°
