Brothers, Sisters and Friends,
This year's Annual Education Conference may have been the best in years. We had outside presenters from various institutions as well as three brothers from the Grand Lodge. Brothers Bethea, Cox and Horell did an excellent job in their presentations.
The Educational Committee of Bro. Alshahid Hillman and Sisters Williams and Austin did a fantastic job organizing the event.
In the Masons session the following brothers gave great presentations; brothers Larry Moore, Christopher Joesph, Omar Shabazz, Hakim Williams and Mario Cassitta. Ill. Leonard Best gave a lecture and led a Burial Ceremony for the purpose of instruction.
It truly was an excellent day.
Fraternally,

Brothers, Sisters and Friends:
Today was a monumental day for Job Grand Lodge. The 29th Annual Breakfast was the best ever.
According to CNN Earthquakes were reported in California but it was not due to the shifting of tectonic plates but the work of the keynote speaker. Chairman Roslyn Brock tore the entire house down and set it on its head and that is putting it mildly.
I would like to thank the Deputy GM, the District Master's Council, Finance Department, the MC Bro Love, the Marshals, Bro. Malone and Bro. Bryant for the music, Brothers Shabazz, Horton, Terry Williams, Cox, Gregory Mainor, Eric Johnson and Bro Ates.
But more especially, I would like to thank each and every brother, our families and friends who made this possible.
Team NJ all the Way!
God Bless You and God Bless the M.·.W.·. Job Grand Lodge

Today I attended the State Marshals meeting and as usual it was interesting to say the least.
That being said, I enjoyed myself at this communication.

Brothers, Sisters and Friends:
On February 10, I made my official visit to Jeremiah No. 125. Prior to the communication I had the pleasure of seeing Ill. Vernon Gilcrest who I haven't seen in some time.
Ill. Gilcrest was dressed to impress as he was on his way to church for a program celebrating their 61st Anniversary.
During the communication I also saw brothers Manning and Davis who I haven't seen in some time as well. Bro. Davis and I communicated for a while on several ideas that might make the Trestle Board.
On Jeremiah's Trestle Board tonight was the healing of a brother who Demited from PH and the conferring of the first degree on a candidate.
It was a pleasure fellowshipping with the Jeremiah as we had lots of laughs.
We congratulate Bro. Willie Randolph, WM for his efforts. Keep up the good work.

This weekend we had our 39th Annual National District Eastern Jurisdiction Convention in Holyoke Massachusetts.
We are proud to say New Jersey had the largest delegation at the convention.
The education department put on a great show. This may very well have been the best National District Convention ever.
