Brothers, Sisters and Friends:
On March 12, I attended the Joint District Grand Convention for Freestone District No. 5, Herbert Turner District No. 6 and the A3 City Council of Newark.
During the City Council meeting the Youth Department made a presentation to the membership.
Deputy District Grand Master Bro. Anthony Gamble did a very good job of opening the District Grand Lodge as well as performing the Annual Memorial Ceremony.
District Master Eric Tennent gave a lecture entitled, "Am I My Brother's Keeper."
District Master Oliver presented Brothers Williams, Bennett and Gamble awards for their hard work in the District.
After the District Convention I traveled to Jersey City to donate blood for Absalom of David's Annual Blood Drive.
We would like to commend Absalom of David for their efforts in giving the gift of life.
Fraternally,
Ill. Raymond L. Smith, 33°
