Annual BBQ

Brothers, Sisters and Friends:

On May 21, 2011 we held our Annual Fellowship BBQ. On behalf of the MW Job Grand Lodge I would like to thank each and everyone who attended the Fellowship BBQ.

This year the children enjoyed face painting, horse rides a bounce unit, etc. But, they really enjoyed beating up on the adults in softball for the second year in a row.

Most of the adults enjoyed friendly games of dominoes and spades.

In all we had a good day fellowshipping with our brothers and sisters and that is truly what it is all about.

Now let's get ready for an outstanding convention.

Brothers, Sisters and Friends:

This Saturday was another busy day. We began it with the NJ State Marshal's convention.

It was good to see so many non marshals attend the Marshal's Convention. This is the final convention of the year leading into our Annual Convention.

Afterward several of us made a pit stop at Makkah Shrine Temple's function.

From there I was off to Trenton to make an official visit to Prince of Peace No. 156. I would like to remark that they informed me that they are truly the best lodge in Trenton.

It was good to see the brothers in such good spirit.

Fraternally,

Brothers, Sisters and Friends:

On May 13, we held our final Grand Lodge Communication of this Masonic Calendar Year.

We had a good communication highlighted by Bro. Hillman's lecture, the presentation of Past Grand Master Charlie Knight's GM Coin and the presentation of Bro. Robert Jackson of King David No. 80's Twenty Year Certificate.

Next on the Trestle Board is the Grand Lodge BBQ and finally our Annual Convention.

See you there!

On May 1, 2011 I attended the Bethune Grand Chapter's Annual Queen Esther Day. The service was held at St. Mathews Church in Orange New Jersey.

Reverend Reginald jackson gave a great sermon. It was food for the mind and soul. We had an excellent time at this annual celebration.
