Brothers, Sisters and Friends:

August 6, 2011 was the launch of our Annual Basketball Tournament. The start of the tournament wasn't the only launch, as I watched several of the kids launch to the rim.

It was great to see these kids involved in positive activities. If you are available please stop by the Mickey Walker Center located at 860 Anna St in Elizabeth NJ. The games run from 10-4 pm.

Supreme Convention

Brothers, Sisters and Friends:

The week of July 16 thru July 23 was the 61st Annual Supreme Convention held in Orlando Florida. A large delegation from New Jersey attended the convention.

Numerous delegates obtained office on the National level. Once again the Most Worshipful Job Grand Lodge came away with the Number One Grand Lodge of the Year. This success is attributed to the hard work of each and every brother. Our goal now is to not look backward, but Always Forward. Our current goal is to make it three years in a row. The other Grand Lodges will be trying harder, so we must work even harder.

In addition Job Grand Lodge performed the Masonic Memorial Ceremony for the General Assembly. At the next Grand Lodge Communication we will discuss other activities of the convention.

Fraternally,
