Brothers, Sisters and Friends:
On the weekend of October 13-16, 2011 the New Jersey Delegation traveled to Beachwood, OH for the 59th Annual National Conclave. New Jersey had the largest Delegation of all the states.
The New Jersey Exalted Degree Department shined above the rest. During the joint communication all four departments conducted a joint memorial ceremony. On Saturday, Joshua Grand Commandry opened the Knights Templar flawlessly.
Our hats off to our four leaders, Ill. Aaron Burroughs GHP, Bro. Perry Rice GEC, Sis Kay Booker GRM, Sis. Ruth Suber, GMAM, as well the members who participated in these ceremonies.
Fraternally,
Ill. Raymond L. Smith, 33°
M.·.W.·. Grand Master
