My Brothers,
Our Grand Lodge Visit was one for the record books; it was truly an epic event.
We celebrated Mardi Gras with the Grand Master, his staff and brothers from around the state. A fabulous dinner was enjoyed by
144 guests. After dinner the ladies enjoyed an evening with comedic magician Denny More as 70+ brothers retired to the lodge
room for the official Grand Lodge Visit. As a Master, It is always a great feeling to see that many members in a lodge room
for a meeting. For the past three years we have had a themed Grand lodge with great success and I hope we will continue them
in the future.
A huge thank you to Kyle Schulze SW, Tom Ventura Sr. PM, the Officers of St. John's lodge No 2, and their ladies that helped
with this event.
A special thank you to Jean Schulze for her hard work organizing, coordinating
and preparing the excellent meal! I can't thank everyone enough!!
As always, I look forward to seeing each and every one of you.
Fraternally Yours,
W∴M∴ Stephane (Steve) G. Sabourin, PM
