My Brothers,
Oh no, here we go again...maybe I'll get it right this time.
All kidding aside, I am looking forward to a wonderful year. I am fortunate again to have a great
line of officers and Past Masters to help me have a successful year. For those who know me well...I
have had plenty of time to eat more paint chips. So get ready it is going to me a very busy year.
Just look at the calendar.
We will continue trying new things this year and I hope you will all make an effort to participate.
We will be having events for our ladies and families to enjoy...so come out! You, the members are
what make this lodge successful.
Thank you!
May the Great Architect of the Universe bless you and your families!
Fraternally Yours,
W∴M∴ Stephane (Steve) G. Sabourin, PM
