in attendance for the meeting. Eugene R. Small PDGS, PGMar, PM and James M. Tobin Sr. recognized
for 55 years of Masonic Service and outstanding achievement.
The Sock Hop was a tremendous success and would not have been possible without the outstanding
effort of Stephane G. Sabourin PM , and his wife Lisa, Bro Robert L. Daniels and his wife Ashley
and the rest of the officers St. John's Lodge No 2 as well as Mark Wilson. I am truly
