Brethren and Guest,

I would like to thank each of you who attended our Open Installation of Officers. Those who missed it certainly missed a fine affair. The meal prepared by the O.E.S. Chapter 29 was outstanding on behalf of my fellow Officers once again thank you the members of O.E.S. Chapter 29 for your effort in making the evening a HUGE success. I think a special thank you is in order for Brother Marcus Henry for the exceptional photographs he took before and during the ceremony. Marcus then downloaded these pictures to his laptop and provided us with a slide show immediately following the Installation. These pictures can be found on our WebPages.

I know we have a great group of Officers this year and they are eager to get down to the business of the Lodge. Our first priority will be Degree work we have many candidates waiting to be initiated. We will try to do this on the Wednesdays when we do not have a regular communication. Please try to attend as many of these special meetings as possible for two reasons first it lets the Officers know you support them and secondly the candidates are always impressed when a large number of members are present.

You know I and the Officers are here to serve you. Should you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me or any of the Officers. In return we ask on small favor please try to attend at least one meeting a month. We try to keep them brief and to the point plus we are trying to have at least one topic of interest discussed at each meeting. See you at the next meeting

Fraternally,
Tom
