Brothers 2006 is already half over, well they do say that time flies when you are having fun. I have been having a good time this year I have visited each lodge in the 40^th District at least once, most of them several times and have enjoyed every minute of it. Have you been to your Lodge this year or visited any of the other Lodges. Thanks in part to the “GOLD BRICK” it seems that visitation is up this year, BUT I really hope that it is for the “Fellowship and Brotherly Love” more than the gold brick. But whatever the reason I like it.

Grand Lodge is coming up September 22^nd and 23^rd I really hope that we have a good turn out this year especially since one of our own will be Grand Master in 2007. If all goes as expected Right-Worshipful Brother Berry Rigdon will be elected Grand Master. Grand Lodge will be held in Winston Salem this year so it is a lot closer for us in the far west. Please try to be there with me to see our own Brother elected Grand Master.

That is all I have at this time but if I can be of help to you or your Lodge PLEASE let me know. I check my e-mail at least once a day and most of the time I have my cell phone with me so I am easy to get in touch with.
