Brethren, first I would like to thank Wor. Bob Brigham and his corps of Officers for the fine job they did in strengthening our Lodge. They have given us a good foundation to build on.

I have been asked by our new Inspector, Wor. Russ Baldauf, to remind all of the Officers that they are required to attend all O.S.I. Meetings whenever they are able. If unable to attend, you must call him (his phone number is in the Trestleboard each month).

I would also like to thank all of you who have agreed to serve as an Officer or on a Committee. I must remind you that you have also agreed to attend all Lodge functions, particularly Stated Meetings, Degrees and Practices. If you are unable to attend please call either myself or the Officers' Coach, Wor. Manny Zuehlke, so we can plan accordingly.

Finally, I have been asked about our dress code. Officers should wear dark slacks and tie with white shirts for Stated Meetings and Degrees.
