Brethren,

May is already at the door and I still wonder what happened to April.  I want to be sure and invite all the Brethren and families to the Hiram Dinner to honor our very special Past Master Herb.  We have a very special meal planned and you don't want to miss it.  Mark your calendar now for May 10, 2008 , 6:00 p.m.   I can tell how great it is work it was to have Peter Belli step up to put this dinner together.  I am indeed blessed to be part of such a strong Masonic family both in and out of the lodge.

I had the great honor to participate in the Junior Wardens Retreat and training at San Ramon, Ca. April 4-6.  I have to tell you it was a very excellent meeting and very motivating.  It is clear that Masonry is moving in the right direction.  The leadership of the Grand Lodge is in good hands and I can see reason to optimistic for our beloved fraternity for years to come.
