Fraternal Greetings to You Brethren From the East Good news from the East, our pancake breakfast September was successful. We had 23 friends and brothers show up and we generated $400.00 for our charities and philanthropies. We also initiated two brothers and look forward to a DDGM visit pretty soon. More to follow. The month of October will bring us closer to another 5th Thursday, suggestions can be made to our JW, else it will be in K-Machos Mexican restaurant. Remember to participate whenever possible with your loved ones in our events to continue to spread brotherly love and affection towards each other. Fraternally, WM Jose Marrero Tidings from the West: My Brothers I was so pleased to see how well everyone remembered their parts during our last work session. Bro. Dahl stepped up and learned the questions of the 1st degree, kudos to him. Thanks to all the Brothers who have made the effort of simply showing up.
