Greetings from the East

Brothers, this will be my last newsletter to all of you.  I have had a wonderful year and hope you all had a lot of fun along with me.  It was a great experience and I am glad I was elected by all of you.  The year to come will be lead by Jeremy Davis who was elected on November 1st.  He has many exciting things already planned so be looking for his first communication.

My last event will be December 8th when we will be having a Holiday dinner at which we will be honoring our Teacher of the Year and our Scholarship recipient.  The dinner is at 6:30 p.m., and the cost is $10 per person.  I hope to see many of you there to support our Teacher of the Year and Scholarship recipient.

Degree work is flowing like usual.  We are having a degree every Thursday night so if you want to see one or participate come on out.  The Sunday practices are back on which are from 4:30-6 p.m. at the lodge.

I hope to see a lot of faces for the meal on December 6th at 6:30 p.m. and the stated meeting at 7:30 p.m.

WM Josh Tostlebe
