From the East - It hardly seems possible that summer is here. Enjoy the beauty of the flowers, and the abundance of the garden. Take advantage of the long days of summer to sit with an old friend and enjoy a tall, cold glass of lemonade.

Even though the summer can be a busy time, we hope that many of you will have the opportunity to join with us during some of the summer events. Take advantage of this large extended family that we have been blessed with in our Order, and always take time to "Love one Another".

With much fraternal love,
