From the East - It doesn't seem possible that our year is about to end. Brother Jeff and I would like to thank everyone who has helped in any way during our year in the East. Your love and support are much appreciated. To hold these offices has been an amazing experience.

We would like to wish Sister Lisa and Brother Bob much love and success during the coming year. We know that you have great things planned for your term, and we'll be right here should you need any assistance.

I hope that in your lives, you will always strive to be true, constant, loyal, faithful, and to "Love one Another".

With much fraternal love,
