Greetings Warden’s and Brethren,

​Well, our first “Virtual” Annual is over and considering, I think it went very well. My deepest thanks and appreciation for a job well done goes out to our Right Worshipful, District Deputy Grand Master Stephan H. Saraidarian and his Grand Master of Ceremonies Jason J. Rainone. Without their guidance and enormous amount of support and help, it could not have been done. I also want to thank our own Right Worshipful Secretary, Daniel Rzewuski. For those of you who have sat in the East know, our job would be much harder without all the help from our Secretary. Moving forward this year we have a few open chairs that we will have to deal with, Junior Steward and Sentinel. We also have a number of brethren that still need to get their proficiency done. We are in talks with these Brethren and Grand Lodge as to options. I am working on some presentations that can be done Virtual, since I think it may be a while before we can meet at Franklin Lodge. We will also be giving flowers to all our Special Ladies on Valentine’s Day which is on a Sunday this year. That being said, I hope all of you and your families are being safe and taking all necessary precautions against Covid - 19.
