I hope you will join me on Wednesday December 16th for our last
meeting in 2009.  I am now a lame duck, as the lodge has elected
George Weted as Master for the year 2010.  I hope that I have served
you all well and met some of the expectations that you have entrusted
to me.  I can not thank my officers enough, for being there with me.
The same goes to those brothers, whom when I have asked for help have
stepped forward.

So I invite all of you down for this meeting, it would be a honor to
have and see you.  I am planning on this to be a night of enjoyment.
I have invited the Branford Rainbow Girls to come down and perform
their 'FUN' degree on select brothers of the lodge.  We will open the
lodge as usual and then break for refreshment, inviting the girls and
any guests in (wives and family are invited).  Having seen this degree
before I am sure you will all enjoy it.

Being that it is the holiday season, if you can, please bring
refreshments down for following the meeting.  The Rainbow Girls can
not stay if there is alcohol, so no beer.  BUT if we all bring some
sort of refreshment we can enjoy some holiday socializing after lodge.
 Please let me know if you can bring something, even if it's just
yourself.

Lets end the year 2009 with fellowship and fun.  Merry Christmas, and
Happy Holidays to all.

Fraternally
