Greetings Sir Knight,

 

We are in the "dead" of winter right now, but take heart. The days are beginning to lengthen and the promise of springtime in only a couple of months away. But even though it is winter, we are all hard at work in our Commanderies. It has been a joy to visit with many of you, and I am grateful for the wonderful hospitality you have afforded me and those who accompany me. Keep abreast of my Official Visits, and join us when it is possible for you to do so. The fellowship is GREAT!

Don't forget to take the opportunity to recognize those Sir Knights who have provided support, leadership and guidance, by awarding them the Illustrious Knight of the Triangle. I strongly encourage each Com­mandery to bring honor to themselves and those Sir Knights by fully participating in this Awards program. S.K. Lawrence Breletic, REPGC GT, and Chairman has supplied each Commandery with the forms you need.

The Division Commanders Seminar, the Past Division Commanders Annual Association meeting and banquet, and the Grand Officers Conference will be held the first weekend in February. This weekend combines the meeting of three very important bodies in our Grand Commandery. Much is accomplished that weekend for the betterment and success of Grand Commandery.

Information concerning the Annual Conclave of Grand Commandery will soon be forthcoming. I look forward to greeting many of you there.
