Brethren,

     Thank you so much for your attendance at our April Stated Communication. Metropolitan #11 had the honor of hosting Most Worshipful Edmond Cohen’s official visit to District 15-A. Everything went well and our officers did a great job. I am so proud of them.

     We had another great meal prepared by Candlewick Catering and served by our Stewards Committee under the direction of Brother Mark Parsons and Brother Ashley Thomas. Our Stewards always do an excellent job. Most Worshipful Cohen seemed to be very pleased with the attendance, the meal, and the friendly fellowship of our Lodge. I thought Most Worshipful Cohen's question and answer ”town hall” program went very well. After Most Worshipful Cohen closed the lodge, he thanked us for a good and productive meeting.

     We will be balloting on three new candidates at our May Stated. PLEASE make plans to be with us in the next weeks as we bring these new Brothers through the degrees in Freemasonry.

     At our May Stated Communication we will be honoring our Law Enforcement Brothers. Please come out and help us show our appreciation for them and for what they have done and continue to do. We have a very special evening planned. We will have Bar-B-Que and all the trimmings prepared by Brother Butch Olphin and his Bull Neck Brisco Catering. Always Great.

     Our Speaker for the evening will be my Brother and friend, Worshipful Doug Jones. Don't miss this as it is a very special message Doug will present to us.

     Brethren, I look forward to seeing and greeting each of you May 8th. Come share in our friendship and fellowship. Hopefully your attendance at this meeting could become a habit.

     I look forward to seeing each of you May 8th.

     Finally Brethren,

"Don't Be Late In 2008 - Attend Your Lodge”

     Fraternally & Respectfully,
     C. Thomas (Tom) Sykes
     Worshipful Master
