Message From the 1st Vice President

My dear Brothers and Sisters, after a year of political uncertainty and a global pandemic, I invite you to step forward with boldness and confidence, to experience a renewal of your hearts, minds, and souls. If the past year has taught us anything, it is that we cannot let opportunities to spend time together pass us by. I am looking forward to coming together in meetings and events; to lodge visits, hearing the laughter and rejoicing among all of you, especially after being apart for so long.

On Thursday, December 9, 2021, I attended Enrico Caruso Lodge #1463 (My Lodge), Meeting and Christmas Party. Our charities representatives from Bethlehem Center, Food Link, and The Rescue Mission attended the meeting. Each were presented with a check in the amount of $500.00 from our Lodge. We had a delicious dinner with a visit from Santa who gave each child a gift. The tables were set up beautifully in a Christmas theme with a gift at each place setting. It was a wonderful evening visiting with members that have not been to a meeting in over a year!

This year the State Vice Presidents will continue to gather information from their area/district lodges newsletters and share the various lodge activities with the lodge Presidents, State Officers and Committee Chairpersons monthly. My appointed State Deputies list and State Officers Official visit list was completed in August 2021 and copies of the lists were sent to the Grand Lodge Office and to our State Recording Secretary, Lori Rossi. I will be looking forward to receiving the required reports from the State Deputies.
