Another convention has come and gone. I want to thank everyone for voting me First State Vice President. Welcome to our returning State Officers and all of the new board members also.

We were presented with a new software package that National is using called Imembersdb. National has negotiated a deal for the State and Local lodges to be able to adopt this software at no cost to us. The only costs are if we upgrade to take some additional packages that we have currently decided not to do at the State Level. I have begun working with the Imembersdb team and by the time you read this the rollout should be close to being available. For those of you who saw the presentation and also wanted to use it for the Local Lodges it should be available very soon. If you have any question please feel free to contact me.

It was quite a treat to see

The Convention was packed with many activities from opening ceremony, where Maria Fazzio Pignati sang both our National Anthem and our Italian National Anthem to the swearing in of our New Grand Lodge President Arlene Nunziati. On Wednesday, we started out with the Bocce Tournament and then Thursday night

 I want to thank you for all the cooperation I have received in working with the Financial Secretaries of the Lodges to get all the financials in order.
