Greeting Companions,

February has come to an end and with the mild winter we have experienced so far, it has allowed us to travel in relative safety and comfort.

  • February 6, attended Church Parade at Balzac United Church. There were approximately 30 Companions in attendance, accompanied by their wives. David and Vivian Boone of Otuskwan Chapter # 9 provided the soup kitchen at the community centre which was enjoyed by everyone in attendance including members of the congregation.

  • February 12, attended the Grand Executive Committee Meeting at Red Deer Masonic Temple. Reports for all the committees were presented. Arrangements for the Grand Convocation were reported and all is in order.

  • February 26, attended District # 3 Workshop at Strathmore Masonic Lodge. This workshop was under the direction of Rt. Ex. Comp. Don Murray. The workshop was well organized at each Chapter in District # 3 presented a paper. Approximately 30 companions were in attendance. Ample discussion insured after each presentation. Rt. Ex. Comp. Murray is to be commended on his efforts for this workshop.

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the George Washington Convocation in Conrad, Montana on Feb. 18 and 19. Rt. Ex. Comp. David Hongisto was able to attend and brought greetings on behalf of the Grand Chapter of Alberta.

For the month of March, I plan to make fraternal visits to

  • Golden West Chapter # 5,

  • Shekinah Chapter # 4,

  • Crescent Chapter # 24

  • and Otuskwan Chapter # 9.

On March 31, I will be attending the Job's Daughters Grand Session in Canmore.

Companions, as our convocation in May rapidly approaches, I would encourage you to make your hotel reservations and submit your registration to Rt. Ex. Comp. Don Dygert as soon as possible. The registration form is available on this web site as well as with your Scribe "E".

Looking forward to seeing you in the near future.

Fraternally yours,

M.E.C. Don Gillies
Grand First Principal
