Brethren, as I stated in my annual report, we began the year with ambitious plans. Some of them came to fruition, one is still in gestation, and some were not realized.

I would like to thank each and every one of you for the honor you bestowed upon me. I have learned many valuable lessons that will stand me in good stead throughout my Masonic career.

I would like to congratulate Worshipful Master Elect W.B. Martin Ede and wish him every success.

May all of you have a Happy and Safe Holiday Season. I look forward to seeing all of you in 2010.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Don Tansey
