Trestle board 2020
Greeting Companions!
I hope that you all had a nice Holiday Seasons and am looking forward to a Happy New Year!
At the December 2019 meeting I had been re-elected to serve as the High Priest of Oneonta Chapter #277, for the ensuing year. I am looking forward to the opportunity to serve and am very excited as we have a great Chapter.
I would like to encourage you to bring your ideas to the February convocation for the open discussion. Three possible areas are:
- Increased Fellowship
- Community Involvement
- RAM Charity
Fraternally,
George Thompson, High Priest
thompgr at gmail.com (607) 829-6005
A reminder that YOU are needed at our convocations maybe to be that 9th that we need to officially open. Please come, have some fun and fellowship, learn some ritual, and make the chapter stronger. We need to visit other chapters.
