Dear Brethren,

In the past few months, I have been asking if anyone was interested in taking the "EAST" next year. We did have a line of successors in order, but due to relocations and personal situations, it didn't hold true. We were in need of a volunteer. With much regret, I personally could not take a "third year."

I then decided to have a "Past Masters" night in order to get their feelings and ideas. At first there was some silence, then one by one Masonic Brotherhood came through. A great amount of support came out from everyone present. W.B. John Lacki will be my successor the following year. W.B. John Perez will be his successor the following year. We are hoping to get all the newly raised brethren involved in different chairs to get a line of officers moving all for the future.

Brethren, we need your help and support. Being Master is not an easy endeavor. You are only as good as the brethren behind you.

W.B. John Lacki and W.B. John Perez are living proof that there are two "Saint Johns."

Fraternally Yours,

Edward Gasior W.M.
