Companions,
With the Christmas season upon us I want to take the time to send out this special message.
First, I would like to thank each of you for all the work that has been done this year. With your help we have greeted 43 new council members since August 1 and the future of Illinois York Rite Looks very bright.
But most importantly, I would like to remind each you to take time to enjoy your friends and family. I pray this season brings you nothing but joy and love. Let us remember to be kind to our fellow brothers and lend a helping hand anytime you can. Your time, your compassion, and your efforts can make such a difference to someone struggling or in despair. Just the fact you show care and concern can make all the difference in the world to someone who needs it.
In closing, always remember the reason we celebrate Christmas! God bless each and everyone of you and I look forward to seeing you again this upcoming year.
