giving me the opportunity to serve as your District Deputy Grand Master. Also

I would like to thank all of the brethren for the work that went into making the

IPM a great success. From the chairmen of the various IPM committees and to

all of the volunteers that put in countless hours. I thank you! This event was a

great opportunity for us to bring Masonry out to the public so they can see

more of what we are all about. I would also like to say congratulations to St.

22 at Spring Valley marking this occasion, which was a great evening. I

have finally received the Trestleboard for this up coming year, back from the

printers and by the time this (the Square & Compasses) goes to print and delivered

every brother should have a copy. Let us all keep up the great work in

the District by making each Lodge night fun, and bring Masonry out to let the

public know what we are all about. In closing I hope to see you all sometime

during the year at a Lodge meeting or at a function in the District. Thanks

again St. Lawrence District. Brethren, the Grand Master has a word for this T.

E. A. M. Together Everyone Accomplishes More. Sincerely and Fraternally.

R. W. Bro. Todd H. Ferguson. DDGM of St. Lawrence District.”
