Finally, brethren, Attention Masters and Wardens: WHAT DO YOU WANT OUT YOUR DISTRICT? As a lodge, you have a voice in this district. Select one brother from your lodge to act as an ambassador and communicate needs, desires, or goals. This will help us facilitate and take action as a district. Email the District Education Rep. for time and the person who will represent your lodge. If you have anything coming up, degree, activities, or anything else please let the DER know so everyone can attend.

 Fraternally,

VWB Jeremiah J King

District Education Rep. 17^Th District
