Dear Sir Knights & Ladies,

   Spring is here the Crocus is still alive and the Robins are looking for worms, all is well in Denmark! After the cold weather is gone the cleaning begins and cabin fever finishes, that’s right get out and get the lead out, move around and smell the roses. Clichés aside spring starts all things a new, full of life and fresh ideas for the upcoming year with only one thing to remember, go for it! Life won’t wait and time is not our friend.

   Our monthly business meeting is moved to the 8th due to holy week  activities We had a good fish fry down here in Plymouth netting $4000 a first I believe signs of good things to come.

   The weather is changing and I have been ill on and off for a month now and need to finalize this letter to ready for the press and sometimes I can’t get the words to come out but when all else fails the universal thing to remember is prayer. We take it for granted and refuse to say them but low and behold when we do say them, life becomes so much easier to tolerate. Last month we Nominated the new Slate Officers for the 2010-2011 fiscal year go to the website for details. It has been an honor to serve you these last two years as I will be stepping down this year as Faithful Navigator making way for Rick Alexander as our new leader.

   Our plans for Exemplification in South Bend late summer this year are underway and the Century Center Downtown is the most likely site that it will be at with the Masters blessing. Click here for our Website  on 2010 Exemplifications for more details.
