With Christmas gone the Officers and their families couldn\u2019t be more thankful for everyone in and around the Lodge.<\/span><span class=\"gmail-eop\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-paragraph\" style=\"margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span class=\"gmail-normaltextrun\">During Harmony\u2019s December Regular Communication, it was an absolute pleasure to have three very deserving Brothers do their\u00a0proficiencies\u00a0and become official members of Harmony Lodge #9 F,&amp;A.M. In addition, we were able to come together and make a very generous donation to the U.S. Marine Corps\u2019 Toys For Tot&#8217;s foundation which may be my favorite charity we all do all year! Those children deserved to feel special this time of the year and I\u00a0couldn\u2019t\u00a0be more thankful for the Brothers and the Order of Easter Star for making that a reality.<\/span><span class=\"gmail-eop\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-paragraph\" style=\"margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span class=\"gmail-normaltextrun\">Our Annual Children&#8217;s Christmas Party was\u00a0a huge success\u00a0thanks to Brother Senior Steward Adam Clement and his family. The children really enjoyed making the crafts with the help of Fidelity DeMolay and Woodridge Rainbow Girls. I would also like to thank Brother Chaplain Ralph Carlini for his reading of Twas\u2019 the Night Before Christmas and our visit from Santa &amp; Mrs. Claus. I have to say Santa\u00a0definitely make\u00a0so excellent choice in toys and entertainment for our event.<\/span><span class=\"gmail-eop\"> <\/span><span class=\"gmail-normaltextrun\">It was impressive to see over forty children and their families at our Lodge. We had well over a hundred guest enjoying some holiday cheer together. Our Lodge was with filled with so much love and joy.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-paragraph\" style=\"margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span class=\"gmail-normaltextrun\">Not to be overshadowed in any manner, Brother Junior Warden James Lafitte organized a very enriching and important tenant of our fraternity, our Holiday Visitations to our sick and infirmed Brothers and Special Ladies. I can not express how integral it is to be there for our Harmony family. Without our Brothers and their families\u00a0we wouldn\u2019t\u00a0be where we are today as a Lodge, so please reach out our Brothers and ladies. They would love and appreciate to hear from us all.<\/span><span class=\"gmail-eop\">\u00a0<\/span><o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-paragraph\" style=\"margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span class=\"gmail-normaltextrun\">With such an amazing start to the year and\u00a0the month of January\u00a0in our sights, I\u00a0can&#8217;t\u00a0wait to enjoy the coming year with you all.
