My first<br \/>\nnight in the east was an honor. At the first sound of the gavel I was sure<br \/>\nnervous, however looking out at all of my brothers knowing they were there to<br \/>\nsupport me and the lodge I became relaxed and down to work.<br \/>\nDecember started with our children&#8217;s Christmas Party. I want to thank Patrick<br \/>\nConnor for his work on putting this together. His elves were there to support<br \/>\nhim to make this another success. While the party was going on Bro. Mike<br \/>\nCunningham and the class of 2013 aided the people from CHIPS. We had 14<br \/>\nchildren take part in the sign up. Mike thank you to your class thanks, this is a<br \/>\nvaluable program that protects our children. Of course, Santa came and<br \/>\ngreeted the kids and passed out his gifts. I just don&#8217;t know how he has the time<br \/>\nat this time of the year.<br \/>\nOn December 14th Harmony hosted our ladies at Chelo&#8217;s again Bro. Mike<br \/>\nCunningham headed up this dinner for the ladies. I also want to thank my<br \/>\nstewards Sr. Steward James Hopper and Jr. Steward Robert Izzi for being the<br \/>\ngreeters. Thanks you to my wonderful, wonderful, wonderful wife Cher for<br \/>\narranging the gifts and center pieces. (Get it Mike) Jennifer Mello provided<br \/>\nsong and fun for the ladies.<br \/>\nOn December 21st many of our brothers visited our ladies and sick and shut in<br \/>\nbrothers. Jr. Warden Al Anton did a great job looking up some of our brothers<br \/>\nthat may have been missed in the past. My thanks go out to Al and all of the<br \/>\nmembers of Harmony that made the time to do these visits.<br \/>\nth January will also be busy. Our regular meeting on Jan 7 then we travel to the<br \/>\nCape on Jan 17-19 which is always fun. Don&#8217;t forget that your final payment is<br \/>\nth due at the Jan 7 meeting. W Steve Charron will be glad to take the checks. At<br \/>\nthe end of Jan we will have our EA Degree for the new class.<br \/>\nCher and I wish that all of you had time to spend with your family during this<br \/>\nChristmas season and all have a Happy and Joyful New Year.<\/p>\n<p>Fraternally yours<br \/>\nEdward J.
