Brethren,

Greetings. By now, you must have heart the good tidings. Two COVID-19 vaccines are heading for emergency approval with 95% effectiveness. The experts are telling us that by the early summer everyone who wants to get vaccinated will eb able to do so. This is a celebration cause. Please continuewith all necessary precautions until then.

I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, whether you decide to celebrate with family or not. No matter what you do please be careful and follow the pandemic guidelines for your area.

In the meantime, the Grand Lodge of the State of New York is following the latest third wave guidelinesof the State Of New York. Our lodge will remain virtual for December with a Zoom meeting on Wednesday December 2.

Please note that the Zoom meeting information will be used for all 1st Wednesday of the month meetings (if any), until June 2021.

Looking ahead to the end of the year we will have no in person meetings at the lodge.
