Brothers all:

In one week we will be at Palm Sunday, a week before Easter and the day before our Inspection Night (April 6^th) on the EA degree.  We are very likely to have another candidate and that will make three live candidates.  I got a call from the Master of Manchester 73 who would like us to add one from his lodge to our EA degree presentation because he needs to catch up a new EA with two who are ready for their FC degree.

Next Sunday at 4 pm (yes on Palm Sunday) we will rehearse for the next night.  I am sure we will all be home by 6 pm.  On Monday, the usual pre-degree dinner at the Red Onion for our candidates will be happening and those who are able may attend to wish the newcomers well before the degree and to get to know them a bit.

Tonight is the Grand Lodge Banquet and tomorrow the Grand Lodge Session.  Tuesday evening is the Blue Lodge Council meeting at Columbia lodge in South Glastonbury.  Please come to BLC as we have space for 10.    

There is a lot going on brothers in the next three months.  I hope to see you in lodge for our inspection night.  The SW from Manchester 73 has offered to do the working tools, long form that evening.

As always, email me with names and email addresses of any brothers who might appreciate this message, or better yet, forward it to them and let them email me to say hello directly!

Best fraternal regards as always!
