Bob C Photo Greetings!

Happy July 4th Everyone!  I hope you have a great day!

I've left our interview with WXYZ, the ABC affiliate in Detroit up for a another week.  To view it, click here:  Interview with WXYZ

I also have a few DVD's of the interview if you would like to use it for a Masonic Awareness program, open house or any other program where you need a four minute clip.  Just send me a note.

I've included a new link to Zig Ziglar speaking on Goal Setting.  I hope you enjoy it.

We're still looking for all of you who are or were Lodge Education Officers.  See the article below and click on the link to assist us in locating you.

There are a couple of golf outings coming up.  If your lodge or group is hosting one, let me know and I'll get it in the e-news for next week.

As always, Poets Corner, Weekly Motivations and the Masonic Challenge are included. 

Have a great week, we'll see you down the road!

God Bless,
Bob
