The Grand Lodge of Michigan
Week of August 22, 2011
Bob C Photo Greetings!

On Saturday the Leaders of the Grand Lodge met in Grand Rapids for a Leadership Retreat.  You have a great bunch of men, Board of General Purposes Representatives, District Deputy Instructors, Regional Grand Lecturers, and Grand Lodge Officers all committed to a better fraternity.  The group worked on Becoming better listeners, and Managing Change as well as topics of specific interest to each of those groups.  I had a great time, my thanks to everyone for attending and being involved and concerned enough to take time out of your life to make yourself and your fraternity better. 

There will be lots of new stuff in September so stay tuned.  Enjoy the balance of your summer, take some time off for God's sake!  You deserve it.

Have a wonderful week!
Bob
