Being a month into 2023, I know many of you have installed new local officers. Congratulations to you all! Please be sure to send your Lodge Offices changes to National Secretary Glenda, along with your lodge reports as it is very important for the Board to have the current contact information for all of our members. Thank you if you have already sent in your information.

We also would love to hear from you when your District Conventions are being held. I am sure all members, along with your Board, are looking forward to seeing you again and celebrate being back together. I am sure we all have so many stories to tell each other.

Speaking of District Conventions, we are having our upcoming Board meeting March 2nd5th in Denver, and one of the items we discuss is what information and guidance we can bring to the lodges at the District Conventions. This is your chance to let us know if there is something you think would be beneficial to the lodges. Please reach out to anyone of the Board members with your suggestions.

I have been able to spend much of my time this winter in Arizona and while there has been some rain it is nothing like our members in California are experiencing. My thoughts are with you, and I hope that you are staying safe. I want to remind all our members about our Disaster Relief fund, should you ever need it. We are all here for you and are happy to help.

Stay safe,

Christina Sallee, National President

Honorary Member Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II of Denmark
