Alexandria-Washington Lodge No. 22

April 1990

FROM THE EAST

Brethren,

It was with deepest regrets that I have received the resignation of our Senior Warden, Brother Victor Peren. Due to job conflicts and to professional obligations, he feels that it would be exceedingly difficult to continue in line. Brother Peren has filled the duties of his office in an exemplary manner and he shall be sorely missed. Nominations, election and installation to fill the office of Senior Warden, and other offices that might be affected, will take place at the first Stated Communication on the 12th.

The Grand Master's official visit to the District on March 12th was a hugh success. We had 48 members, ladies or widows from our lodge in attendance. Thank you for your support of this function. We have two scheduled visits to other Lodges this month on the 10th and 24th. I truly hope that as many of the brethren as possible will join me on these visits.

Also, we need to fill the Tiler's position - anyone in our lodge interested, please contact me.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Wardell H. Thomas
Worshipful Master
