I am grateful to be asked to continue in this role. Implementing a strategy does involve all of you and those unable to attend this evening. As President Pat offered in his final report, we all play a role in advancing our mission of Friendship, Unity, and Christian Charity. For the activities we schedule, there is an element of service we still are lacking in – that of participation. Our numbers should be larger this evening. We have an election of officers, we’ll share food in Unity that will grace our bodies after this meeting, and hopefully are we eager to learn about the next service project or event we can share as brothers. Please make note of the calendar of events that is provided and place yourself into one or more of these events. Share the Friendship. We talk about Charities; ensure you leave this evening with your share of Trip to Ireland raffle tickets to sell. You know we continually support many charities with the funds we receive from many events we sponsor and this raffle. Brother JP is ready to provide you your tickets this evening. Have a plan of action for the meeting in January and bring a new member.
