Faithful Navigator’s Message

Faithful Navigator's Message, February

Brothers,

Well Winter seems to have come and gone faster than we expected. I say that there’s no more snow on the way because I finally got around to fixing my snowblower.

We have a dinner meeting on February 22nd. I hope to see everyone there.

There may be a bit of confusion in March, though. Thanks to Dave Frank’s tireless efforts, we once again have our March Communion Breakfast coming up, although it will take place on April 3rd (due to Easter and the Queen’s Inn’s availability). But then we have our regular Dinner Meeting on April 25th. So yes, there are two functions in April, after a bit of a quiet March.

We look forward to seeing everyone for the Communion Breakfast, as well as the Dinner Meeting.

Vivat,

SK Jeff Smith
