FROM THE 1st VICE PRESIDENT
Contributed by Ill. L. John Garhartt, PP, 1st Vice President
Nobles:
The Spring Session of NYOSA is over and a great deal of information was provided to all that were in attendance. The Bylaws were discussed and will be mailed to all temples so that any changes can be submitted so that they can be acted on at the Fall Session in Geneva.
Information packets will be available at the fall session for the 2009 spring session that will be held at The Fort William Henry Resort and Conference Center in Lake George, that is if I am elected.
I hope that everyone has a save and enjoyable summer and I hope to see everyone in Saint Louis, MO at the Imperial Session.
If you are interested in becoming an officer in the association make sure that you get your support letter from your temple to the nominating committee or the secretary of the association.
The President has stated that there will be clown competition at the fall session so please make sure that the units know and are prepared. The contact person is the 2nd VP Mel Birnbaum.
The “Shriner of the Year” nominating forms will be available soon and the chairman is 3rd VP Bob Seldomridge.
I am always available for any questions or concerns that you may have and if I do not know the answer I will make sure that you get it in a timely manner.
Ill. L. John Garhartt, PP
Yours in the Faith,
Ill. L. John Garhartt, PP, 1st Vice President
