I would like to thank all the members of Theodore Roosevelt lodge in seeing me fit to lead the lodge this year. I would especially like to thank Brother Marty Martinez, Richard Goe, and Paul Gagan in helping me with positions of tiler and counselors. Also, a huge thank you to Past Master Mike Belongia for helping me get ready and offering his assistance on anything that I may need. As many of you know, we lost a brother in December and Past Master Belongia wanted to dedicate this year to his enthusiasm for the craft. I know a lot of things come up and we all don’t see eye-to-eye on all sub- jects, but if we can all come together as Brothers and instead of back room bickering, use that energy to help our lodge and members that need assis- tance, we will be stronger and have more respect for one another. This year we will be participating in the Entered Apprentice Degree compe- tition put on by Grand Lodge. We will practice a lot and I expect to win the competition with just our line officers, no ringers. BE PREPARED. Thank you again, and I promise a menu in the next issue. Barry V.

The trustees of the Perpetual Payment Plan (PPP) of the Valley of GreenBay will recommend to the membership meeting on January 20, 2010, thatthe fee for membership in the plan be raised from $900.00 to $1200.00.This is a result of increase in dues and present market yield for new invest-ments. Please contact Secretary Gerry Brebner if you are interested inbecoming a member under the present $900.00 fee. The trustees allow upto 5 years to make payment, but you must pay the Valley dues until youhave paid the PPP fee in full.
Thomas S. Pinney, Jr. PPP Trustee chr.
