Worshipful Master's Message Brethren,         Wow! What a great turn out last month for our first Stated Meeting. I want to thank everyone who took the time out of their busy schedules to attend the meeting. Joe Daddona was a great speaker as he shared some of his humorous experiences with us. I want to also thank Brother Robert W. Steckel, District Deputy Grand Master, for attending the meeting with us as well as the district officers who accompanied him. One last person I cannot forget to thank or else I will probably go hungry, is my mom who on very short notice prepared a bounteous and delicious stewards report.         Some upcoming events we have planned are a bus trip to New York City to see a play, a trip to Atlantic City, and Ladies Night. The New York City Trip will be on Saturday, April 20, 2002, to see either The Crucible or The Phantom of the Opera. There are a limited number of seats available so contact me or any officer as soon as possible to purchase tickets. The Atlantic City and Liberty Bell trip will be on June 1, 2002, more details will be announced as time gets nearer.         The February Stated Meeting will feature someone you may have seen on television or in the newspaper recently, Steve Wheeler from the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office, Bureau of Narcotics Investigation. Drug abuse is a prevalent and serious issue in today's society. The job he and the other agents do to take drugs and drug dealers off the streets and out of the hands of youths are vital to ensure a prosperous and strong America. Brethren, please attend this month's Stated Meeting and let's see if we can top the attendance of last month. As always, any Brethren who need transportation feel free to call any lodge officer to make arrangements.         A note to the Lodge officers: it is important for all of us to attend the School of Instruction on the second Wednesday of the month so that we can maintain the Greenleaf tradition of performing very impressive ritualistic work. Fraternally Fred A. Saab Worshipful Master
