George, Amanda and the kids are all now well settled in in Albuquerque, New Mexico at his new job.

Paul & Beth will be in their new home in Maricopa, AZ by the middle of September.

Please note the header of the Council. This means that we are going to need to get Ann Arbor Council off and going on a new start very soon.

Art Davidge has agreed to take over as the Recorder of the Commandery.

We have some new young Companions in the Council and several new candidates for the degrees. Some have agreed to step forth and assist in this transformation and regrowth of the Council. We are still needing others to do so. Don’t be a stranger to the Cryptic Craft.

The election will be in December so come out for the next couple of months. Check out the work and the Companions in attendance. I know that by doing so you will come away with the feeling of wanting to be a more active part of this organization.

Congratulations to Stephen Striggow on his fine year as the Grand Master of Royal and Select Masons for this past year.

We send our congratulations and best wishes for an even more successful year, if that is possible, to Dwight A. Humm, Most Illustrious Grand Master for 2011-2012, and his core of Officers for the coming year.
