"Quar nous navons volu ne volons le Temple mettre en aucune servitute se non tant come il hy affiert."
(For we did not and do not wish the Temple to be placed in any servitude except that which is fitting.)
-- Jacques de Molay in one of his memoranda to Pope Clement V from the summer of 1306.

Concretely manifesting the Masonic dictum of, "Who best can work and best agree".  Also buttressing our desire to reach higher heights is the wise counsel and continued active support of our Lodge Past Masters.

Here is a summary of our activities conducted and what we had accomplished during Masonic Year 2008:
