Amalric & Mithra were a BLAST! Tomorrow is a lodge night, and next week, while I sit back and enjoy the posts from Erie I have DeMolay and Grotto. Next big stop will be Bendemeer Grotto on the 15th, starting my July travels with Saba and Sinbad close behind. I just planned a special trip this 4th of July up to Tulsa, where I will be enjoying the fireworks with the Saba Guys as well! Thank you, Crispy, for the invite to join you and the Shriners up there! I am already working on a Fall/Winter schedule that will likely involve TN, and I know I need to see some folks in TX as well. Please let me know if you are interested in a visit, and I will do the best I can where time and finances allow. Let's talk!

Here's the group shot from last night's meeting with Mithra Grotto. What a great night. I loved mingling with all the Brothers and their Ladies. I wish we could have had more time. There is so much good work to be done and great ideas bouncing around the room, and the positive energy was palatable! I can hardly wait to see you guys again, and hope I can make the next trip sooner rather than later!
