A few words from the Chair:

Brethren,
We are in the homestretch of this Masonic year term and I
must say we were very successful providing the Jurisdiction
with relevant information all through the year. Thank you for
your diligent efforts in sending in your articles to make this
publication withstand its course. The contributors managed to
In This Issue
provide us with articles on the latest news from their respective
areas, communicating effectively best practices that would as-
sist in improving our Masonic journey.
In the next Masonic year term, a major change will take place
about this publication. Hardcopies of the publication will again
be mailed to all the members of this Masonic Jurisdiction.
However, we will need the assistance of the Lodge secretar-
ies to help us purge the database for those that will opt-out to
receive the hardcopy version of the publication.
Please stay tuned for the guidance that will be sent out to all
the Lodges, to help us in properly sorting out the mailing list
so we may come up with the accurate number of copies to
distribute.
Again, thank you for your continued support to make this pub-
lication be an effective communication tool for our Grand Ma-
sonic Jurisdiction.
Fraternally,

MWB G. Santy Lascano, PGM
Chairman, GLWA Masonic Tribune
