Greetings Companions Hopefully we are done now with those cold April showers and spring is finally in the air. The Grand York Rite annual session is approaching quickly and we need to make our reservations so if you have not as of yet let our Companion Secretary know if you will be attending, do so, so that we can get the paperwork in order. On the 11th we will be having our Illinois/Wisconsin Grand Chapters combined capitular festival in Racine. We have 2 candidates for the degrees, this is a good day to reconnect and encourage our newly exalted companions. Last month we updated our by-laws and copies can be had from our Secretary. We also had our elections and congratulations are in order for Thomas Couture, Kenneth Savadil and Arthur Karos who have been elected to our high council for the ensuing year: Scribe, King and High Priest respectively. Installation is slated for our June meeting. Remember we gather together again on June 5th at 7:30, dinner however is at 5:30 and at a cost of $10.00 at Mykanos Family Restaurant at 8501 W. Capitol Dr. To noble and glorious work! Jim Burton, EHP
