DISTRICT GRAND ROYAL ARCH CHAPTER OF CENTRAL SOUTH AFRICA

2007 END OF-YEAR MESSAGE FROM THE GRAND SUPERINTENDENT

We are at the close of another calendar year yet at the start of our Royal Arch Year.  A year that for many of us will be filled with challenges in our work, our families and with our friends and Companions.  Lets make it a year where we can say that we did our best to make the challenges of others that bit easier and assisted in making everyone's year happier and more fruitful.

2007 has seen great advances in our Royal Arch.  Our web site running at full steam, our accounting system going live on air, and probably the highlight of our year, the presence in South Africa of MEC CIR
Wolrige Gordon of Esslemont and deputation from Supreme Grand Chapter for our Convocation.  My sincere thanks to all who helped to make this possible and to those who assisted in making their stay in South Africa a happy one.

It would take a book to thank all the Companions and their good ladies for the assistance and kindness shown to Diann and myself during the convocation but I feel it would be remiss not to single out MEC Braam Visser and Della for all they have done not only for myself but for the Royal Arch in our district.  Braam and Della my heartfelt thanks.

May I take this opportunity of wishing all our Companions and their families a blessed Christmas, and a peaceful and prosperous New Year.

Be careful on our roads.

May the Most High be with you all.

MEC DMA Gardiner.
Grand Superintendent.
