DISTRICT GRAND ROYAL ARCH CHAPTER OF CENTRAL SOUTH AFRICA

2009 END OF-YEAR MESSAGE FROM THE GRAND SUPERINTENDENT

Another year has come and gone and may I thank all the Royal Arch members who supported not only their individual Chapters but also the District.

In general, I feel that attendance was better than last year and most chapter workings done in a more proficient manner.

I have heard the good and bad of this year's Convocation and so far the good outweigh the bad,

However if you feel that something could have been improved please feel free to drop me a line with your recommendations. I should warn you however that you may just be landed up with the job so be careful with your remarks. One chapter has already volunteered to run the Bar for next year's function which has been accepted with grateful thanks.

To those of you who helped out again this year once more my thanks. Also to George at Executive Bakery for the donation of cakes and pastries for the Ladies tea and Tubby for the donation of Sherry which everyone enjoyed.

It would be remiss of me not to thank my wife Diann for all the assistance and support given during this year and the many nights spent alone at home, Diann thank you.

Once more the Festive Season is upon us and I am sure that many of you will be travelling to Holiday Destinations, Please take care all of you and your families are very dear to us remember “Speed Kills”

May I take this Opportunity of wishing all our Companions and their families a Blessed Christmas and peaceful and prosperous New Year.

Dave Gardiner

Grand Superintendent.
