My Brethren
The Grand Lodge Blood Donor Committee wishes to make you aware of and/or remind you of an important initiative.
Over the past several years, the committee has been working with the CBS in forming a
strong relationship in the Partners for Life program.
R.W. Bro Tom Forbes has been the key point man working on your behalf.
The week of February 20th to 25th has been designated as the Provincial Masonic Blood Donor week.
Correspondence and instruction material has been submitted to the Regional Chairmen who will pass on to the DDGM's under their direction.
It is expected that the District Deputy Grand Masters will pass this information to their District Chairmen
and subsequently will be communicated to the Lodges within the district.
This initiative is very exciting and will only be successful if everyone embraces and fulfills
their responsibilities in communicating this information to the brethren within the districts.
Regards,
David R. Dainard

I would like to thank the brethren of York District for the honour that they have granted me.
My election to the position of DDGM for York District is the high point of my Masonic career.
I would like to borrow a phrase from our new Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother D. Garry Dowling,
and use it as often as possible during this Masonic year.
The phrase is "I Believe". He used this at the conclusion of his remarks to Grand Lodge,
and he wanted to convey to the brethren present that we all must believe individually.
We all must hold the esteem and importance, of Masonry, close to our hearts and express it with our actions.
He wanted to make that commitment himself and therefore told the assembly that he did indeed "believe" in our fraternity.
I would like to echo that sentiment and tell the brethren of York District that, I too believe in our Craft.
I intend to display my belief openly, and as often as possible, during this Masonic year.
I invite all brethren to come out travelling this year. Join us, as we enjoy fellowship and explore
friendship in that most comfortable of settings --- the Masonic Lodges of York District.
