Hi everyone!
 Well
the Grand Lodge convention has come and gone. It was a good constructive meeting
of the minds, and kicks off a new term with our new Grand Master William
Lundquist. I’m still here for another 4 years, but this time I have been able to
add on some helpers and we are forming a “Cultural Committee” to be able to keep
up with the work around our Vasa world. While still in the beginning stages of
this, I’m hoping that this new cooperation will be fruitful over the next four
years. Many of us wear many different “hats” around our districts, so this will
enable us to split up the work to make it easier and more productive. Most of it
is going to land on the Web. Due to rising costs of mailings and printing, the
web remains our best and most low cost alternative for distribution of
information, and contact between the districts. There is no limit on the amount
of material that can be posted on the web, for all cultural leaders to use. We
need to push this issue out in the districts. If we don’t start riding the wave
of the internet now, it will leave us behind and our organization will not
survive. We must be visible outwardly and find ways to attract members via the
web. When you travel around the different districts, it is striking how
different they are from one another. The web is a way to bring us together and
work on the “Unity”, an important word to remember right now. Let’s open a new
door and work together!
