Dave's Place is closing.  I've lost the lease but the new management is coming.   As is the "Commuter Steakhouse", Dave's Place is moving.  As from it, it came; so to it, it will return.  I am moving it back to its original location and with its original name, Jan's Place.  Your credit is still good and, though the Chef is gone, her chief cook and bottle washer is still very much in attendance. 

Dave's Place has been able to present top shows, great special events, entertaining evenings, sojourns to the Scottish Rite and to the Circus.  I believe that we have had a successful year but nothing could have been accomplished without my associates, my team of Officers.

In Masonry, we emulate the moral values espoused in the Holy bible as a source for our ritual.  So has it been in my life.  The lessons taught me in the Holy Bible are my guide, my shield and buckler.  So may it be yours. 

I hope that the worst one may say of me is that HE TRIED.

Goody Bye and Farewell as master of your Lodge

 

David R. Patterson, Past Master
