It gives me a great pleasure to greet you for the first time from the east; I am eagerly looking forward to welcoming each and every companion to our Chapter.
At the beginning, let us rededicate ourselves to the fundamental principles of our gentle order, let us reaffirm God’s place as Supreme Ruler as the foundation on which our order rests. If we, my companions, fortified by our faith in God, can live these principals, then the future of Ottawa Chapter 222 is in safekeeping.
