New Brunswick, NJ USA - September 2, 2021: City of New Brunswick flooded after Hurricane Ida.

My Brothers,

In the aftermath of the destruction caused by Hurricane Ida, several of our Northern Masonic Jurisdiction states along the Atlantic coast have experienced significant flooding, property damage, and a growing number of fatalities. Our Grand Almoner's Fund has the available resources to help our members that are in desperate need of assistance during these difficult times.

If you know of Blue Lodge or Scottish Rite members that have been affected in your state, please contact your valley or COD secretary and they will coordinate these requests with the state Deputy. Immediate emergencies will be expedited to quickly get this much needed assistance into the hands of our members.

Our continued prayers go out to all those affected by Hurricane Ida.

Sincerely & Fraternally,

Peter J. Samiec, 33°
Sovereign Grand Commander
Northern Masonic Jurisdiction
