Greetings My Brothers!
I am pleased to announce that our Supreme Council has recently selected a new Grand Almoner who will serve in my former capacity, Ill. Brother Alan Heath, 33°. Brother Heath is an Active Member for the state of Maine, and is looking forward to his new role as your Grand Almoner. Our Grand Almoner's Fund serves as a lifeline to our Brothers and their families who are experiencing hardship, whether it be from a natural disaster, illness, a loss of income, or some other unforeseen crisis and I know Alan will continue to handle all requests rapidly and discretely.

Our Blue Envelope appeal kicks off the month of October, and it should be arriving in your mailbox very soon. With your support we can continue the many good works of our charities.

You can visit srnmj.org/donate to make your tax-deductible Blue Envelope donation today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your contribution.

Fraternally,
Sovereign Grand Commander
Ill. Brother Peter John Samiec, 33°
