My Brothers,                                                                                      May 7. 2009

The Masonic Brotherhood Fund, the Grand Lodge of New Yorks biggest charitable endeavor will conclude it’s Fund Drive 2008/09 in just a few short weeks. All donations to be included into this Years Drive need to be received by me by May 25^th 2009 so I can forward them just in time before the close.

The Grand Lodge report from March 11^th shows our Lodge being the top donator within the 9^th Manhattan District. Traditionally, most Lodges donate a lot more in the last couple month to improve their numbers, so we can expect that the other lodges will try to look a lot better than they do now. Also, we currently only have participation of 35%, well shy of our 55% average over the years. Would it not be great if we could stay on the top until this Years Fund Drive is over?

During these difficult economic times our fraternities Theme of Brotherly Love, Relieve and Truth holds more than just symbolism. Our actions speak for the Masonic Brotherhood Fund, join us, make a donation today.

Fraternally,

Philipp Merker
