Hello Brothers and Sisters,

Please note an important change that will be made in our District Officers Installation Program during the January Session.  

In an effort to utilize time more efficiently, the Installation Program and Banquet will both occur in the Ballroom that we usually use.  The Installation will occur at 6pm on Saturday, January 13.  As soon as the Installation has been completed, we will immediately begin the Banquet program as outlined in the Souvenir Journal that you will receive at the program.   Because of this change, you will need to present your banquet ticket in order to enter the Ballroom to attend the installation program.   Please be aware of this major change and please pass this information along to our members without internet access. 

Please let me know if you have questions related to this matter.

Fraternally,

GTP
