UNITY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Give praises and thanks to God, for this opportunity to speak to you again about unity among our Households and Lodges, throughout this Grand Old Order.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

ALL OF OUR STRENGTH IS IN OUR UNION\u00a0AND\u00a0ALL DANGER IS OUR DISCORD<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

We must be concerned for the longevity of our organization and what we as members must do to preserve our heritage and our order.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

We have given much of ourselves and worked hard to allow our organization to slowly dissipate or disappear. We must communicate with each other to stay unified for common goals.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

\u201cWORKING TOGETHER WORKS\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

In order to stay a strong organization, we must continue to unite so we can have a positive effect on as many people as possible so our children, grandchildren and communities can have a better life.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

We can unite to establish recruiting communities that will seek out new members and bring back old ones.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

We must unite a strategy that will seek to expand the knowledge of our organization.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

We must unite to establish good communication links to help others to know who we are.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

We must give them reasons to want to affiliate with our organization.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

WE MUST BE A POSITIVE\u00a0ROLE MODEL<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

However, in our quest for unity, we must never forget God and we must never forget to pray.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

In looking at the reasons we need and should unite; I\u2019m reminded of two fishermen who got trapped in a storm on a lake, one man asked the<\/span><\/strong> other \u201cshould we pray or should we row?\u201d The wise companion responded \u201clet\u2019s do both.\u201d We can keep our hopes and dreams alive and we can unite for common cause.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Let\u2019s unite together for peace and power for this GRAND OLD ORDER.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Fraternally,<\/span><\/p>
