I bring you greetings from the Grand Lodge of North Dakota A.F. & A.M. and am proud to say that Freemasonry is alive and doing well in North Dakota!

As Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of North Dakota A.F. & A.M. I believe that communication will be vitally important for a successful year.  To that end I would like to share may goals and objectives for 2009-2010.

	To maintain a high level of standards  relative to delivery of ritual work. To stress the need to communicate              Within each individual Lodge              From Lodge to Lodge    From Lodge to Grand Lodge              From Grand Lodge to Lodges
	To attract new candidates of exemplary character and moral qualifications.
	To Strengthen our constituent lodges through the educational process.
	To restore those brothers who have, for various reasons, chosen to not to continue their Masonic tradition.
	TO ACHIEVE POSITIVE GROWTH FOR 2009-2010!!!
