On behalf of the Grand Lodge of Missouri, I would like to wish each and every one of you a safe and joyful Thanksgiving season. It is my ardent hope that each of you can experience the joy and fulfillment this holiday brings and to share that joy with family and friends. This is the season for us to reflect on the past year and to be thankful for all we do have. All you need to do is look around at those who have been suffering in our brotherhood and in your community to realize how blessed most of us are. I hope you can find ways to relieve at least some of their pain and suffering by finding a way to express your thankfulness in a positive manner. May Gods grace continue to bless you. Happy Thanksgiving. – MWB Stanton T Brown II
