Dear Worthy President,
This evening our lodge had the pleasure of giving the
check from the Grand Lodge of Florida to David Bassett for his
certification in the Italian language program. He was thrilled
and spoke about how he and his wife lived in Italy and raised
four children.
We are very proud to have him teach Italian at Osceola
High School, and look forward to seeing him attend some of our
events.
Warm regards,
Gertrude Dorries, President OSIA Osceola County Lodge 2523 gertd@embarqmail.com 321-286-6787 ******************************************* STATEMENT ON HAITI EARTHQUAKE TRAGEDY & RELIEF EFFORTS
