Pete Seeger wrote a timeless and beautiful song called Turn, Turn, Turn and sung by the Byrds in the 1960s. I urge you all to google the lyrics and really listen to his message. The message of peace was very prominent in the 1960s and the 1970s, but somehow, it got diluted, and the consequences of this were not stressed enough. The last two verses tell me it is never too late for peace and calm.

A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear it’s not too late

On that note, our membership has shrunk, and our members are older and are unable to do our usual community service, fundraise, and just be available at all times. We should be proud of all the projects we worked on, our community service and for being recognized as one of the longest serving lodges in Toronto. We work hard, but the rewards are worth every moment we spent together as a team.

It is a sad time, but just focus on the friendships, joy, and laughter that we brought to each other for so many years.

Take care. It has been a great ride........
