Sir Knights,

I would like to thank all the Sir Knights for having the confidence in me for electing me to the office of Eminent Commander of Olivet Commandery No. 4 for the year 2010. Your elected and appointed officers have committed to serve you in the best way possible.

Again I would request the Sir Knights who are not taking any active role in the Commandery to turn in any uniforms, swords or chapeaus to SK Jerry Favor, or any other of our SK's.

To all the new Sir Knights, I would like to welcome you to the Commandery and invite you to attend one of our meetings which are held on the 4th Thursday of each month at 7:30 PM at Eola Lodge. One of our goals this year is to increase the active members of our Commandery and we need your help to do so. We will outfit you with the Commandery coats, chapeaus, swords and sword belts at no expense to you. All you need is a pair of black shoes, pants and a white shirt and black tie. If you have any questions please call one of your fellow Sir Knights. We are all more than willing to assist you with any questions you may have concerning York Rite of the Commandery and to help you in your search for more light.

To all of this year's officers I look forward to working together with you to build our Commandery and to make it in the best we can. I know we have the support of all our Past Commanders and together we can make Olivet Commandery a source of learning and light.

Courteously,

Erik Andersen, Eminient Commander.
