CONCLUSION:
Some of you may not know who I am so I tell you a little about my self. I have been a member of Morris since 1984, served on our Board of Officers as a Trustee for 10 years. I was enrolled in Grand Prairie173 in 1989, District #6 Sports Chairman for 3 years. I have served as Morris Lodge Sports Chairman for the last 3 years until being recently elected Lodge Treasurer. I am also a 25 Club Member and received my Fellowship Degree in 2006.
I am looking forward to serving the Members of Grand Prairie173 as the new Secretary and know that I have some very big shoes to fill, Jim has been a great asset to our Organization in the past and I am very sure that he will continue to help us in the future.


Fraternally
Randy Ryder
