Theos-Talk Archives (April 1996 Message tl01408)

Dear Liesel:

What each member and each Lodge has can do is something that each individual
and each lodge should ponder. What works for one lodge may not work in
another lodge.

One of the areas I personally would like to see members active in any local
activity that will help the local people.
