31st ANNUAL GRAND SESSION OF A.M. & F.M. LODGES, INC., Miami Lakes, Fl 3


Illustrious Rafe Brown, Sr. G.M.

A.M. & F.M. Lodges Inc. Grand Master

A year has passed since we last met; however, it seems like just a few months. The economy has improved slightly. Jobs are at a standstill, crime is up and families are pushed to the limit. During times like this, it is important for us to remember, God is still blessing us. I take great pleasure in greeting and commending each of you for your strong support and continued effort to ensure that our membership and our nations are better because we exist and we care. Let us not take one moment for granted...none of us are so great that we have to exist. It is only by the Grace of God that we are here. Let us not forget we are not promised all that we may receive here on earth. If we give the best that we can give, help to the best of our ability, love others and thank God for His blessings, we shall continue to be blessed. Sincerely,

Rafe Brown Sr.

Greetings, I have had the pleasure of working closely with Mr. Young and AOAMFM.ORG over the past year. The Association of A.M. & F.M. Lodges, Inc. has been instrumental in my work within the community reaching students that are unable to afford one on one tutoring. Events like family fun day in the park promotes a nurturing atmosphere within the family, which contributes to the platform of confidence in learning and retention. I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Young and The Association of A.M. & F.M. Lodges, Inc. for the use of their resources and efforts in assisting me with my platform of educating our youth. It has been a great pleasure. Congratulations on your 31st Annual Grand Session Banquet. Keep up the good work. Sincerely,

Willie McCullough, Sr
