“When one door closes another door opens, but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.” - Alexander Graham Bell – People are so often attached to the past, to what they are familiar with, and therefore miss opportunities that stand right in front of them. Doors may close, but there are always open doors. The doors of United National are open wide for new members and new endeavors.
It gives me great pleasure to announce that United National has expanded into the Prairie State with the addition of MW Lazerus Grand Lodge & Martha Grand Chapter.
MW Lazerus Grand Lodge and Martha Grand Chapter will be officially installed at the 2011 General Congress meeting held in Charlotte, NC. Brother Vada Owens is the Grand Master of the state of Illinois. He has three lodges currently operating under the Grand Charter, they are: New Light Lodge #3, Saint Matthew Lodge #5, and Solomon Temple Lodge #1.
Martha Grand Chapter has three chapters operating under the Grand Charter, they are: Joanna Chapter #1, Olevia Chapter #65, Adah Chapter #1, and Divine Integrity Chapter #1. The Grand Matron is Sister Ramona Smith-Battle.
They are excited to be connected with the United National family and I am assured that you will extend a hearty welcome to the members of the State of Illinois.
Sincerely,
James E. Smith
Ill. James E. Smith, 33°
The Most Puissant Sovereign Grand Commander
