APPRECIATION FUND
Brother J. E. Farrelly, ROH. Immediate Past Grand Primo
Brethren,
Grand Lodge at their meeting held on the 2nd. December, 2000 at Cheltenham, unanimously decided to place on record their high appreciation of the services rendered by the retiring Grand Primo, Brother John Farrelly, ROH, during his year of office, to launch an appreciation fund and to invite all Provincial Grand Lodges, Minor Lodges and individual members to contribute.
Grand Lodge has decided to head the list with a donation of £900
In a modern, living and developing society such as ours, the work of the Order places new bounds and demands upon the time and resources of our leaders. The year 2000 coming as it does at the end of or the beginning of a new millennium has been no different. Convention for the first time met outside the shores of the United Kingdom, and this alone placed new demands on the time of the Grand Primo.

Many members who would not normally have had the opportunity to see the democratic process of the Order at work, were able to attend Convention and see for themselves how the Order is governed. This placed an enormous responsibility upon the shoulders of the President That he acquitted himself with Honour will be demonstrated by the in-flux of many new personalities at future Conventions and Grand Lodge.

The performance of the many ceremonies and duties in various parts of the world has been conducted with the dignity and ability worthy of his high position and has created a bond of friendship that is a new land-mark in the Brotherhood of Man

Our Immediate Past Grand Primo by his unfailing courtesy and charming manner, ably assisted by his partner, Monica, has won the respect and esteem of all brethren with whom they came into contact throughout their travels.

We would like all Provincial Grand Lodges, Minor Lodges and members to contribute however small, and to show their appreciation for a good and worthy Brother.

We are, Yours fraternally,

Bro. E. Herbert, R.O.H., Grand Primo.,
Bro. C. McMahon, R.O.H.. Deputy Grand Primo
Bro. W. A. C. Hartmann, R.O.H., Grand Secretary

All remittances should he made payable to R.A.O.B. G.L.E. and forwarded to the
Grand Secretary, R.A.O.B. G.L.E.
