Tonight I had a rare privilege of sitting with the Grand master MWB John C Green at the installation of officers in Almonte. The room was packed with brethren from around the district as well as the Senior Officers of Grand Lodge as they finished up the eastern leg of their Grand Lodge tour.The Installation went off very well, as expected, and W Brother Kevin Ziegler was placed in the Chair of King Solomon for the second time in his Masonic career. W Bro Ziegler and I were traveling companions in 2012-13 when he was Master of Goodwood Lodge. This was a night that many of the Brethren could actually meet many of the RW Brothers that were running for office at Grand Lodge and get to know them a little.
What I considered to be the highlight of the night was the Grand Master and I presented VW Bro Graham Hudson with his 60 year a Mason pin ans well as his 50 year a Past Master pin. These accomplishments are far and few between and I was very proud to be a part of honoring VW Brother Hudson in open Lodge.
The Festive Board was held off site at the Healey Dome, however I had to pass as I had an early morning the next day.
Congratulations to W Bro Ziegler and his team.

If you look at the current scenario in regard to the grants for small business expansion, the federal government actually offers no direct grants. There are, however, some programs by the government, through which grants for research and development activities that a small business might carry out are provided by the SBA. Then there are indirect grants in the form of small business loan guarantees as well as subsidized loans, wherein you get loans at reduced rate of interest from the bank as the government pays some part of your loan. Or if you default on your loan payment, the government pays the bank on your behalf. As you can see, there are opportunities galore for small business funding and grants through Mr Pedro and his funding company. They offer a loan at 2% rate which is very affordable. As a start-up business owner, you just have to make an effort to find the one that is most suitable for your business goals.
