Congratulations to the those Lodges who obtained an increase in membership from the preceding year and to the Coastal District for an overall district increase!!

The Bad news: Overall, our state LOST -477 members which now brings us down to 22030 total.  

The Good News: We're not loosing members as quickly as we have been.  In effect, the leak is slowing.  Please review the following table:

End of Year:	Total Members	Difference from Previous Year
3/2000	23,566
3/2001	22,988	-578
3/2002	22,507	-481
3/2003	22,030	-477
