Dear Illustrious Brother:

On behalf of the Officers and Members of the Valley of Vancouver, I extend a warm invitation to you to attend the 134th Annual Supreme Council Sessions in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Vancouver is truly an international city yet has retained that special west coast hospitality for which it is famous. For the fourth year in a row Travel Weekly has selected Vancouver as its top Canadian destination based on service excellence and I am certain that your stay here would be a 'trip to remember'!

From the beauty of the North Shore mountains and the beaches, Stanley Park, shopping on Robson-strasse, nightlife, and historical locations such as Gastown, Vancouver has it all, and we look forward to welcoming you in September.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

John Teleske
Committee Chair.
P.S. I would especially like to invite you all to come with us on the Alaska Cruise, which promises to be a great finish to a wonderful Session!
