President's Hacked Email

During the installation it was brought to our attention that we DO NOT issue Gift Cards for any reason. President Bruce D. Leffler, remarked that his email was hacked and the culprits are asking for gift cards... These misfits should know better than to request such an odd favor, as Free Masons do not play that game. EVER! We operate on a hand shake, face to face or not at all.
