Late of happiness for Children With Cancer: The past day 24 of November the Lodge Future no. 47 accompanied by the other Lodges of the Oddfélico Building of Habana City, and of the C.h-4 District gave fulfillment to a memorable agreement of this year: To make an activity for the entered children in the room of Pediatría of the Institute of Oncología and to take gifts, treats and a recreational activity to them that made them feel happy within the own malaise of its disease. They were two hours in this center in which brothers, sisters, relatives of the small patients and the medico personnel were united as a great family and offered a little him breath, hope and happiness to those who receive the medico treatment in that room. Well by the brothers of Future no. 47 and the Lodges that supported this activity that demonstrates once again that the Independent Order of Odd Fellows can contribute like Brotherly Institution in all the good one of this world.

CARRIED OUT SESSION no. 161 OF the GREAT LODGE OF CUBA days 25 and 26 of November in the Oddfélico Building of Habana City the Representatives of the Lodges of our Jurisdiction occurred to appointment to carry out Session no. 161 of this Great Body and to treat the subjects that are incumbent on more to our Great Lodge. Agreements of importance were adopted and they publish themselves in the Brotherly Bulletin where they can be known by all, but most important it is the encounter of the brothers who coming from all the Provinces of the Country, meet every six months and share days in a frank brotherly atmosphere. In this month of November the elections of the Great Civil employees took place who will govern the destinies of this Great Lodge in the 2006 and Were installed by Great sire of the Great Lodge of Latin America Hno.

Hno. Terry
Sovereign Great Secretary
Sovereign Great Lodge I.O.O.F.

Dear brother:

Ours first letters are of a sincere and Brotherly greeting for you and all the Great Sovereigns Civil employees as well as a message of happiness by the New Year.

Hno. Terry, cheers to us in the personnel who you are the Sovereign Great Secretary because we had the possibility of knowing it in 2002 when she visited our Jurisdiction and she caused one pleasing impression to us.

Today we do this letter to him, because in the Session 159 of our Great Lodge of conducted Cuba days 26 and 27 of November, we had to know the agreement that Sovereign Great Lodge to dissolve the Committee that it had created to help to the repairs of the Lodges in Cuba. Certainly the measurement opposed us to all, nonsingle reason why it represents for our Lodges from the angle in which beneficiaries saw themselves when receiving an economic aid to improve the state of the Buildings, given the situation that we crossed years ago; what it has hurt to us more is that the work made by this Great Lodge of Cuba has been put in judgment fabric in that sense. We accepted brotherly disciplined and all the decisions of that Great Body but we considered that one was not due to judge to us and much less to condemn without before knowing for sure the facts. Our Great Lodge of Cuba and the Great Lodge of Latin America, as therefore they decided it in his respective sessions give faith, that the Cuban part at any moment acted according to the Regulation that settled down for it, and granted the aids in agreements to the received requests. All the requests of Lodges that followed the procedure established received the corresponding aid. No Lodge of our Jurisdiction has gone to the Cuban part showing to discord or displeasure, all those that went to us received the due attention and all received the benefits of this aid that you offered us, for that reason the misfortune and malaise of all the representatives of Lodges who attended this Session 159 when having knowledge of this decision of you and mainly that has badly judged the work made with as much fervor by the brothers whom they have integrated from year 1998 the Cuban Commission that took care of these subjects.

We are thankful much what the Odd Fellows of the World has done until today by the Odd Fellows Cuban and we will never forget it, we did not request and much less we demanded that it is continued helping to us, which if we requested and we demanded is that the prestige of our Great Lodge of Cuba is not always stained that from year 1925 comes directing the works from the Odd Cuban Felismo and respecting the directions that emanate here of that Superior Body, that lamentably has needed the support and aid that you have given us in these ultimos years, but that are remembered and been well sure that in Cuba, the Odd Fellows we have worked and we will continue working united by the engrandecimiento of our Order of the Three Links.

Brotherly,

Robert Martinez Alejano
Great Secretary
