The District Grand Lodge of Sierra Leone and Gambia EC.

We no doubt look forward with great expectations to Year 2023 and its full pack of Masonic activities. The need for an orderly and organized program of these activities cannot be underscored. It is therefore with much delight that I want to congratulate and compliment the compilers of Memento 2023 for providing this invaluable annual planner for brethren, lodges and rulers of the craft and higher orders to guide their plans for Masonic duties and other social and work commitments during the course of the year.

This handbook is a helpful tool to all of us and is produced at unquantifiable time-cost. It is therefore recommended for individual ownership by brethren at all levels in order to exhibit our appreciation to the authors and to motivate them to continue to engage in such time consuming task.

May I take this opportunity to extend sincere thanks and appreciation to the compilers and to wish you and your respective families a joyous Christmas and a happy new year.
