To my fellow Lantzmen/Lantzwomen...
---
Ten days prior
The book was opened
And at sundown tonight
The book shall begin to close
And at sundown tomorrow, the book will be closed
And it will remain closed until next year

And so it shall be written
That you all will be inscribed for a good year
A healthy year
And a prosperous year
Filled with love, peace, happiness and joy

Have an easy fast
​
