Greetings Brethren,
December is here already and another year is just about behind us. As the Lodge’s prepare to transfer Leadership, we should remember and appreciate the time and effort the Officers and Members who worked together this year to ensure another successful year for your Lodge. Decembers Stated Meetings will be the Open Installation of Officers and I hope that you attend to support the outgoing and incoming Officers. They work very hard for your Lodge.
This coming Saturday, December 8th, is the December Quarterly Communication of the Grand Lodge Of Pennsylvania at the Lancaster Convention Center (Marriott Hotel, center Square in Lancaster City). The Grand Lodge Procession begins at 9:45 am.
- Masters and Wardens please be in full regalia, Tuxedo / tails, white gloves, officer apron and collars.
Other officers are encouraged to do the same. Jacket and tie for members. - I would recommend that you arrive as early as possible, preferably no later than 9:15 AM.
- We do not have reserved seats, however, upon arrival. Please locate Brothers from our district so we can try to sit together.
- I will try to save seats in the North-East side of the Lodge Room (near the Secretary’s desk).
The Master Builder, Master Craftsman, and Master Pillar Awards will be presented to 18 of our Brethren in District One by the Right Worshipful Grand Master, Brother S. Eugene Herritt.
The Grand Master will also recognize the District Ritual Team of District One who finished second in the State Wide Ritual Competition.
A free lunch will be served after the Quarterly is closed, reservations are NOT necessary. We have a unique opportunity to not only have a Grand Lodge Quarterly on a Saturday, but also to have it within our District.
I had a wonderful month in November attending the Veterans Nights at the Lodges in our District. I was able to thank the Brethren and listen to many exciting stories from their experiences in the Military. The Grand Master gave me several ties to present to the WWII Veterans within our District. It was an honor to present 11 of the ties to our WWII Brothers. Thank you again to all of our Veterans who have served, those who are serving, and also for those who will serve in the future. Never Forget.
I look forward to seeing you this Saturday at the December Quarterly. Don’t forget, arrive early.
Be safe and enjoy every day,
Brother Ron
