Greetings, Brother!
WM Trude has set aside the November 20 Stated Meeting to hold the election of officers to serve the Lodge for the ensuing Masonic Year. While this has been normally held in December in the past years, RWGM Larry A. Derr has required all Lodges to hold open installations of officers. As such, this required our Lodge to hold its regular elections in full form in November to prevent a prolonged December meeting.
There will be no dinner prior to the Lodge meeting, as the Consistory will be prepared for the Fall Reunion, which will be held on Nov. 21 and 22. Noteworthy is that this fall reunion will be named in honor of Illustrious Brother David J. Turner, who is a Past Master of our Lodge.
Lastly, if you have not yet paid your 2026 dues, I also attached to this email is the letter announcing that dues for 2026 may be paid now via check or through Grand Lodge website. Dues are $130 per member this year, but those who have earned their 50 year pin will have their dues remitted (forgiven) by Grand Lodge. If you have any questions, or if you are facing a financial hardship in paying your dues, please let me know. At present, of our 441 members, 228 members have paid their dues so far, and only 213 remain.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Gerald D. Feaser Jr., P.M.
Secretary
