Grand Master’s COVID Update

Excerpts from the Grand Master’s recent COVID Update:

As we move into a new Masonic year and the installation of new officers with all the accompanying festive celebrations, lodges all over Texas have expressed their desire to on serve meals, both in conjunction with installations and as part of their monthly stated meetings. 

We were informed ... that if Texas lodges were strictly to adhere to the Checklist for Restaurants and Checklist for Restaurant Customers below, lodges may begin preparing and serving meals in our lodges. 

I require that all lodge officers read and become knowledgeable of the guidelines. In addition, I require that the Worshipful Master of each lodge appoint an individual to be responsible for the lodge complying with ALL the items on the Checklists for the safety of everyone in attendance. I ask that all Brothers read both checklists to ensure that every requirement be followed by everyone attending a Texas lodge.

The worshipful master, Vernon Holguin pictured at left, opened the special stated meeting at 12:00 PM with eight member brothers and three visiting brothers in attendance.  It was good to see our brethren again and participate in our usual rituals honoring God, country, and Freemasonry.          (cont...)
