Our next stated meeting will be held Saturday, April 14, 2018 at San Felipe at our usual place. Several important events will occur at this meeting. First, our District Deputy Grand Master, William "Butch" Giles will make his first official visit to our lodge during this meeting. As is usual, the DDGM will meet with the Master and Secretary one hour prior to our meeting (11 am) to review the books, audit forms, minutes and the like. At the conclusion of our meeting he will bring the report of MWGM Tommy F. Chapman.
Secondly, this is our last stated meeting before June 23rd, so it is our election meeting.
The Grand Lodge has asked lodges to review Article 276a for the additional qualifications necessary for installation as Master of the Lodge. These are paraphrased as follows: before his installation as a master or warden a brother shall "to the satisfaction of the members of his lodge" be proficient to properly open and close the various lodges according to officially recognized procedures; and he shall have completed a Grand Lodge approved course in the administration of his duties, or the L.I.F.E. program. A brother who has previously served as the master of a lodge is exempt from these additional requirements.
See you Saturday, April 14. The meeting will begin at noon so plan to be in attendance well before noon. Dress: suitable attire for the reception of the DDGM.
