204th Annual Communication

Brethren,

Below is the agenda for our upcoming Annual Communication. While I have your attention, please permit me to provide a few reminders:

  1. Less than 1 month remains to submit Scholarship Applications. Please read the form IN FULL before submitting. It is accessible by clicking here.
  2. Unless YOU arranged for early check in with the Hotel, CHECK IN IS AT 4pm.
  3. The original invitation letter incorrectly cited Thursday as March 11 for the Secretaries Conference. It IS ON THURSDAY, as usual, which is March 10th.
  4. One man may only represent one Lodge. Please do not arrive with a representative letter for more than 1 Lodge.
  5. We will have the brand-new hard-back Ritual Reference Guide Books ($25), the 30th Edition Blue Lodge Text Books ($15), and Blue Lodge Minute Books ($60) available in single- and double-page layout. Please plan accordingly to save on shipping cost.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Jared Stanley, Grand Secretary
