Brethren
As I am sure is the case with most of you, I have been saddened by our inability to meet as Masons for the past 2-1/2 months; I miss seeing the regulars and was looking forward to some of our other brethren coming to see what we had going on this year. Alas, this was not to be.
The Grand Master has now authorized lodges to open and conduct business as of June 13. I call your attention to the fact that this is permission, not a mandate. Any brother who is in any way concerned about his personal health situation should continue to stay at home until his personal guidelines have been satisfied.
The Edict granting permission to open is attached to this note. You will quickly see that "business as usual" is not the case. Please read the guidelines to be certain you understand what is allowed and expected. I will highlight some of the more pertinent rules, but please read them all:
Obviously, this is not the return to normal that we might have wished for; but these are not normal times so we must be satisfied that we can at least start the process of meeting our brethren again.
I would ask all officers to attend a practice/officers' meeting on Thursday, June 18 at 7:00p.m. We can first see if we know how to open and close a lodge
Bill McGloin, WM
