| Kevin Ludwig, P.M. (
Chairman of District Day Lighters Lodge ) updated the members present on the
progress of the first daytime district lodge to be held on Saturday 10/11/08
at 10:00 am in the Blue Room at the Reading Masonic center. Kevin also
informed the members that a program would be presented possibly on financial planning. Each District meeting would offer an informative program and possible confer a degree. One of the Lodges in the District would act as the host Lodge beginning with Lodge No. 62 offering their Worshipful Master, Charter and all Regalia required to run a special meeting. The chairs would be filled by all Past Masters of the 7th Masonic District. After the host Master opened the District Lodge he would turn the East over to a qualified Past Master who would then run the District meeting. Bro Kevin also said they where looking at holding these meeting 3 - 4 times a year. Jay Coleman, P.M. felt the concept was great, however their wasn't enough time to promote it with the date less than 30 days away and suggested another date be considered with ample time to advertise it. After an intense discussion Bob Fentstermacher, W.M. made a motion to hold the meeting on Saturday, April 4th, 2009 at 10:00 am at the Masonic Center Reading PA. Lou Fiorini, P.M. 2nd the motion. A vote was held and unanimously approved. Motion carried. Lou Fiorini, P.M. suggested that all past masters wear their Past Masters jewel and apron to these meetings. Bro. Jim Shaw, P.M. suggested that in order to follow proper Grand Lodge protocol all Past Masters filling the chairs would be required to wear the jewel and apron of the chair they where filling. Jim Shaw, P.M. also informed the members that all those attending would be required to wear a jacket, tie and Lodge apron in other words the same dress requirements as stated or extra lodge meeting would required. Carl Binkley, P.M. suggested we come up with a specific name to call these meetings in order to promote them throughout the District. It was also suggested that initially we limit the meetings to twice a year. Everyone was in agreement. Mike Huck, P.M. informed the members that he needed Lodge Reps from Lodges 377 & 406 for the District Committee. Jay Coleman, P.M. updated the members on the possible charitable funding
programs which may be available through the Lutheran Brotherhood. |
