November 2020

Wardens and Brethren,

          I hope this finds you and your family safe
and healthy. I apologize for the lateness of this
notice, but I was waiting for information as far as
how we will be proceeding. November’s meeting
was scheduled to be the Most Worshipful Grand
Master’s visitation to the Southern district. But due
to recent rising cases of Covid-19, our Grand
Master has closed the Temples after due
consideration of Governor Raimondo’s plea to the
State. A decision that I’m sure was not easy to
make.

          So where does this leave us for our meeting
for November? As of this writing, a decision has
not been made from Grand Lodge on the visitation.
If I were to guess, it would either be a virtual
visitation, or it will be postponed. So, at this time,
we are kind of in limbo until I hear from Grand
Lodge, which should be within the next few days,
and at that time, I’ll send out another
communication via email.

          If we do host the Grand Master, we have a
tremendous program put together by our own W:.
Joe Giancaspro, entitled “The Psychological
Significance of the Master Mason Degree” This
program and topic has already generated a lot of
buzz, and a virtual visitation will allow more
brethren to enjoy and participate in this topic.

          Again, please keep an eye out for an email
with how we will be proceeding, and I hope to see a
full lodge or computer screen in the future.

Stay safe, Stay healthy, and Stay on the Level
​
Ralph Brunson
