Grand Lodge Tour Package

Brothers near and far

The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York will meet May 4, 5 and 6 this year. Grand Lodge is where the business of Freemasonry in New York is transacted thus it is important that each lodge send someone to represent their interests.

For many years, the Oswego District has made it easier for Brothers in central New York to attend by arranging bus transportation and lodging for the event. Any Mason is welcome to take advantage of these arrangements along with wives or significant others as well. Should you be interested contact me ASAP and I will get the reservation form to you. Reservations will be on a first come, first served basis with Oswego District Brothers receiving preference until February 23. Each person reserving lodging will also get a round trip bus seat. If the bus is not filled any spare seats will be available for sale.

I have established a special email box for this event oswego.glt.2014@gawikoff.net . Sending requests or questions to that address will help separate them from all the chaff I get daily. You can also call me or send a letter. We would like to get this sewn up by April 1. To encourage promptness, a late fee will be added to the price after that date.

Something else those of you in the Oswego district should be thinking about is the man who will be your next Master. It is important that you try to get any Brother who has not previously been Master to complete The Road to the East course. The sooner you let me know, the sooner I can make arrangements.

Hope to see you soon in Lodge.
