Companions and Sir Knights:

I look forward to working with our new Grand Line and the District Deputies and District Instructors. We are all in this membership effort together. No one individual can build our membership. It takes everyone. We must continue to grow or we will cease to exist. During this summer, we must work diligently on our plans to recruit new members as well as ways to keep our current members. As we do this, let us discuss Part 4 of our series on how to increase activities in our YR Bodies.

Grand York Rite District 5 Meeting

Location:
Eola Masonic Lodge No. 207
3200 Grant Street
Orlando, Fl. 32856

The other night I had the opportunity to represent the M∴ E∴ Grand High Priest John F. Wermann at the Installation of Rainbow Officers at Hope Assembly No. 82 in Casselberry. This is my second visit to Hope Assembly #82, once as Worshipful Master of Sanford Lodge No. 62 and now as DDGHP for the 5th District. Each time I find these girls amazing both in their ritual and floor work. But mostly for their sincere warm and affection that they have not only for each other but toward the adults that help and attend their functions. It never escapes my mind that these young ladies are going to be the future Masonic brides and mothers of future Masons.

From Left to Right:
Jackie Postell, Faith – Rachel McClure, Recorder – Mackenzie Bridgeman, Worthy Associate Advisor – Kaylin Phelps, Worthy Advisor – John M. Bowers DDGHP District 5 – Sarah McClure, Hope – Alessandra Emard, Drill Leader – Rachel Ayala, Chaplain

On Tuesday evening, June 4, 2013 Brother Marcus A. Potrok was Raised to the Sublime Degree of Master
Mason in Callahan Lodge No. 32. Brother Potrok is scheduled to leave shortly to serve in the USAF.

UPDATE:
Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines will be raising the fee for our cruise by $250.oo, per person. Our agent convinced them not to do so until May 1st. Therefore the rates will remain the same, until that time. All is necessary is a deposit to confirm at the lower rate. Please call the number on the flyer or click on "register" This is a great price. Don’t let the date slip by. Should be a fun cruise. Remember, only one month to go at this price.

Sir Knights, Companions and Brothers,

Enclosed is a website to enable you to easily familiarize and register for the 2013 Cruise out of Cape Canaveral. It now includes a virtual tour of the ship (not the rooms), cancellation insurance costs, double occupancy and single supplement cost for each cabin category and a registration form which you can complete on site and submit by computer.

Hope to see you on board!!!

Brothers, Companions and Sir Knights,
As many of you know, John Wermann (Most Excellent Grand High Priest), Dayle Schrock (Right Illustrious Deputy Grand Master) and I will be coordinating a Fund-raising cruise 8-15 September 2013 on board the Royal Caribbean “Freedom of the Seas”. This will help to raise charitable funds for our three (3) charities (royal Arch Research, Cryptic Masons Medical Research and Holy Land Pilgrimage). The more that go, the more for our charities. You can make payments directly to Cruise Holidays, Viera, FL. Please consider this worthwhile event and we hope to see you there.
