April 2023 Stated Communication

Brethren,

Thank you to everyone who was able to step up and support our Lodge during our Grand Visitation last month. The Grand Master communicated to us that he views the strength of a Lodge by that Lodge’s ability to be able to completely fill our seats during a visitation, and I’m so proud to be able to say that we filled our seats and more.

Further, we had an absolutely stunning turn out from the Grand Lodge for our visitation, and the room was as full as I’ve ever seen. I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to discuss our Lodge’s trestleboard and the work that we’re doing to build strength, unity, and fellowship for our Brethren.

A note to keep an eye out for details on the table lodge that Brother Senior Warden and the Fellowship Committee are diligently planning with Anacostia-Pentalpha Lodge No.21. The event will be sure to have excellent merriment and camaraderie, with an open invitation to candidates interested in seeking to petition.

Finally, a decision from the Grand Master has been made to clarify the appropriate dress of all Lodge officers. “Properly attired is defined as: black suit, white shirt, black shoes, black socks, and a black or Lodge tie (four-in-hand or bowtie).” If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me so we can discuss.

Sincerely and Fraternally,
WB James M. Hall
Worshipful Master
