WorshiPful master's june letter
Once again, I hope this letter finds you and your loved ones in good health Brother! As mentioned in previous communications, the Right Worshipful Grand Master continues to make the health and safety of our members, families, and friends a priority. As you may know or have heard many of the Counties have moved from Red to Yellow, with plans to eventually reach Green and a return to normal activities. The RWGM has established some guidelines for opening the Lodges/restarting of activities:
Red Phase:
-
Suspension of ALL Masonic events/meetings
Yellow phase:
-
Limited Masonic activity allowed after a 2-week period, NO Stated/Extra Mtgs or Degree work. o All governmental regulations must be strictly enforced.
-
Masonic buildings allowed to open and permitted to host events (ie: blood drives by Red Cross; elections; businesses permitted to be open etc.) providing all governmental restrictions and guidelines are followed.
Green phase:
-
Allowed to restart ALL Masonic activities after a 2-week period as long as all governmental regulations (if any are in place) are adhered to.
NOTE: IF AT ANY TIME A COUNTY OR REGION REVERTS BACK TO A PREVIOUS COLOR CONDITION, THEN MASONIC ACTIVITIES WILL FOLLOW SUIT IMMEDIATEL Y!
Our Lodge is in York County, which went to the Yellow Phase on Friday May 22nd Unfortunately, there will be no change in our status, and our building will continue to remain closed.
We continue to monitor the impact on our events. With that said and with great disappointment we have decided to cancel this year's car show — we look forward to having this event next year, and we are currently hopeful to hold our 3rd litter pickup and annual picnic on August 8th and 9th respectively.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to a Lodge Officer or a fellow brother. Please be safe Brother, follow the guidelines to help prevent the further spread of the virus, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Mark E. Gaines, P.M.
Worshipful Master
