“ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS” (All Sing)

PMIGM DAN CRITCHER PGC WILLIAM HU DSON

7 “The Old Rugged Cross”

And love that ole cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain

Till my trophies at last lay down; l will cling to the old rugged cross,

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, A wondrous beauty see,

Refrain

“Onward, ChrisƟan Soldiers” Onward, Chrisan soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before. Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe; Forward into bale see His banner go!

Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane, But the church of Jesus constant will remain. Gates of hell can never against that church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, and that cannot fail.

Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng; Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song. Glory, laud, and honor unto Christ the King, This through countless ages men and angles sing.

Refrain Onward, Chrisan soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before.

The Assembly began on Sunday afternoon, July 13, with the annual picnic/ cookout in the building next to the Baptist Church, under the “direction” of Robin and David Hargett (each year, they coordinate all of the planning, arrangements and purchasing of supplies).

30 Carson York Rite Library Committee Report 2015 A wonderful place to visit to see the results of past, present and recommended future efforts of Masons supporting our children. The York Rite Chapel and Carson York Rite Library located at the Masonic Home for Children at Oxford, North Carolina. A good time to visit is October at the Oxford Masonic Homecoming with children, fellowship, food and parade.

The Grand York Rite Bodies of North Carolina continue to contribute the budgeted amount of $300.00, to help support the Carson York Rite Library located in the York Rite Chapel. This just might be the year for first timers to visit and see this beautiful campus.

Your committee recommends approval of our continued support.

Fraternally submitted,

Berry Rigdon, Chairman, PGHP Charles E. Cathey, PGC Charles Sherer

PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT The York Rite depends on advertisement of fund raisers and other charitable efforts such as the Holy Land Pilgrimage for the large part of public awareness. As social media continues to expand and increase in acceptance across the various demographics of the state, the York Rite should make an effort to have a presence in the popular sites. The presence on such media sites will appeal to many ages as well as interests. Timely updates highlighting presentations, officer installation, and holiday observances should all be included to show the public the exoteric aspects of the York Rite.

Continued partnerships and projects with subordinate lodges and other masonic entities should always be publicized to heighten the public’s awareness of the York Rite.

Respectfully Submitted, James W. Howell, Chairman Thomas R. Jackson, Jr. Terry Pritt YORK RITE UNITY The three York Rite Grand presiding officers selected as their theme for 2015/2016 “York Rite: Share the Light”. Sharing the common element of all Masonic organizations unifies and strengthens those involved. As the officers traveled across the state, examples of York Rite Bodies working together as a unified group to conduct Festivals, charitable work, fund raising and observe holidays were seen repeatedly. This unity of purpose is a key factor in the growth and stability of some Bodies.

31 Perhaps the most obvious example of York Rite Unity is the Annual Great Smokies York Rite Summer Assembly. Masons from near and far come to spend time fellowshipping, sharing and making new friends in the relaxed setting of the mountains of NC. There in that casual setting, Masons involved in the Craft at every level are one big family. New members of the York Rite should be encouraged to attend.

A speaker at a recent Summer Assembly used the example of a milking stool to describe Masonry in several ways. The stool, in order to function must have the three legs held together or unified by the common top. Each leg can be slightly different in length but when joined to the top the stool remains functional.

York Rite Unity is vital to the growth, stability and overall health of every Chapter, Council and Commandery in North Carolina.

Respectfully submitted, James W. Howell, Chairman Thomas R. Jackson, Jr. Terry Pritt APPEALS & GRIEVANCES There were no Appeals or Grievances brought to the attention of this committee, so no action was taken.

Fraternally submitted Jay Callaham, Ch. Wayne Walker David Ladd TIME AND PLACE To the Presiding Grand York Rite Officers and Members of the Grand York Rite Bodies of North Carolina.

An invitation has been received from the Greensboro York Rite Bodies to host the 2016 Grand York Rite Bodies of N. C. The Convention will be held at the Embassy Suites near the airport in Greensboro, NC on March 20, 21, and 22, 2016. The room rate will be $144.00 per night. Every room is a 2-room suite and they offer a free cooked-to-order breakfast each day. There would be no additional charge for the York Rite College Breakfast (guests would pick up their free breakfast and go to a designated reserved room). Also, there would not be a need for a hospitality room.

If the arrangements work out to our satisfaction in 2016, the Greensboro Bodies also propose to have the 2017 meeting at the same location.

We have a contract for 2016 at this time but we have not paid the deposit.

The members of the Time & Place Committee have discussed this proposal and we do not have a unanimous agreement; therefore we would like for the members

32 of the Grand York Rite to discuss it at this time so a decision can be made as to whether we will have it here in 2017.

Galard Moore, Ch. Luigi Ammons Kirby Matthews

2015 Youth Committee Report The Youth Committee has been active in 2015. Wilmington is flourishing and recently initiated three boys bringing the roster to 12-13. There are 8-10 more youth waiting in the wings for initiation. Jacksonville has been active. Sir Knight James Watson has worked tirelessly to get the Cape Fear Chapter back on its feet. He continues to devote himself to seeing the chapter grow and be active. Raleigh worked hard in 2015. Fayetteville is in need of adult leadership and the York Rite brethren have been lending a helping hand.

James Steele, Ch. Nicholas Taylor Russell Rainear

Report of the Membership Committee No committee will ever solve the problem of membership in the several Yok Rite Bodies. No matter how active or inactive the Membership Committee is, they cannot affect membership. They can offer suggestions, provide wise (or unwise) counsel, develop programs, or product volumes of paperwork promoting the York Rite. But if you desire to know what can affect membership, look in the mirror. Our future membership depends on how well each of the present members promote the bodies. Until masons and the general population see York Rite Masonry affecting the lives of its members, there will be no interest in our branch of Masonry.

This year we have promoted the theme of “York Rite, Share the Light.” In every meeting, I have tried to show that we must share the light of York Rite Masonry in our lodges, in our Chapters, in our Councils, in our Commanderies, and in our communities. The light of York Rite Masonry must be visible and positive attraction in order to lure new converts. Just as moths are drawn to a light, people will be drawn to the positive light of York Rite masonry.

Throughout the year, I have found that we are “preaching to the choir.” Therefore I must recognize that the first place we must share the light is in our local bodies. We must sell York Rite to the present members so that they will be willing and ready to participate in the bodies. We need to get the rank and file members involved. We must make sure there is something for them at all York Rite meetings. Once our own members see that positive light, we can begin to address the issue of growth. So long as outsiders see a complacent and inactive organization, where is the incentive to join anything?

33 Our only cache of potential members is in the one place many are reluctant to talk about York Rite Masonry, in the local Masonic Lodges. We must be willing to go to the local Lodges and spread the news about York Rite. We must convince them that we have something for them, and not just another degree.

The tools are in place to promote growth and membership. The Strategic Plan created over the past few years is an excellent source of guidance, but I feel few of our leaders are familiar with the plan. Promoting growth requires effort. We must be willing to put forth the effort and SHARE THE LIGHT.

Thomas Jackson, GHP Chairman Membership Committee

Motion made and seconded, voted on and passed by members present.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPEALS AND GRIEVANCES During the preceding year, there were no Appeals or Grievances reported to the Committee through the Grand Secretary Recorder's office or via any individual member. Since no action was required, none was taken.

The plan we submitted in 2014 continues to be a process and will only succeed if our incoming Grand Line Officers get on board to make it a success for our York Rite.

'“No one hears the door that opens, through which they pass beyond recall; soft as loosened leaves of roses, one by one our loved ones fall.”

Dan Calvin Critcher was born in Granville County on July 12, 1942 to Walter Meadows Critcher, Sr. and Annie Leigh Eakes Critcher. He was reared on a tobacco farm in Oxford, NC and graduated from Berea High School in 1960. After high school, he continued his education in drafting and design at R.P.I. in Richmond, VA.

In 1966, Dan began his career in printing at The Chapel Hill Weekly on the advertising staff. He soon created a love inthe mechanical area of the printing trade and later transferred to Creative Printers, Inc. In 1971, he moved to Raleigh, NC, where he worked with the Graphic Press, and later at the News and Observer in the photo-engraving department. His final career move was to Litho-Industries where he stayed until retiring in 2004. After retirement, he worked part­ time for Hudson Funeral Home.

Dan married Pauline Ellis in 1981. They had three children, Dan, Jr., and Yvonne and Paula from a previous marriage. He was a member of First Freewill Baptist Church and served as a Deacon, Sunday school superintendent and a trustee. He also served as Past President of Bethesda Ruritan Club.

His Masonic career began in February of 1964 at Oxford Lodge No. 122 where he was initiated, passed and raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason. He later moved his membership to University Lodge No. 408 and served as Master in 1996 and again in 1999. He held a dual membership in Eno Lodge No.210 and was a Charter Member of Mosaic Lodge No. 762. He was also a 32° K.C.C.H. of the Raleigh Scottish Rite and a Charter Member of Amran Shrine Temple and the Oriental Band.

His York Rite career began in 1966 where he was Exalted, Greeted and Knighted in the Oxford York Rite Bodies. He later joined the Durham York Rite Bodies after moving to Durham.

In Capitular Masonry, he served as High Priest of Durham Chapter No. 48 in 1999 and received the Order of Anointed. Priesthood the same year. He was also a member of Mt Ararat Royal Arch Chapter No. 3. He served as a cast member for several years in the Anointed High Priesthood Degree.

In Cryptic Masonry, he received the Super Excellent Masters Degree in 1995 and served as Illustrious Master of Durham Council No. 7 in 1997. He received the Thrice Illustrious Master in 1997 and presided as Thrice Illustrious Master in 2004 -2005. He served in the -cast of the Thrice illustrious Master for several years.

He was also proud to be a member of Piedmont Chapter 504 National Sojourners.

Dan enjoyed Masonry and served with a labor of love. He was a devoted husband and father to his children, and never put Masonry before them. He was very dependable and always ready to do any task that was asked of him do. He is now gone to meet his destiny, and we pause to remember him, as he would pause to remember us. To have such men as Dan among us was indeed a joy, and remembering him at this special time is a privilege. We must remember that this short lifetime on earth is a precious gift. To those men like Dan who have fallen into their eternal sleep we cry “Hail and Farewell” peace be with them. They were our friends and brothers and we loved them. Gracious God, bless them, theses men who walked among us.

“So my Brother Dan, in the bright morning of the worlds resurrection, thy mortal frame now laid in the dust, shall come again unto newest of life, and expand in immortal beauty in realms beyond the skies; until then my brother, until then, farewell. Father in the gracious keeping, leave we now our brother sleeping.”

His family is from Greenville, South Carolina where Bill was born, but spent his early life in Gastonia, North Carolina where he graduated from Ashley High School in 1961.

Report of the Grand High Priest Officers, Brothers, Companions, Sir Knights and Distinguished Guests, I am pleased to welcome you to the one hundred ninety fourth convocation of the Grand Chapter of North Carolina, Royal Arch Masons.

Over the past two decades I have been privileged to serve in several leadership roles in several organizations, both on the local, state, and national level. I really don’t know how or why I was so honored, but I know it would not have been possible without an outstanding supporting cast. Instrumental in all of this is one constant, a loving and supportive wife. She has been my confidant, my social secretary, my critic, and my strength. Without her, no of this would have been possible. Thank you, Patsy, and I always love you.

My family has sacrificed so much for my successes. I have missed many games, recitals, and programs by my children and grandchildren in order to serve these organizations. One of their favorite games seemed to be “Where are Granny and Granddaddy this week,” but they seemed to understand and were also supportive of what I was doing. It has all been worth it because the friendships and connections I have developed are life changing. This year as Grand High Priest has been the highlight of my Masonic Life. There are many York Rite Brothers that I feel I must mention as they have made such an impact on my masonic life. The first is my father. He signed my petition,

51 coached me through my masonic degrees, taught me all I needed to know to earn a certified lecturer certificate, and lead me to the York Rite Bodies. The second was a fifty year secretary of my Lodge, Elwin Watson. He taught me never to refuse any honor I was offered no matter how much work was involved. This was a lesson learned the hard way because it took 12 years for the position he offered to be offered again. The first person I met as a new member of the York Rite became a mentor to me and a man I admired greatly. This was W. Fred Scott, a Past Illustrious Grand Master. All three of these men have met the Supreme Architect of the Universe and are greatly missed in my life. Ray Casey, Past Grand High Priest, has become an important person to my achievements as a mentor and confidant. He has provided invaluable counsel and advice, as well as keeping me on track in all my responsibilities. Thank you Ray. I don’t think Wayne Walker and Fred Whitty knows how important their friendship, advice, and help has been to me and Andy Adams will always be a close friend. I would be remiss if I failed led to mention two companions with whom I have had the privilege to work this year, James Howell, Illustrious Grand Master, and Terry Pritt, Grand Commander. We didn’t start these lines together, but fate brought together. They have been so easy to work with and I couldn’t have hoped for better men to share this year. There are innumerable others to whom I am I am indebted for their impact and I couldn’t begin to name them all. No one can reach this position without help and I want to thank all the companions that have supported me.

APPOINTMENTS I was pleased to appoint three Grand Officers for the Grand Chapter. As Grand Chaplain I appointed Joe Wesley Baker, a member of the Goldsboro Bodies. As Grand Sentinel I appointed Alex Ellis of the Wilson Bodies. As Grand Lecturer I was pleased that Wayne Walker accepted the responsibility of serving in that capacity. Each of these me have been faithful to the York Rite and were deserving of these honors. I was also pleased to appoint the following District Deputy High Priests: District 1, Andrew Hampton; District 2, Bobby Joe Kitchen; District 3, Edward Allen; District 4, John Mallard; District 5, Luigi Ammons; District 6, Michael Daniels; District 7, Ron Whitener; District 8, Jeffery Main; and District 9, Derek Cheek. The following men agreed to serve as District Deputy Grand Lecturers: : District 1, Larry Newell; District 2, Sean Hughes; District 3, Alex Ellis; District 4, Dan Critcher; District 5, Ludwig Wodka; District 6: Larry Aydelett; District 7, John Walston, Jr.; District 8, Wayne Walker; and District 9, David Cashion. I want to thank each of these men for accepting these positions. Often times this is a thankless and underappreciated job and the brothers have be exemplary leaders. Thank you all for your service. We were all sorry to lose Brother Dan Critcher. His loss to these Bodies is profound.

HONORARY MEMBERSHIPS I was both surprised and pleased to receive honorary memberships from the following bodies:

Malta Commandery No. 9 Solomon Council No. 24

52 Monroe Chapter No. 64 Greensboro York Rite Masonic Bodies New Bern Chapter No. 46 New Bern Council No. 12 St. John’s Commandery No. 10 Cyrene Commandery No. 5 Asheville Chapter No. 25 Ionic Council No. 9

GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN ASSEMBLY The Great Smoky Mountain Assembly was one of the highlights of the year. I want to thnk Brother Mac Sigmon for stepping in on short notice and giving a wonderful address at the Mason Marker. PGM Lewis Ledford was scheduled for this task, but the duties of work called him away at the last moment. Mac did an outstanding job with such a short time to prepare. I also want to thank Brother Phil Presley for moderating the session and Brother Pete Cook for handling and coordinating the introductions. You both did an outstanding job. All the speakers had excellent messages and all who missed this event missed one of the best and most enjoyable Masonic Events of the year. I was honored at this assembly to receive the “Order of the Black Llama,” a degree presented the Grand York Rite of Tennessee. I also received the “Order of the Black Tie,” a purely social order held in a Mexican restaurant. Both of these are fun degrees with few Masonic lessons but great social and fraternal value.

AREA MEETINGS This year we held 6 Area Meetings in Elizabeth City, Waynesville, New Bern, Raleigh, Charlotte, and Hickory. While I thought most were fairly well attended and the participants were attentive and receptive, I wished we could get more of the rank and file members at these meetings. I often thought I was “preaching to the choir” and the congregation was missing. I want to thank all who attended and hope that you received something of value. The schools of instruction held after the meeting were helpful to the attendees and many questions were answered and ritual was clarified. I thought we, as Grand Presiding Officer, could have done a better job in organizing and preparing for these schools and I hope next year’s schools will be an improvement. I really think these schools are a necessary part of ritual preparation.

DECISIONS AND DISPENSATIONS A letter was composed concerning a personal issue, but this problem was resolved before any further action was necessary I was informed that the results of a legal election was changed after the election was completed and incorrect officers were installed. I investigated and discovered that the change in the election results was after the specified time for the election of officers and, therefore, constituted an out of time election without dispensation and was illegal. A request for a dispensation for a new election was denied. I ordered that the Installation of Officers be set aside and the properly elected officers be installed at the first available time. This order was obeyed and the correct officers are now serving.

53 THEME FOR THE YEAR Our theme for this year was “York Rite – Share the Light.” Throughout the year we encouraged all York Rite member to share the light of Masonry and the York Rite in their Lodges, Chapters, Councils, Commanderies, and in their communities. We have kept Masonic ideas in the dark and behind closed doors far too long. If we expect masonry and the York Rite to grow, we must SHARE THE LIGHT at every opportunity, in every venue, and through all our lives. I thought this theme was well received everywhere is was presented. Light has always been a symbol of knowledge and learning. Light is also a symbol of Jesus Christ. As Christian Masons, we have a great responsibility to share all the light with everyone we meet.

REFLECTIONS, SUCCESSES, AND DISAPPOINTMENTS I was pleasantly surprised to receive the York Rite Grand Cross of Honor with One Quadrant at the York Rite Honors Days in Lenoir. I am very proud of the award and proud that it was presented by the Grand Registrar General, D. Allen Surratt.

As I reflect on this year, I am not sure I did the best job I could. This year came sooner that I had planned and seemed to be here before I was ready. I don’t think I would have survived without the wise counsel of Allen Surratt. I have his number on speed dial and I’m sure he got tired of hearing my voice. I was torn between two jobs for over half my year and had to juggle my schedules and my time to serve two masters. Fortunately, one was winding down as I started this job. I am looking forward to a little down time after this year’s annual assembly, but I would not trade the experience, the friendships, or the enjoyment of this year for anything, well, almost anything. I hope that I have built a few bridges and made some difference for the York Rite of Freemasonry this year. Thank you for your help and support.

Thomas R. Jackson, Jr. Grand High Priest Board of General Purposes The Board of General Purposes has reviewed the report of M.E. Companion Thomas R. Jackson, Jr. with careful consideration given to each section of the report. We commend him or, a job well done. He was involved throughout the entire year. We have reviewed all appointments and they are all in good order. He issued one decision which were well within his authority. We also commend him on his efforts on behalf of RARA.

The schedule of his visits is outstanding, showing great interest in his job.

ROYAL ARCH RESEARCH ASSISTANCE FUND

TO: THE GRAND CHAPTER OF ROYAL ARCH MASONS OF NORTH CAROLINA

Companions, during the year 2015, your generous contributions to this important and worthwhile charity is greatly appreciated. From January 1, 201 5 to December 31, 2015, we have contributed to the regular fund in the amount of $2,658.55 and to the memorial fund in the amount of $220.00 for a Grand Total of $2,858.55.

A total of $194,375.18 in regular contributions and $21,067.01 in memorial contributions for the Grand Total of $215,802.19 through December 31, 2015 has been contributed to this fund from the State of North Carolina since its inception.

We have approximately (7) chapters that received the 100% Certificates for making at least a $1.00 donation per member. My sincere thanks to these chapters. May I remind each of you that an individual contribution is credited to your chapter as well as yourself. Therefore, if you make a contribution of $1.00, your chapter is credited as well.

At our Annual Meeting each year we will present to the York Rite Body that gives the largest contribution to Royal Arch Research Assistance Fund “The W. CARROLL SANFORD AWARD” in his memory. The Winner of this award for the year 2015 was the Raleigh York Rite Bodies of Raleigh, North Carolina. Would someone from that chapter please come to the podium to receive that award. In the future, I would like for each secretary to send their donation in to RARA prior to December 10th of that year so they can get credit for that year.

Your committee would like to congratulate each chapter that contributed to The Royal Arch Research Assistance Fund. Many thanks to those who helped in different ways to make this project a success. It has been a pleasure to have the opportunity to serve as your Royal Arch Research Assistance Fund Committee this past year - working for those less fortunate than most of us.

123 Report of the Most Illustrious Grand Master To the officers, members and guests of the Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters in North Carolina, I want to welcome you to the 139th Annual Grand Session in Greensboro, NC. On behalf of the grand officers I extend a welcome to all of our out of state visitors from other jurisdictions. It is indeed an honor to be at this York Rite event and be in the company of so many masonic leaders. Serving the North Carolina York Rite as Most Illustrious Grand Master during 2015/2016 has been an honor and a privilege that I will always remember. As I and other grand line officers attended York Rite events across North Carolina, we were received with the utmost courtesies and shown true hospitality. I thank all the Companions and Sir Knights in this great state for making us feel so welcome. The theme used for the 2015/2016 year for the NC Grand York Rite was “York Rite: Share the Light” . As this theme was discussed at the meetings across the state, I could not help but think time and time again about the York Rite leaders that had served and are serving today. The Past Most Illustrious Grand Masters, current Grand line officers, district officers and committee members are shining examples of brethren “sharing the York Rite Light” by their words and actions. The many good things that happen in the York Rite do not happen by chance. Companions being willing to take the time, make the trip and make the effort to “share the Light” with others to make the good things happen. We had an excellent opportunity to share the Light this past July in Maggie Valley for the 78th Great Smokies Summer Assembly of York Rite Masons. The speak- ers were inspiring as they shared their Light with those in attendance about many masonic topics and experiences. They caused us to think and reflect about the treasures that York Rite and Symbolic Masonry offer and encouraged us to share with others. Special thanks go to the committees and Companions that work throughout the year to make Summer Assembly an event that York Rite Masons from near and far enjoy. The picnic coordinated by David and Robin Hargett, the Masonic Marker Address by Companion Mack Sigmon, the many hours of fel- lowship and other traditions truly made the Summer Assembly an example of York Rite Masons sharing the Light. Broken Triangle We were saddened by the loss of James E. Reddish, P.M.I.G.M. (2002/2003) and Dan C. Critcher, P.M.I.G.M. (2005/2006) during the past year. Both Companions served as Most Illustrious Grand Masters of the Grand Council of Royal and Se- lect Masters in North Carolina and we all have benefited from the contributions they made to the York Rite. We mourn the loss of these two leaders and of every departed Companion during the past year and our sympathy to the families that are coping with the loss of their loved ones. Dispensations Gastonia York Rite Bodies were issued a dispensation to move a Stated Commu- nication date.

124 Appointments It was my privilege and pleasure to appoint the following companions to serve in the Grand Council Line for 2015/2016 to assist in the work.

Grand Chaplain: Craig J. Horton Grand Sentinel: Victor A. Willis Grand Lecturer: John M. Walston, Jr.

The following were appointed as District Masters and District Lecturers:

District District Master District Lecturer 1 Paul E.Miller, Jr. Forrest R. Pugh 2 Isaac B. Eddins Douglas L. Soltow 3 Ben J. Bulluck, Jr. 4 Dan C. Critcher Russell M. Rainear 5 Andrew O. Drenkhahn J. Luigi Ammons 6 Kevin P. Wood Jeffery E. York 7 W. Eric Dixon James W. Howell 8 Jeffery L. Main Russell E. Bridges 9 J. David Cashion Hugh K. Terrell

I appreciate those Companions for accepting the appointments and for their as- sistance this past year to “Share the York Rite Light”. State of the Craft The York Rite as a whole in North Carolina is still dealing with the decline in membership on the local and state level. The decline in membership has created a ripple effect that in turn influences many of the elements of a functional York Rite Chapter, Council and Commandery. There is a mix of York Rite Bodies in the state that have adjusted to the decline and those that have not. Because of the membership decline, many Bodies have seen the proficiency of the degree teams degrade; the available members able and willing to confer the degrees and orders decrease and the ability to conduct a festival disappear. Much discussion has oc- curred in the Masonic fraternity concerning how to cope with the decline and what the newer members are looking for when they join. The York Rite must provide value for the investment a new member makes and is willing to make in time and money. When you look at the active Bodies that are adjusting to the new membership levels you see many new faces in leadership roles and hear of some of the tradi- tions that faded in the recent past being restored again. You feel the enthusiasm to learn the ritual while at the same time understanding the deeper meaning. The active members are willing to take ownership and try different ways of doing ac- tivities that they have observed other places or have read about. They want to hear about how things were done in the past, and are willing to combine the old and new to achieve results they seek.

125 The Bodies that are still seeking to deal with the issues that the decline in mem- bership causes must be helped in order to remain active. Some have lost so many key members and leaders that those left are seeking guidance on matters that seem basic to many. Companions from neighboring Bodies have volunteered to assist in providing the support these struggling Bodies need. The Strategic Plan is one tool that is available to Bodies to use to pinpoint an area to focus on to pro- vide the value the membership seeks. One success will lead to another. I have observed members of stronger York Rite Bodies helping those struggling to con- fer degrees. York Rite Bodies across North Carolina are joining together to hold festivals and confer rituals. This is a positive sign, that the desire to do good work is still alive and its importance recognized by York Rite members. The combined efforts of multiple Bodies to host events and festivals best utilize the talents, lead- ership qualities and resources for the York Rite. The deep rich heritage of York Rite masonry in North Carolina is something to be proud of and is the founda- tion for many of the successes this year. The emerging leaders in the York Rite have many talents and ideas that will enrich the fraternity in the coming years. Recommendations I recommend the following:

1. Conduct study of current District structure and boundaries to determine if con- solidation would result in a better grouping of York Rite Bodies.

2. Encourage Regional festivals and meetings to improve quality of rituals and related instruction. 3. Continue to use the Strategic Plan to develop short term as well as long term goals that are reviewed annually. 4. Continue to update documents, forms and systems to make use of available technology. Appreciation and Conclusion I would like to thank each and every Companion of this Grand Council for the privilege of serving in the Grand Line. This year has been one I will remember for years to come. As I reflect on the past year, I realize just how blessed I am to have had the opportunity to meet so many men and women that have shared their Light with me. There are many Companions and Brethren that I am grateful to for taking the time to teach, coach, and guide me along my Masonic and York Rite journey. Early in my York Rite journey, I met two Companions that really took me under their wing and shared so much with me. When I had questions, they did not al- ways give me the answers, but usually pointed me in the direction so I could find it myself. They taught me to think about the deeper meaning of the York Rite and how to share it with others. Those two Companions were David L. Hargett and

126 the late Marshall Dilling. David, thank you so much for helping me grow as a York Rite Mason and for everything you have done and continue to do for the Masonic Fraternity and especially the York Rite. Special thanks to the members of the Gastonia York Rite for the support and understanding through the last year. I also thank the Monroe, Raleigh, Greensbo- ro and New Bern York Rite Bodies for the honorary memberships you presented me. To M.E. Thomas R. Jackson, Jr., Grand High Priest and S.K. Terry Pritt, Grand Commander, thank you for working with me, listening to me, tolerating me and being my friend as we worked together this year for the North Carolina York Rite. These men truly share the York Rite Light in so many ways. I am honored to have served with them. Thanks are also extended to the other members of the Grand Council Line. Thank you for your support, time and taking the time to travel across North Car- olina to represent the Grand Council. With your future leadership, we can expect the good things to continue. To those appointed, thank you for your willingness to serve. My sincere gratitude is extended to the appointed District Masters and Lecturers. Thank you for your dedication to the York Rite and your efforts to assure the rituals are meaningful and meetings conducted properly. I owe special thanks to Victor (Vick) A. Willis who served as Grand Sentinel this past year. Vick is always there when I need a sounding board, have a question, or just want to talk about anything, especially Masonry. He is always willing to help and has been a role model for many Masonic brethren. I am so fortunate to have two very special ladies in my life. My wife Emily and my niece Miss Emily deserve thanks that words can hardly express. The support, understanding, and patience they have given and shown me this year as I served as Most Illustrious Grand Master has been more than I deserved. Thank you both for the love expressed in so many ways this year. Again, thanks go to everyone that worked to Share the Light this year. We are blessed to be York Rite Masons and also blessed to live in the United States of America where we are free to enjoy the many liberties and freedoms. Respectfully, James Wesley Howell Most Illustrious Grand Master 2015/2016

COMMITTEE ON DOINGS OF GRAND OFFICERS 2015-2016

To the officers and members of the Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters in North Carolina:

The Committee on Doings of the Grand Officers in compliance with the provisions of the Constitution, has reviewed and carefully considered the report of the Most Illustrious Grand Master, James W. Howell, in all of its details and submit the following report:

131 We complement Most Illustrious Grand Master, James W. Howell, for his dedication and performance to the Cryptic Rite during his term of office. We commend him for his support of Masonry and for his many visits during the past year within our jurisdiction, and for his travels to other Grand Jurisdictions. His zeal and fidelity has brought the highest admiration of Cryptic Masonry to our beloved state. The Most Illustrious Grand Master has performed the duties of his office with proficiency and maintained the dignity of the Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters.

The Committee also congratulates and thanks all the line officers of the Grand Council for their cooperation with our Most Illustrious Grand Master and with each other as they promoted the spirit of York Rite Masonry.

The Committee Recommends:

1. That all parts of the Grand Master’s report that relates to decisions, orders, appointments, and other legal matters be referred to the Committee on Cryptic Jurisprudence. 2. That the portions relative to matters of finance be referred to the Committee of Finance. That all other matters be assigned without further specific reference to the Boards, Committees, or persons which should properly consider them.

Respectfully submitted:

J. Luigi Ammons, P.M.I.G.M., Chairman Ralph V. Shipton, P.M.I.G.M.

A meeting of the Jurisprudence Committee was held in November of 2015 to approve the actions of the Most Illustrious Grand Master in reference to an un- Masonic conduct offence. The committee reviewed all the evidence and found the actions of the Most Illustrious Grand Master were acceptable to the offence.

The Committee finds that the appointments, commission, actions and decisions made by the Most Illustrious Grand Master are in compliance with Cryptic Law, and recommends that each of his official acts be approved. We refer his recommendations to the proper committees for their consideration. Recommendations requiring action by the Jurisprudence Committee are acknowledged. I move the adoption of this report.

J. Luigi Ammons, P.M.I.G.M., Chairman

141 BOARD OF CRYPTIC LECTURESHIP Minutes of March 20, 2016

A meeting of the Board of Cryptic Lectureship was held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Greensboro on March 20, 2016, at 1:20 PM with the following members present: Members Present: Douglas S. Moore, Chairman; J. Luigi Ammons, Secretary; and John Walston, Jr., Grand Lecturer. Absent: D. Allen Surratt (excused) Visitors: M\I\G\M\ James Howell and Andy Adams

The meeting was opened with prayer by Luigi Ammons. Brother Doug Moore welcomed everyone to the meeting and thanked them for their attendance. A motion was made and seconded to dispense with the reading of the minutes from the last meeting since they were previously approved and printed in the proceedings. The motion unanimously passed.

Brother Doug Moore stated that the organization of the Board was the first item on the agenda. Brothers Douglas Moore and Luigi Ammons were re-elected for 2016/17 to serve as Chairman and Secretary. The Chairman stated that the resignation of Brother Doug Soltow has created one vacancy on the Board and asked for nominations for his replacement. A motion was made and seconded to elect Brother John Walston, Jr. to serve a five year term on the Board expiring in 2021. The motion unanimously passed.

The Chairman asked for any old or new business. Under old business, the secretary stated that two lecturers had not re-certified. Brothers John D. Hood cannot be contacted and was due for re-examination in 2013. Brother Matthew Neely’s certification expired in 2014. After discussion, the Board’s decision was to drop Brother Hood and try to contact Brother Neely on his delinquent examination. Under new business, the Grand Lecturer stated that the work was in fair to poor condition across the state. He stated that schools of instruction have been poorly attended for the past several years. The Bodies are declaring the meetings open with no opening ritual and are not able to hold festivals on their own. They are sending their candidates to other Bodies to do the work. He stated that MUCH work needs to done to help the troubled Bodies with the ritual.

After a short discussion with much concern about the “TBA” District Masters and Lectures, they were approved on the condition that the TBA spaces be filled as soon as possible and reported to the Board of Lectureship for its approval. It was recommended for future appointments that ALL District Masters and Lecturers be personally contacted as to their willingness to serve and not just reappointed without being asked, and reminded that all District Lecturers must be certified in the work of the Council. The Board voted to accept the incoming Most Illustrious Grand Master’s recommendation of John Walston, Jr. for Grand Lecturer for the ensuing year.

Those District Masters and Lecturers approved are:

142 DISTRICT MASTERS DISTRICT LECTURERS

1. Paul Miller TBA 2. Steve Bland Warren Taylor 3. Ben J. Bulluck, Jr. TBA 4. TBA Russell Rainear 5. Robert Ferguson J. Luigi Ammons 6. Kevin Wood Russell Bridges 7. TBA James Howell 8. TBA Tom Bridges 9. J. David Cashion Hugh K. Terrell, Jr. The Most Illustrious Grand Master, James Howell, thanked the Board for their support during the past year, and thanked his District Officers for the hard work they have done throughout his year.

There being no further business to come before the Board of Lectureship, a motion was made by Brother John Walston, Jr. to approve the minutes as they will be recorded by the secretary. The motion was seconded by Brother Doug

Moore and the motion unanimously passed. The meeting was adjourned until the next called meeting. The Chairman asked Brother Luigi Ammons to dismiss the meeting with prayer.

Respectfully submitted,

Douglas S. Moore, Chairman J. Luigi Ammons, Secretary

GRAND LECTURER - (2016) John Walston, Jr.

144 Grand Lecturer of Grand Council Report

To the Grand Master and Board of Lectureship,

I have had the opportunity to review a large number of Councils in the jurisdiction in regards to their proficiency in conferral of the Degrees and can report the following.

The overall condition of the Councils in North Carolina is fair. Ritualistic work for the opening and closing of Councils continues to be poor or nonexistent in some Councils and many Councils are content to simply read the officer parts. Conferral of the Degrees has shown some improvement over last year. There are about eighteen members who are certified in the ritual but I cannot ascertain if they are active in Degree conferral. The majority of constituent Councils are arranged to meet in District sessions for courtesy conferral work.

Improvements have been noted in several of the Councils, but there is a continued need for more Companions to take an active part in the work.

I have also been trying to solicit several of the stronger and more active Councils to make an effort to confer the Degree of Super Excellent Master. It is hoped that this endeavor will result in more members of the Council being able to enjoy this Degree.

It has been an honor to serve the Grand Master this year, and I hope to be of service to the Grand Council in the future.

Fraternally, John M. Walston, Jr.

Companions and Sir Knights:

It's an honor to address you as the Grand Commander of the 135th Grand Conclave of the Grand Commandery of North Carolina Knights Templar. I want to thank everyone in attendance. We are here to “Share the Light” with the officers, members, and distinguished guests of the North Carolina Grand York Rite. A special thanks to all Grand Lodge and Grand Encampment officers, Grand Master, Bryant Webster, Jeffrey Nelson Deputy Grand Master, Tom Jackson Grand High Priest, and James Howell Most Illustrious Grand Master. I could not have handpicked better Masons to have served with, thank you. I would also like o thank my wonderful, loving daughter Ashley, without her love, help, understanding and support I don’t think I would have it through the year. My love for her is unwavering. I also want to thank the Monroe York Rite bodies for their support.

My travels across the state of North Carolina to other Grand York Rite Sessions, Grand Assemblies of the Rainbow Girls in both North Carolina and Virginia, were all unforgettable experiences. I was well received everywhere I went. I would also like to give a special thank you to most Worshipful Doug Caudle, Past Grand Master of North Carolina. I was treated like royalty as his guest at our Grand Lodge Communication.

We had 6 district meetings starting May 9th hosted by Charlotte, May 30th hosted by New Bern, June 20th hosted by Hickory, July 18th hosted by Elizabeth City, July 11th hosted by Waynesville, and August 15th hosted by Raleigh. I want to thank all the bodies who hosted a district meeting. I am pleased that we increased our donation to the Eye Foundation by just under $3 per member, which puts us at over $9 per member. We also sponsored Leigh Jones Bortoli of Shady Grove United Methodist Church of Winston Salem, NC. I was also fortunate enough to have the opportunity to present $120,000 in grants, $60,ooo each to Dr. Lobonova and Dr. El-Dairi of Duke University Eye Center.

Summer Assembly was a huge success as usual. Good speaker, food and wonderful fellowship. Thank you to David and Robin Hargett for all the hard work they have put into this event year after year. It has into an event that draws participation from around the world because of David and Robins hard work and dedication. It is a diamond in the North Carolina Masonic Crown.

Through my travels I’ve seen that some bodies are doing much better than others. I don’t think pulling the charters of poor performing bodies is the answer. I would like to see us try drawing new district lines and I encourage everyone to visit struggling bodies as often as possible to “Share the Light”.

This past year has been an extraordinary one for me. I sincerely thank all of you for your ongoing participation and support in such a wonderful journey.

197 Appointments made were: Ray Casey-Grand Prelate Russell Bridges-Grand Sentinel John Walston Jr.-Chief Instructor Inspector Phil Presley-Chairman: Holy Land Pilgrimage Fred Whitty-Chairman: Knights Templar Eye Foundation Ludwik Wodka-Editor: North Carolina Supplement for the Knight Templar Mag- azine Don Wooster-Chairman: Huntley Speidel Award

I thank everyone who accepted appointments as District Commanders and Dis- trict Instructors.

Dispensation was granted to Wilmington bodies to march in the Wilmington Christmas Parade. Dispensation was granted to the Raleigh bodies to lay a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Dispensation was granted to New Bern to wear the Templar Dress Uniform at an outdoor Third Degrees held by Cherry Point Lodge #688 being held at For Macon State Park. The Sir Knights acted as Tylers and Guards. A proposed change to the by-laws of Ivanhoe Commandery no. 8 was approved.

Dispensation was granted that annual election of officers shall be at the first stat- ed conclave in December.

Dispensation was granted that the initiation fee for the orders shall be $75.00 for High Point Commandery #24 Knights Templar

Dispensation was granted that the initiation fee for the orders shall be $40.00 for Charlotte Commandery #2

Sir Knights it is very important to support our charities. Sir Knight Fred Whitty implemented a program entitled “Pay it Forward” which recommends that any- body who has 100% life sponsors can still donate money and pay it forward to a commandery that is not at 100% and then that commandery can pay it forward to another. Also, the Holy Land Pilgrimage is a great public relations tool. Dona- tions to both the Holy Land Pilgrimage and the Eye Foundation should be a line item in every York Rite budget in the state. I want to thank everyone for all the hard work and support to both our Grand Commandery Charities. I want to send a special thank you to REGC Gary Sowell of South Carolina who I had the pleas- ure of sharing general events with including laying a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Easter Sunday. I want to thank all Sir Knights who marched up Shooters Hill at sunrise to attend the Easter sunrise service. There was a total of 19 Sir Knights from North Carolina. I also want to thank all Sir Knights who participated in the homecoming parade in Oxford for the Masonic Home for Children home coming.

206 Chief Inspector-Instructor Report To the Grand Commander,

I have had the opportunity to review District Instructors’ reports for the majority of Commanderies in the jurisdiction in regards to their proficiency in conferral of the Orders and asylum tactics and can report the following.

The overall condition of the Order in North Carolina remains fair. Unfortunately, ritualistic work continues to be poor or nonexistent in some Commanderies, with officers content to simply read their parts, or just declaring the Commandery open in short form. There are approximately a dozen Knights who are proficient in the ritual and tactics and can confer the Order of the Temple properly. The majority of constituent Commanderies have arranged to meet in District sessions for courtesy conferral work, which places the burden of the conferral ceremonies on a handful of Knights. This has also led to a mindset of laxity in ritualistic work, with the concept that these District conferrals alleviate the individual Commanderies of putting together a cast for conferrals. A number of Commanderies have also started conferring the Orders on their stated meeting nights.

Schools of the Knight were held at the three Divisional meetings this year. Attendance was low, and for the most part attended by the people. Basic asylum work and drill were conducted and questions answered regarding the conferral of Orders. Emphasis was placed on proper movements during opening and closing of the Asylum, and on movements during conferral of the Order of the Temple. It is the opinion of the Chief Instructor-Inspector that this policy of combining Schools of the Knight with District meetings be stopped, and a new program combining tactics, ritual, and leadership be studied and implemented.

Improvements have also been noted in the administration of the Divisional Inspector staff. I received comprehensive reports this year from the Divisional Inspectors of the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th Districts. The reports gave detailed information on the ritualistic work and tactics of their respective Commanderies. The work of Sir Knights Ludwik Wodka, Russell Rainear, David Ladd and David Cashion was outstanding in these regards, and I wish to personally congratulate them on the execution of their duties.

Recommendations and goals that have been set for next year include completion of a revision of the certification requirements for Certified Instructors, more integration of the District Inspectors with Commandery Directors of the Work in local Commanderies, and continued push for the certification of all Grand Commandery Officers. There will also be an effort to make quarterly inspection reports on work being done in each Division.

It has been an honor to serve the Grand Commander this year, and I hope to be of service to the Order in the future.

Courteously, John M. Walston, Jr.

207 Templar Uniform Committee

To the Grand Commander,

The Committee on Uniforms reports that it has continued to review any changes enacted by Grand Encampment in regards to the Knight Templar uniform and finds that such changes do not impact or affect the current uniform section of the Grand Commandery’s By-laws. The Committee on Uniforms will continue to monitor changes to the Grand Encampment Laws and will immediately notify the Grand Commander and Grand Recorder if there are discrepancies in the Grand Commandery’s By-laws.

The Committee on Uniforms had the following question brought before it for its opinion this year:

Authority and type of flag patch to be worn on the dress uniform. What is the “proper” flag patch authorized. The Committee on Uniforms, after consultation of the Constitution, Laws and Edicts of the Grand Encampment and the By-laws and Constitution of the Grand Commandery of North Carolina put forth this opinion:

Opinion of Authorization and type of flag patch to be worn on the dress uniform:

The following statement comes directly from the regulations as issued in the Statutes and By-Laws of the Grand Commander of Knights Templar of North Carolina Sec. 11-08. – Badges (patches) are authorized on the Templar Uniform as specified in Section 11-08. Sec. 11-08.01 – A badge depicting the flag of North Carolina shall be worn centered on the left sleeve two inches below the shoulder seam.

A picture of a sample flag available from the Grand Recorder was shown in the Statutes was shown as an example. The question as to “proper” is somewhat open-ended, as the flag shown was the style in quantity for sale at the time from the Grand Recorder’s office. As the question seems to be a matter of importance in regards to uniformity concerning Plantangenet Commandery’s drill team, it is the opinion that they adopt a patch similar as depicted in the Statutes and adjust their uniforms accordingly.

The Committee on Uniforms welcomes the question on uniforms from the members of the Commanderies and from the Grand Commandery and hopes that such answers will assist in being properly attired for Knight Templar functions.

Submitted for the Grand Commandery. Courteously, John M. Walston, Jr., Chairman Gene Llewelyn Dennis K. Mikeal

208 Holy Land Pilgrimage Report

The Committee wishes to report that the Grand Commandery of North Carolina, in cooperation with the Grand Encampment of the United States of America, was privileged to sponsor one (1) minister for the Pilgrimage in February 2016.

This year, we were privileged to sponsor the Rev. Leigh Jones Bartoli of Thomasville, North Carolina, minister at Shady Grove United Methodist Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She is married and the mother of two children: a daughter, Andrea and a son, Jay. She hopes this experience will aid her in teaching children, youth and adults in her ministry. She completed her education at Slippery Rock University with a BA & MA in education and Hood Theological Seminary with a BTS.

We wish to congratulate the Grand Commandery Officers for their dedication and resolve this year to raise the necessary funds to Enable the Grand Commandery to sponsor this minister. Without their determination throughout the year, as well as, the Commanderies and the Companions and Sir Knights, who, with their generous contributions, made this sponsorship possible. Thank you!!

The Ordained ministers, who have participated in these pilgrimages, through their testimonies, acknowledge their appreciation of this gift and that their ministry has, is and will be greatly enhanced by the opportunity you have given them.

We encourage all our Commanderies to support this program. With 100% participation, we can be more effective with our support in this program. Due to ever increasing costs associated with a sponsorship, we respectfully request that each Commandery commit to a minimum donation of $ 150.00 per year. If you can contribute more, that would be even better. All contributions should be mailed directly to S.K. D. Allen Surratt, Grand Secretary/Record. We would greatly appreciate you making your contribution before October 15th.

Basic requirements for consideration are that the applicant be an Ordained minister and has never been to the Holy Land. If your Commandery has an applicant they wish to recommend, you should complete and mail the Knights Templar Holy Land Pilgrimage Ministers Questionnaire Form (your Secretary/ Recorder has one- it may be reproduced, if you need more) to the Grand Secretary/Recorder.

For those Commanderies that have and continue to donate, we are especially grateful. Your gracious support has been a blessing and assures the success of this special ministry program.

Respectfully submitted,

Ralph P. Presley, PGC, Chairman Billy W. Canupp, Jr., Grand Prelate John M. Walston, Jr., PGC0

209 KNIGHTS TEMPLAR EYE FOUNDATION The Knights Templar Eye Foundation campaigns run from July 1st until May 31st annually. The 47th Annual Voluntary Campaign concluded since our last Grand York Rite meeting and the 48th Annual Voluntary Campaign is in progress. I am elated to state that voluntary contributions for the 47th campaign were up almost $10,000.00 to $30,279.50. Again this year all twenty-six Commanderies made donations. Two Commanderies donated more than $1,000.00 each and two Commanderies donated more than $2,000.00 each. Those Commanderies were Raleigh #4, Goldsboro #26, Palestine #20 and Lenoir #33. I would like to especially recognize St. John’s Commandery #10 and the Sir Knights of the New Bern York Rite Bodies that donated more than $13,000.00 including a $10,000.00 donation in my honor so I could be the first, in North Carolina, to receive the Knights Templar Eye Foundation Golden Chalice award. I would like to thank everyone who made donations.

As of this report we are in the 20th week of the 48th campaign and North Carolina has already donated $17,722.00. All Commanderies have made donations. Two Commanderies have donated over $2,000.00. Those Commanderies are Ivanhoe #8 and Palestine #20. There are four Commanderies with donations over $1,000.00 each. Those Commanderies are Plantagenet #1, Raleigh #4, Piedmont #6 and St. John’s #10. There are four more Commanderies over half way to that $1,000.00 mark. I ask them and the other Commanderies to accept my challenge and reach that $1,000.00+ donation mark before the end of this campaign.

North Carolina has many Sir Knights who have designated and donated at least $30.00 to be a Life Sponsor. There are eight Commanderies in North Carolina with 100% Life Sponsors. That is one more Commandery than last year. This was accomplished by a “Pay It Forward Program” I initiated with the blessings and support of Past Grand Commander Whichard and Grand Commander Pritt. Some Sir Knights made anonymous donations to purchase Life Sponsors for other Sir Knights and those Sir Knights are being asked to “Pay It Forward.” This program is having a slow start but the hope is it will snowball. If you would like to get the ball started in your Commandery, please contact me for a list for Sir Knights who are not Life Sponsors. Talk to other Sir Knights in your Commandery about your Commandery reaching 100% Life Sponsors.

I would also like to acknowledge those Sir Knights who have made and are making significant donations by being members of the Grand Master’s Club. To be a member of the Grand Master’s Club a Sir Knight must have donated at least $1,000.00 to the Knights Templar Eye Foundation. North Carolina has forty members of the Grand Master’s Club. Our two newest members are Michael Thomas Aycock (Palestine #20) and Vance Albert Pascal (Piedmont #6). I would like to thank those Sir Knights and urge other Sir Knights to consider this level of support to our charity.

210 To learn more about the Knights Templar Eye Foundation, how to donate and the levels of donations, please review the information at www.knightstemplar.org/ktef on the internet. You may make donations to the Eye Foundation through me or directly to the Knights Templar Eye Foundation, Inc., 1033 Long Prairie Road, Suite 5, Flower Mound, TX 75022.

2015 NCKT PARADE COMMITTEE REPORT 2015 was an exciting year. The three major events were the laying of a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on April 4th and the march up Shooters Hill on April 5th for the 85th Annual Grand Encampment Easter Observance Sunrise Service in Arlington and Alexandria, VA. On October 10th, eighteen Sir Knights marched in the Oxford Homecoming Parade.The 18 man unit, led by a color guard, included REGC Terry Pritt, past Grand Commanders, Grand Line Officers and many dedicated Sir Knights all in full class A uniform. Participation in this event has continued to grow. This year has again set a new record in participation. On December 6th Plantagenet Commandery #1in Wilmington, NC hosted Sir Knights from Raleigh, Durham and New Bern who marched in the Wilmington Holiday Parade. Again having Past Grand Commanders, Grand Line Officers and Sir Knights in class A uniform with a color guard, excellent fellowship was had by all. 2015 was also the second official performance of Plantagenet Commandery #1Drill Team in the Grand Encampment Drill Competition.

Report of the Committee on Civic and Patriotic Activities

Sir Knights from across North Carolina have been actively promoting our pres- ence in 2015. A group of Sir Knights participated in a Wreath Laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown in Arlington, Virginia on April 5. The next morn- ing they joined others from North Carolina and marched up Shooters Hill for the East Coast Easter Sunrise Service. The group from North Carolina was larger than in previous years and the hope is that the interest and participation in this event will increase. Also on April 5,the Grand Commander and Grand Sentinel joined the Grand Commander of South Carolina and his Aid-de­ camp to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown.

The number of Sir Knights marching in the Homecoming Parade at the Mason- ic Home for Children at Oxford has steadily grown over the last 4 years. Eight- een Sir Knights including our Grand Commander joined together for this event.

Knights from Plantagenet Commandery No.1in Wilmington were joined by those from other Commanderies in again participating in the Wilmington Christmas Parade. This event not only promotes harmony between different Commanderies, but promotes our status as Christian Knights.

The committee congratulates those Commanderies who are making the effort to promote Templar Masonry in these events and encourages all Commander- ies to join in this effort. Wouldn't it be a great sight to see over 100 Sir Knights marching down the street entering the Masonic Home for Children in Oxford?

213 It could easily happen if each Commandery were represented by only 4 Sir Knights. That should be our goal for the coming year. Let's make it happen.

2016 will be the Bicentennial Celebration year. There is a Special Malta Metal for all new members in 2016. I suggest we use this information to build strong Festi- vals next year.

The KTEF issued $5.1million in Grants during this Triennial. We also matched $2 million in matching funds with the Mayo Clinic There is $110,100,000 in the Permanent Fund.

The Amendment for an Alternate Head Cover passed the Grand Encampment. If NC passes it, then a Military Style Navel Dress Cap may be worn with the Templar Uniform. An Amendment to allow 3 ball cubes to have a negative vote failed. The ideal expressed was 'that if a man is a master mason in good standing why do we need a vote anyway'. This will show up again.

An amendment that changes some of the information the recorder has to send in passed. An Amendment for a $500.00 penalty for a Commandery that DOES NOT send in their reports on time. PASSED.

214 NEW CHARTERS ISSUED 8 issued Brazil # 4 to # 11– Requested to form a Grand Commandery. 1 issued El Salvador # 1 issued Lima, Peru # 1 3 issued Austria # 1, # 2 and # 3 1 issued Paraguay # 1

It should be noted that Templarly is doing great worldwide.

The 67th Triennial of the Grand Encampment will be in 2018. The location should be in Indiana.
