First, I want to emphasize the impor - tance of giving due notice to the membership of any and all Lodge Communications since the business of the Lodge is every members DONALD H. YANKEY business and they should be afforded every Grand Master opportunity to attend and take part if they Pictured above, left to right are Brother James Emmanuel choose.

Being aware of this, and after carefully reviewing the aforementioned Sections, con - sulting the Committee on Jurisprudence and the elected Grand Lodge Officers, I feel it necessary to make this decision. Mark your calendar... Therefore, it is my determination that due notice of all Called Communications must be given to the membership of the Lodge either “(1) In writing, addressed to the Lodge membership or member affected with postage thereon prepaid, (2) Published in the Ma - All Masons Day sonic Home Journal, (3) Announced to the Craft by the Master or someone lawfully act - ing in his place during a stated communication of the lodge”. The only exception is the calling of a communication for conducting a funeral service for a Brother because of the time constraint; however, even in this case, every effort should be made to notify as many PICNIC Brethren as possible. The elected Grand Lodge Officers unanimously concurred with me in reaching this decision.
