I have the utmost respect for what they do and how much they sacrifice for their students. I’d like to especially thank Professor Daryl Moen for working closely with me and pushing me to perform the best research possible. I definitely need to thank the former creative director at Gannett’s Des Moines Design Studio, Nathan Groepper, for giving me an opportunity to work there. My team leaders at the studio, Sean McKeown-Young and Jeremy Gustafson, were particularly awesome in pushing me to be a better and more thoughtful designer. Lastly, I’d like to thank my parents, Janet and Daniel Brisson for their love and support. I would not be here without them — not just in the literal sense, but also because their judgment and beliefs have driven me in probably everything I do. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS . ii LIST OF TABLES . iv ABSTRACT . v KEYWORDS . vi Chapter 1.

Despite our collective efforts, many of our Brothers have acquired this illness and I encourage you and your lodges to continue your outreach efforts. Now is the time to put the tenets of our order to the test in the support of our extended lodge family. The holidays are fast approaching. Consider your Thanksgiving plans with care and consider the implications given COVID-19. If you are a deer hunter, please stay safe! Lastly, please reach out to your WM or Secretary to find out the status of your winter meetings or activities. Many lodges are cancelling events due to the explosion of COVID-19 cases in District #4. This is a continually changing situation. Save yourself a wasted trip and call ahead! Until we meet again Brothers, I remain at your service. Fraternally, Christian Hirthe, DDGM-4 920-840-3666 Upcoming Activities NOTE: With the rapidly evolving conditions of COVID-19 in District #4, please note that any events listed below may be cancelled at any point. Please reach out to the respective WM or Sec of the listed lodge to verify event status before traveling.

SEEKING LIGHT Preparation You have been elected to membership in the Masonic Fraternity. Congratulations! In your petition soliciting this honor you made several significant statements. You stated that: - You were not biased by improper solicitations of friends. - You were not influenced by mercenary motives. - You were prompted by a desire for knowledge and a sincere wish to be of service to your fellow citizens. - You would cheerfully conform to all the ancient established usages and customs of the fraternity.
