    1 KANSAS GRAND LODGE OF RESEARCH Capitol Plaza Hotel, Topeka, Kansas Annual Meeting Minutes 3/17/2016 DRAFT At 3:00 p.m. the meeting was called to order by Worshipful Master Frederick Reichert in the Pioneer Room of the Capitol Plaza Hotel. In Attendance: Other officers in attendance were Michael Snively, Senior Warden, John Crary, Junior Warden, Wayne Rollf, Treasurer, and Jon Woodward, Secretary. By the Secretary’s register, 68 other members were in attendance. Worshipful Reichert welcomed the members and introduced the officers and chairs of the standing committees. Consent Agenda: After assuring that the members present had the opportunity to review the Secretary’s financial and membership statement, as well as the Treasurer’s Report, the Master called for a motion to approve the consent agenda. The motion was properly made, seconded and approved without objection. The Secretary noted that there were several in attendance who had not previously attended a meeting of the lodge of research and asked for a show of hands of new members since the previous meeting. There were approximately thirty new members in attendance. Owing to the support of the Kansas Masonic Foundation and the generosity of Brother Bob Shively in particular, 21 new members had signed up immediately prior to the meeting. Committee Reports: Worshipful Reichert called upon committee chairs to report on the actions taken by their committees since the last meeting. John Crary reported that the research committee was assisting the Grand Lodge Masonic Education Committee with its preparation of the Masonry-in-a-box initiative, but was supportive of individual research efforts as may be taken by members.

    2 Grand rank is an honor bestowed on Masons who have distinguished themselves by faithfully serving the Craft. However, appointment as a Grand Lodge officer is not merely a reward for past service – rather it carries with it increased duties to continue service to the Craft as an officer of the Grand Lodge of Kansas. The Grand Lodge of Kansas recognizes two types of Grand Lodge officers; elected and appointed. Elected Grand Lodge officers are the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Grand Wardens, Grand Treasurer, and the Grand Secretary. All other Grand Lodge officers are appointed. This manual provides an overview of the responsibilities of appointed Grand Lodge officers. Kansas Masonic law does not list the qualifications of appointed Grand Lodge officers, although in most cases, an appointed grand officer is a past master who is well regarded in his lodge, district, and area. However, Grand Masters may ask any Master Mason who has not yet attained the rank of past master to serve as an appointed officer of the Grand Lodge. All appointed Grand Lodge officers serve at the pleasure of the Grand Master, just as appointed officers in a regular lodge serve at the pleasure of the Worshipful Master. Appointments to grand rank occur during the Grand Master’s term of office and terminate when his successor is installed. In Kansas, elected Grand Lodge officers, as well as Grand Lecturers, and Grand Representatives, are entitled to be addressed thereafter as “Right Worshipful.” Upon his installation, and for life thereafter, the Grand Master is entitled to be addressed as “Most Worshipful.” Appointment to grand rank automatically confers the title of “Worshipful.” But remember, brethren who serve as an appointed Grand Lodge officer may have already earned the title of “Right Worshipful,” (i.e.

  • Greetings from the President by Warren D
    Alexandria, Virginia Volume 9 Number 1 Greetings From The President by Warren D. Lichty It is a great pleasure for me to announce that another of our Members has stepped up to the plate and become truly active in support of the memory of George Washington, the Mason, supporting this magnificent building which Masons of the United States erected to memorialize him. The Grand Jurisdiction of Kansas, at its last Grand Lodge Session, voted to enact a fifty-cent per-capita annual contribution to the George Washington Masonic Memorial Association. We are so grateful to the Grand Lodge of Kansas. I wish to personally thank M.W. Glenn E. Kohr since it was during his Grand Lodge Session that the action was taken. His leadership, together with that of M.W. Robert L. Tomlinson, Jr., the current Grand Master of Kansas, made this happen. Credit should also go to the other Grand Lodge Officers who were instrumental in bringing this per-capita contribution to fruition. Dedicated leaders such as these bring progress in Masonry. I am also pleased to announce the appointment of M.W. Roger A. Simmons, Past Grand Master of Alabama and a current member of our Board of Directors as a member of the Executive Committee. Roger is a sincere and dedicated Mason who will bring us great representation from the South. Welcome aboard, Roger. The Annual Meeting of the Association was held in Minneapolis on February 17, 2003. All agenda items were covered in the allotted time. We are truly grateful for the many annual contributions from Grand Lodges and Appendant Bodies which we received following the Meeting.
