Brothers, I hope that this season brought you joy and happiness. It is so rewarding to witness the many charitable things that Masons do across the state. Some examples include: purchasing toys for children, making Christ- mas baskets for the elderly or needy, giving gift cards and volunteering during the holidays, all of which is greatly appreciated by countless organizations, charities and the Brothers who just need a helping hand. A simple and kind act from the heart can inspire others and uplift their spirit. I’m proud to witness, brothers showing thoughtfulness for others, kindness in the community, hon- esty in business, courtesy in society and fairness in all things.

FURTHER LIGHT Hale, brothers of the Rule and Line, who work by Truth and Honor's laws; Still striving toward the Light divine, the dayspring of our righteous cause. The cause our ancient seers upbore, in lonely lands through darkest night; Still keeping in their mystic Lore, the prophecy of "Further Light." And further light spread Truth and Love, 'till now the world begins to know The Fatherhood of God, above, the Brotherhood of Man, below. And we, who caught their thought in part — how oft we met, in former time To search for truths their "Royal Art," had woven in the "work" sublime. And oft within the dimmest lore, of ancient writ, we sought and found Some Jewel from their secret store — concealed of old in Holy ground; Concealed for those who sought aright, as that Foundation Stone of yore, "First seen in Heaven" by Holy Light, then centre of the Master's floor. And oft we met in concourse glad, and hail our chosen rulers all. And oft with spirits O how sad, to hear for some the funeral pall, And oft must be, 'till all go, and none shall know that we were here, For what is lost on earth below, is treasured in that higher sphere.

Where has this year gone? There have been many questions and concerns about holding our Annual Grand Communication in October. Many jurisdictions have either cancelled or postponed their Grand Com- munications. Due to the circumstances and the uncertainty of the months ahead, the plan going forward is to have a one-day Grand Communication Session at the Galt House scheduled for Monday, October 19, 2020 pending approval from the delegates. Registration will be on Sunday, October 18, 2020 and the morning of Monday, October 19, 2020. With the current restrictions and mandates in place, we will be unable to hold the session at levels that we have been accustomed to in the past. At the present time, due to the health risks associated with COVID-19, attendance will be limited to elected and appointed Grand Lodge Officers, Past Grand Mas- ters, DDGM’s and one delegate from each subordinate Lodge and other essen- tial members needed to conduct the business of the annual session, including the election. Due to limited capacity, the Ritual Competition scheduled for Sunday, Geary F. Laird October 18, 2020 will be cancelled. It is of utmost importance that each lodge has Grand Master 2019-2020 a delegate and is represented at the upcoming Grand Lodge Session.
