.NEWS LETTER

 

Dear Brothers:

There is one item of business left over from the previous year that we need to take care of
as soon as possible, therefore the date of March 19, 1990, we hope to present the following
for your consideration:

Our BY-LAWS (Article Two, Section 1) now reads as follows:

The officers shall consist of the Master, Senior Warden, Junior Warden, Treasurer, Secretary,
Tiler, seven Representatives to Masonic Temple Association, Senior Deacon, Junior Deacon,
Chaplain, Lecturers, two Trustees and two Stewards. The elective officers are the Master,

the Wardens, Treasurer, Secretary, Tiler and seven Representatives to Masonic Temple Associatio
Three Representatives to be elected annually for a_twofiyear term. The Junior Past Master to
serve a oneeyear term Ex-Officio.

 

Your attention should be drawn to the last two lines which have been under lined, because
there has been a change submitted so these lines (if adopted) would read:

Four Representatives to be elected for a two-year term. The following year three Representa-—
-tives to be elected for a two-year term.

This change does two things: First it expands the term of that Representative from a one
year rotation to a two year rotation and, Second, it causes that office to be balloted on
rather than being filled automatically by the next Junior Past Master.

.Another change was submitted concerning the same subject which (if adopted) reads:

Three Representatives shall be elected for a period of two years and the following year
three Representatives shall be elected for a two year term. The present Master will
automatically be elected by virtue of his office.

This change repeats part of the by-laws as they now read but changes the Representative to
be the current Master instead of the Junior Past Master.

Your current officers express no preference in the above and have used this means of giving

the Craft notice there to.

In recent years the Lodge has attempted to have events for the members to Join in on that
are outside the normal range of Lodge functions. We are interested in seeing if those
activities are still wanted? We would enjoy getting some feed back from the membership

if they wish to continue the golf tournament? Someone suggested that a fishing tournament
might have some interest? Perhaps the membership would like to see more family functions

like the annual fish fry (more than the one). These type of activities are more possible

when we have response and ideas. ,
************************** ********************* *******************

Lexington Lodge No. 1, Officers urge all of our Brothers to support your other Masonic

We also want to thank Bro. George Pash, William hiles, Ellis McCollum and Melvin Kennedy-

Fraternally thine, -for being pro-tem officers during-
