STRUCTIONS AND THOSE AT THE TOP OF EACH
PAGE BEFORE MAKING OUT THIS ANNUAL
RETURN FOR THE YEAR ENDING

Dear Brother Secretary:

This Annual Return becomes a permanent record
of your lodge in the Grand Secretary’s office and may be
the only record in existence in the event your lodge records
are lost or destroyed, therefore, it is very important that
each name and each date be correctly entered, they must be
complete in every detail and mailed to the Grand Secretary
not later than August 10.

FILL OUT THE TWO COPIES OF THE BLANK RE-
TURNS. file one away for future use and mail the other
copy in the addressed envelope enclosed herewith.

THE LEAVES ARE HELD TOGETHER WITH WIRE
STAPLES. They may be separated and typewritten, then placed
in proper order and the wires replaced, otherwise they must
be written in ink, in plain legible writing. Mail to the Grand
Secretary the original copy, keep the carbon or pencil copy.

IMPORTANT. The roster of membership in the annual
Proceedings of the Grand Lodge is copied from this Return,
therefore, great care should be taken in its preparation, its
correctness in facts, dates and spelling, means much to
future generations.

PAY FULL POSTAGE ON RETURNS. Returns are rated
first class mail and require 3 cents per ounce postage, if
they weigh over the one ounce 3 cents will not do.

LIST NAMES IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, the given
name last. WRITE GIVEN NAMES IN FULL INSTEAD OF
INITIALS. Please do not ditto names. Do not use nick names
or pet names. Enter names of your members on the numbered
lines and street or R. F. D. and post—office address on the
line underneath the name on the same page.

Mason affiliated for fifty years, put “Fifty Years” after his
name; if in Asylum, put “In Asylum.”

have become members by initiation, admission or rein-
statement.

ing at low twelve July 31, without reference to the date
of initiation, re-instatement or affiliation: $2.25 to the Widows

and $1.25 to the Old Masons’ Home, a total of $5.00 for each
member and $1.00 for each member raised for the George
Washington Masonic National Memorial.

orary members are exempt from both Grand Lodge dues
and assessments. Life members and dual members are not
exempt from Grand Lodge dues and assessments.
