A few reminders from MICHIGAN MASONS - Official Page of the Grand Lodge of Michigan

The degree Sunday will begin at 3 p.m. We will aim to have assistant tilers ready to start checking dues cards around 1 p.m. Once your dues card is verified, you will receive a wristband and can leave. When you come back in we'll have a separate line for those that have already checked in, just show your wristband.

Dress code is whatever you would wear to a degree in your own lodge short of a tuxedo. Suit or at least shirt and tie would be preferred but if you are in khakis and a lodge polo, we won't be turning you away. Just no jeans/t-shirts or shorts please.

We will have the aprons we use for the Annual Communication session on hand but fully expect and hope to run out. If you can bring a white or PM apron with you that would be great.

Brother Rusty and Brother Cameren will be there, come find us!

The Brothers of James E. Dillon Lodge #466 F&AM extend our heartfelt condolences to Worshipful Brother Ralph Lumbard, Past Master (1978), and his family on the passing of his beloved wife, Jean Lumbard.

Jean was a cherished member and Past Worthy Matron of Sherman Chapter #197, Order of the Eastern Star, and a devoted supporter of our Masonic family. Her kindness, dedication, and unwavering support will be long remembered.

Services will be held Friday, February 6, with public viewing beginning at 10:00 AM and an Eastern Star service to follow at 11:00 AM. Arrangements are being made by Petersons Funeral Home.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Worshipful Brother Ralph and the entire Lumbard family during this difficult time
