This Wednesday, May 12, is our stated meeting. We will restart meals and so invite all Companions to join us for a pitluck dinner at 6:30 before our 7:30 stated. We may have a candidate to vote on, will review plans for a Royal Arch degree, will update efforts to conserve our 1828 charter and old Books of Marks among other business.
A quorum is necessary and your support is needed.

Companions, the Grand Chapter has issued a Call to Arms encouraging all Chapters to get back to work. In our southern Quarry, all Chapters had bern dark for the padt several months.
As a three month hiatus was always our plan, we will meet at our usual stated meeting date in April, April 14 at 7:30 PM. We have a lot of work to do to get back on track, especially to make plans to confer a Royal Arch degree on our three candidates.
I will ask our Secretary to send out an email notification and I will contact officers this weekend by phone, email, or text. I hope to see you next Wednesday.

School of Instruction this evening at York Chapter on Historical Context of the First and Second Temples. 7:30 PM, open to all who have received their Mark degree. About an hour, no longer.

Reminder of a School of Instruction in the regular Password of the Royal Arch degree, to be held this evening at York Chapter No. 5 at 7:30. School will last one hour. Open only to Royal Arch Masons because of the subject matter.
A goid opportunity to learn about the deep significance and historical underpinnings of the Password.

01/10/2021

Companions: This coming Wednesday we will have a school of instruction on the regular password. The meeting will start at our usual 7:30 time and last no more than an hour. We will not open as a Royal Arch Chapter nor have a typical stated meeting. As announced at our December stated, those have been suspended until later this spring. I note that 5 of 6 Chapters in our southern Quarry are similarly closed.
This meeting is open only to York No. 5 Royal Arch !asons. Because of the subject matter, candidates in the lower degrees are not able to attend.
Because of the open nature of this site, I cannot explain here about the regular password, but RA Masons wanting a deeper understanding of our opening and our ultimate degree might consider attending.
Mike Hopkins, High Priest
