Greetings Companions and Sir Knights,

Well, the month of May finds us still in this lockdown mode, but there are signs of it lessening in the near future. That being said, I am still going to postpone/cancel our May Meeting in keeping with the Grand Lodge’s guidelines to Masonic Bodies. I am hoping to schedule a Special Meeting as soon as it’s possible and safe to do so and it will be hosted by the Chapter, so any and all that wish to attend will be able to do so. It will be so that we can meet again in fellowship and maybe take care of any necessary business that we haven’t been able to do these past few months. In the meantime, try to join us in the Tuesday night virtual educational programs put on by the Grand Bodies. They have been covering the various Degrees and rotating it thru the 3 Grand Bodies. It has been very informative and you’ll find it most interesting.

Hopefully we’ll be able to get all of our Knights of Malta their Order of the Temple soon, as they’ve been waiting patiently since this pandemic started. I expect that it will be a little while after things restart, just to let the Commanderys get in a couple of rehearsals.

I have made up a list of all our members, including phone numbers and email addresses. What I’d like to do is contact each of our members by phone sometime this week, or next, to check-up on their current status, as well as verify their phone numbers, email and regular addresses. We can then use this as an emergency phone tree, contact type list. If any of you would like to assist our Secretary and myself in this please contact me at: datuttlesr@gmail.com and I’ll email you a copy of the list and the members to contact. Thank you for whatever assistance you may be able to provide.

Also, for the Diaz Officers, just a reminder of the upcoming second half of the Grand Bodies Annual Meeting to be held on the 30th. Due to the present conditions, it will be another Virtual Meeting. Our Secretary/Recorder will send out the connection information to the required Diaz Officer Attendees after it is totally finalized. As far as I know, any others of you that would like to attend just to observe your respective level are welcome to sit in for that portion.

Fraternally,
Dennis A Tuttle, Sr
