Dear Companion and Dad Ayen,
On behalf of the young men of New Hampshire DeMolay we want to thank you and your Royal Arch Companions for your generous contribution to our educational programs.
This and other recent donations will allow for our State Junior Councilor Tim Sprague to attend a DeMolay Leadership Conference in Oklahoma. He will be spending a week immersed in a program that will help him improve his skills as a DeMolay State Officer.
We will also be sending four or five DeMolays to Region 1 Leadership Training at Camp Lions Pride, New Durham, NH. They will spend their week gaining knowledge about DeMolay and how they can help lead their local Chapter.
We are very pleased to see the ties between NH Royal Arch Masons and NH DeMolays being re established.
Please feel free to share this with your membership!
Thank you,
Scott F. Jenckes, State Master Councilor
George L. Baldwin, Executive Officer
New Hampshire DeMolay

Companions,
Yesterday I spoke with our MI Grand Master, R. Bradley Alderfer and he and I have come to the conclusion to cancel the visitation scheduled for THIS Wednesday, March 18.
We will move ahead with our annual meetings scheduled for Wednesday the 25th for both Chapter and Council. This meeting will be very important to attend, and both Companion O’Sullivan and I hope that our members can make it.
So please make every effort to attend our annual convocations of Mt. Horeb Chapter and Adorniam Council at 7 PM on Wednesday the 25th at the Manchester Masonic temple.
Thank you Companions.
Fraternally,
Paul Smith, IM – Adorniam Council
Patrick O’Sullivan, HP – Mt. Horeb Chapter
Companions,
Due to a transcription error, we are not able to meet in Manchester on March 18th for the visitation of Adoniram Council.
Instead, the venue will be the Goffstown Masonic temple located at 15 Mountain Road. Please update your calendar accordingly. Our Council paraphernalia will be brought over for the purposes of the visitation and returned.
Fraternally,
Paul Smith, Adoniram Council
Companions and Sir Knights,
Please find attached a newsletter for the Manchester, NH York Rite Bodies for the upcoming month. It is important that we have Companions and Sir Knights willing to assist us in work.
NH York Rite is at a crossroads and our actions over the next few years are going to decide whether we survive or fade into obscurity. I, for one, think that our degrees and orders and meaningful and beautiful and I hope you will entertain joining us, especially for our upcoming inspection and visitation.
If there are any Companions or Sir Knights from Manchester who were not included on this email, please let me know so that I can add them to the distribution list.
Fraternally,
Paul Smith, IM
Adoniram Council

The York Rite northeastern regional conference will be held in Manchester NH, Sep 5-6, 2014.
Attached for your distribution to your Grand Chapter and chapter officers, as well as interested members, is the flyer with the registration form and information regarding the conference. Please distribute as soon as possible. As you can appreciate, time is moving quickly toward the meeting.
We just wanted to let you know about the schedule of degrees we have coming up.
Also please note that the annual Concord York Rite Picnic sponsored by Horace Chase Council will be on Tuesday, June 17th at 6:30PM – Please RSVP to Marc Gelinas or myself so we make sure we have enough food.
All members of the Masonic family are invited, their spouses, children, friends and family! Please join us!
As for Commandery, please be aware that if you have a full commandery uniform and are attending the Cathedral of the Pines on St. John’s Sunday, June 22 in Rindge, NH we could use your assistance! A full uniform with Chapeau and Sword are required as we will be a part of the team receiving the dignitaries of this event. Please contact myself or the Eminent Commander if you can assist with this.
I know there has been very little communication as of late and for that we apologize. We went through a merger this winter with the Claremont York Rite bodies and it took a little time to get that all sorted and then the two groups organized together. We think we have that well started and things should flow a bit smoother now. We will do our best to put out timely and periodic notices like this one.
The leadership in the Concord York Rite this year is as follows:
High Priest of Trinity Chapter is Andy M. Lord – amlord70@comcast.net
Illustrious Master of Horace Chase Council is Marc R. Gelinas – marc29th@gmail.com
Eminent Commander of Mt. Horeb Commandery is Earl W. Cole, Jr. – ewc18@msn.com
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do everything I can to get you the answer.
Respectfully submitted,
Scott M.. Ayen, Secretary/Recorder
Concord York Rite Bodies
