Council Visitation Cancelled (March 18, 2015)
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

Greetings:
Due to a number of conflicting events scheduled for Saturday, March 14, 2015, including the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire’s Masonic Leadership Training Session, the Joint Commandery Inspections of Trinity Commandery #1 and St. George Commandery #8 scheduled for that day in Nashua has been canceled.

I urge each of you who were planning to attend the March 14 Joint Inspection to take advantage of the Masonic Leadership Training Session which will be held in Concord. Reservations may be made at the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire’s website.
Courteously,

Manchester York Rite Bodies Newsletter (February 2015)
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
