GREETINGS FROM:

THE HONORABLE GRAND SECRETARY

Greetings my Brothers and Sisters.

Congratulations are certainly due to the Co-chairs of our Website Committee- Sisters Anne Huffman and Doreen Van Heynegen.  Because of the astounding amount of work that these sisters have performed, you are now viewing our updated website.

I remind you of one of the most outstanding activities that our Grand Ole Order began at the 61st BMC- the awarding of a scholarship to one student from each of the five Areas within the American Jurisdiction.  The scholarship recipient is chosen by the Area but must be either a graduating senior or a first year college student.  Scholarships are awarded in August of each year.  Look for the names of our recipients on the website.

Be sure to pay your annual taxes as soon as possible if they have not already been paid.  Statements are either mailed or emailed to the Permanent Secretary/ Worthy Recorder of your Lodge or Household in late December.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or concerns related to the Order.

Fraternally,

Graham T. Paige, HGS
