"After careful consideration of the current situation; consultation with the Grand Officers and conversations with some of you, I have decided to permit the resumption of all Masonic activities, effective February 1, 2021, including the opening of Masonic buildings for fraternal and non-fraternal activities, providing that governmental guidelines and protocols are followed including, but not limited to, limitations on gatherings.
Since we are transitioning into a new federal administration this directive is subject to any further restrictions that may be implemented.
The Worshipful Master is still responsible for oversight of the activities of the lodge and should be aided by the Safety Officer. Should any or all of your lodge’s decide to meet, visitations between lodges and District should be discouraged for the foreseeable future.
It is imperative we follow the CDC and DOH guidance for social distancing and cleaning, including keeping within the maximum number of participants allowed to attend events; following social distancing requirements and use of PPE as required.
Please stay safe and stay well!
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Thomas Gamon, IV
R.W. Grand Master " ... See MoreSee Less
