2008 Grand Lodge

The Grand Lodge session was held at the Detroit Masonic Temple over the last weekend in May. Still an incredible building. Brought back many memories of going there as child with my family to see concerts and plays. We owe our gratitude to Mr. Ilitch and Olympia entertainment for their interest in the building and their assistance at bringing it back to life.

Thursday brought me to my first Deputy District Instructor meeting. A very good program that provided lots of information for us to bring back to our Lodges. Thank you to Bro. Elwin Brown for serving as my Grand Lecturer and I wish him well as he steps aside from his post. Additional congratulations to RWB Eddie Steffne for taking the open chair.

Grand Lodge started on Friday and continued through Saturday with introductions of guests from across the world and reports from our appendent bodies. Handling of business started on Saturday and continued throughout the day.

Back home we are preparing for a FC Degree this week followed with 4 new candidates being brought to EA to follow.

MICHiPs events for the Indian River Summerfest downtown and the north rest area for MICHiPs and coffee rest stop on August 22 for the annual Mackinaw City corvette show.
