Text Box: It is a great time to be a Freemason!  If you treasure your membership in this the oldest and greatest fraternity the world has ever known, why not share it with others that you know who deserve to meet you on the level in Lodge?  





“Membership by Design not by Accident” is a program and a great motivation to involve your Lodge in finding those good men who deserve to share Masonry with us.  Let’s get our trestle boards out and design a plan to grow!
Another reminder that Grand Lodge will be in Havre starting on Thursday June 22nd with committee meetings, Vespers service and a get together dinner afterwards.  Public Grand Opening will be at 9:00 am Friday morning June 23rd followed with the election of your Grand Lodge Officers and the Master Masons banquet that evening.  Saturday June 24th, we will vote on the legislation and finish this communication with the installation of the next Grand Lodge officer team for 2006-2007 that afternoon, with reception to follow.  Registration forms are available on the website or from our Grand Secretary.  
Another event is happening this same weekend.  The American Legion is holding Text Box: a statewide meeting in Havre, so please do not delay and get your motel rooms now, ask for the rooms held under the Grand Lodge of Montana!  
Happy to meet,


Jack D. Anderson, Grand Master
