‘Masonic Week 2022’

    

I know it’s still early, but in case you haven’t heard:

• Masonic Week 2022 is a “go.” We are scheduled and booked to resume our regular, live, in-person meetings and events in February!
• The voting members of the Grand Council of Allied Masonic Degrees of the USA met virtually recently and voted to remain at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City for the three ensuing years (2023-25).

A tentative schedule for 2022 is ready and will be disseminated soon. As you know, the Masonic Society’s dinner is the highlight of the five-day affair. I’ll let you know about the menu and dining fee as soon as I can.

My tenure as president of the Masonic Society will end Friday, February 11. Don’t despair! On that afternoon, current First Vice President Oscar Alleyne will accept the presidency, so come to our dinner and cheer him on.

I have been mentioning in private conversation here and there how Masonic Week 2022 most likely will be my last. My first—back when it was humbly AMD Weekend—was 2002. (I still cherish a certain cork and a small stone, souvenirs from late night sacred rituals upstairs in the Hotel Washington.)

But we’ll have fun next February! See you in Arlington.
