‘Town Hall at Masonic Hall next week’

     
Bro. Charles Catapano, the Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of New York, will host a Town Hall meeting next week for the discussion of his and the brethren’s concerns and ideas on the state of the Craft and on best ways to affect improvements.

Tuesday, January 31
7:30 p.m.
Masonic Hall
71 West 23rd Street
Grand Lodge Room
New York City
Light refreshments to be served

I don’t know how common a practice this is among Masonic jurisdictions across the country, but an open forum to hear from and talk to elected leaders—particularly your future grand masters—can go a long way toward readying your lodge for the next several years.
     

‘Masonic town hall meetings’

     

RW Jeffrey Williamson
at Grand Masters Day
last August in Tappan.

With the resumption of Masonic labors next month will come the continuation of Deputy Grand Master Jeffrey Williamson’s tour of New York State to host his Town Hall meetings. From the publicity:

Please be aware of and support the Deputy Grand Master’s upcoming Town Hall meetings in the Metro area.

On Saturday, September 12, a Town Hall meeting will be held in the Richmond District at 8 a.m. at the Staten Island Temple (236 Main Street). Later, at 3 p.m., a Town Hall will be held for the First, Second, and Third Kings Districts; the Queens District; and the Ninth Manhattan District at the Whitestone Masonic Temple (14939 11th Avenue, Flushing).

Please make every effort to attend to learn where the Grand Lodge is heading and to provide your input into the future planning. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your District Deputy Grand Master or myself here.

Thanks, and I look forward to greeting you at these Town Hall meetings.
