Good of the Order
· Latham Lodge expressed disappointment that even though widely spread in this organization and others, that NO other lodges participated in their Family Night celebration
· All GL publications are now available via Lulu.com on the Home Page (do not sign in)
· Have secretaries received correspondence that a letter of good standing can now be issued by GL via Email? There was much discussion on this as it may be against Code! Follow-up is needed.
Relief
Opening prayer included request for Travis Gamelin
Close
The next meeting date was set for: Monday, July 7th at Battle Hill #523
A closing prayer was then given by WB Jim Moore.
