Message from E.C. Ron Hart

Sir Knights:
First, I want to thank everyone that came out last Thursday for practice. We have some work to do, but it was a great start. 

Our next practice will be Thursday, August 28 at 7:30 PM at Norwood Masonic Temple. We will open a conclave using the short form opening, we will then walk through the entire Full Form Opening, and then close our conclave as we prepare for our first conclave in September. We will not use our rituals for the Short Form Opening and Closing. We will have prompters to assist us wherever needed.

If you are unable to make it, please either call me (253-7570, cell) or respond to this message and let me know.   

Important note, we will be informal so no uniform is required. Please bring  sword and either chapeau or an alternate hat.   

As a reminder, I am attaching the schedule for the coming year below.   

Thanks and see you next month.
ron
