Text Box: Proclamation Sunday, October 24, 2004 Is hereby proclaimed to be Royal Arch Reaffirmation Day in Ohio, when it is hoped all Royal Arch Masons with their families will gather together in a religious service to reaffirm their faith in the Grand Architect of the Universe and in Royal Arch Freemasonry. It is recommended that each Chapter combine with other Chapters, or better yet, make it district-wide event. If for some local reason another date is more appropriate for the observance, it is permissible to schedule the event on another date. But do have an observance. It is expected that each District Deputy Grand High Priest will at once inform the High Priest in his respective District, and urge them to start making plan for this observance immediately. The event can also be a District Association function. We wish you success. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated by Rt. Ex. Companion Jean W. Justus, Jr., Grand King and soon to be Grand High Priest. Sincerely and Fraternally, Steven A. Duncan, Grand High Priest

Text Box: The local Benevolent Fund is administered by a committee headed by Worshipful Brother Jack H. Case. The committee meets when requested and assists as much as possible when the need arises. Contributions to the local benevolent fund may be made at any time, many brethren contribute when paying their annual dues. Funding comes from a variety of sources, specifically member contributions, proceeds from sales of items in the jewelry case located in the main corridor, and the sale of pop from the machine in the small dining room. Some new items are available in the jewelry case and make great gifts and presentation items to friends and family with Masonic affiliations.
