From the West November 2025

My brothers I am excited about the upcoming 1st degree and having new additions to the Lodge. Just a word to the brothers that will have parts in the degree that they diligently study said parts to make the degree experience the best that the new candidates can witness. Again, the district team is getting down on all lodges that there are not to be books open or tablets open, and everything should be committed to memory. I know this issue has come up before, but there are lodges in the district that are not adhering to their wishes. Other than that, keep safe brother and see you at the next meeting.
