Greetings Companions,
​
Your Chapter had it’s first meeting for the new capitular year on September 5th.  The meeting went well and everyone was eager to get back to work.  Prior to the meeting, we had a Tureen dinner.  The food and companionship was excellent.

Despite being “dark” during the summer, the Chapter was kept busy hosting the Grand King’s school in July and the 7th capitular District’s Grand High Priest’s reception in July.  Both events were well attended and harmony prevailed.  At the meeting during the reception over $500.00 was raised for Adopt America.

This capitular year I plan  on keeping our Chapter busy.  Not only are we  going to visit our fellow Chapters  for Inspections: I plan on having official visitations to the Blue Lodges that support our Chapters.  Also, we are going to portray all four degrees this year, which we have not done in for sometime.  A busy Chapter is a happy and vibrant chapter.

Upcoming events are:
Annual Grand Chapter Convocation: October 4-5 2017 Independence Ohio.
October 22, 2017 Reaffirmation Sunday, Findlay Chapter 58.
Note: Reaffirmation Sunday is a District function and the District will provide meat.  All other Refreshments will be provided by the Chapter.

​Also, our stated meetings are the first Tuesday of each month, except July and August.  Before the meeting we have a tureen dinner, please feel free to attend and bring a hot or cold dish to share.  The chapter provides the meat and beverages.  doors open by 6:00pm and we dine at 6:30pm.  Wives and children are always welcome, so please join us.

I extend to you my wishes for a blessed and safe holiday season this November and December.

Fraternally,

​Greetings Companions,

Your Chapter has elected an Excellent Officer line for this year.  We will be “dark” during July and August, however, feel free to stop in when we start up again in September.  Our meetings are on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm.  The doors open at 6:00pm  and we have a tureen dinner at 6:30pm.  Bring a hot or cold dish and have some fun food and fellowship.  Spouses and children are encouraged to attend and join us. 

The York Rite Festival in May was a success and Findlay Chapter gained  several new Companions.  This fall, in October, we will be conferring the Royal Arch Degree on at least one candidate.  Please encourage good men to join Lodge and good  Masons to join Chapter (York Rite).  In order to remain a healthy and vibrant organization we need to replenish our ranks.

This July 23rd at the Findlay Complex is or annual Grand High Priest Reception and Awards presentation. The event starts at 3:00pm and afterwards is the Adopt America Auction.  Feel free to attend and have some roasted Hog and companionship and fun.  

Finally, I am honored and humbled to be entrusted by the companions to serve as your High Priest again.  I am confident that this capitular year will be one of continued success for Findlay Chapter.

​Greetings Companions,

By the time you read this, the inspection season will be over.  I cannot believe how quickly this year is flying by.

We have a few events yet to come.  I cannot thank everyone enough for all the help in making this, in my opinion, one of the most amazing and exciting years.

It is truly an honor and privilege to be a part of Chapter at any level.  The year is not yet over and I hope we finish it out strong and I hope we have a very strong Chapter presence in everything we do.

Humbly,
Boyd E Durain HP

​Greetings Companions,

As you read this the holiday seasons are recent memory and we are looking forward to traveling season in all of the bodies and especially our own Chapter. Some of the dates of interest are in the trifold but most importantly our own personal inspection has been moved back to April 8th due to a conflict of travel.

Please try to get out and support our fellow Chapter members and fellow Companions in and outside of our own District as we all know part of the greatness of this fraternity and all the bodies is fellowship, and the fellowship could not be had if we're not willing to travel and meet new Companions and brothers.

I look forward to our own inspection of the Mark Master degree coming up and as I have said in open Lodge I am planning on having practices on the off Tuesdays for any and all who wish to attend. I sincerely look forward to a great kick off to the new year I hope that everyone had a great and wonderful holiday season. 

Sincerely,
Boyd E Durain HP

​Greetings Companions,
 
As you read this, the fall season has started which means Holiday season is fast approaching and lots of events are going to be on.  Grand sessions will be starting in October, Installation of officers for various bodies, and Holiday events will be in full swing.  Please keep an eye on social media and E-mails for dates and times.
We are starting an exciting and fun year in Chapter and I would really like to see everyone that can make it.  Please come out to a meeting or two (or more).  There are new faces and new officers so please support them.  With all of this being said, I’m looking forward to seeing you all at Chapter this year.

​Greetings Companions,

As you are reading this, we have already gone dark.  Our next meeting will be September 6th.  I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Fourth of July and summer vacation.  Once we get back to regular meetings, we will be taking off in full force by getting ready for the seasons’ Grand meetings and preparing for inspections.  I am looking forward to an exciting year with great attendance and lots to do.  Hopefully, we will see you all in September and have a safe and enjoyable summer.
