​Greetings Companions:

After celebrating Christmas, we greet the New Year with enthusiasm and hope. Your Findlay Chapter Officers have done a wonderful job of representing you and performing their work at our regular meetings.  Attendance has been thin and I ask each member of Findlay Chapter to please try to schedule at least one visit to your home Chapter in 2019.  Try to attend at least one meeting and reacquaint yourself with the Order and your Companions.  It is in the Chapter Degrees that the true “word” of a Master Mason is revealed, nowhere  else, and the lessons taught in our Degrees are some of the most educating and beautiful in Masonry.

Inspection season is in full swing and it is my hope that you will join us as we travel to as many of these inspections as possible; Jan. 18 Carey, Feb. 26 Upper Sandusky, Mar. 20 Marion, Mar. 23 FINDLAY and Apr. 13 Fostoria.  The 7th Capitular District Meeting is the 17th of January  in Upper Sandusky at East of Chicago Pizza in Upper Sandusky, all are welcome to attend. 

Meetings are on the first Tuesday of each month with a carry-in dinner at 6:30pm  In the dining room of the Masonic Complex.  The main course is provided.  Just bring a dish of your choice to share.  Family Members are always welcome to join us.

Thank you for your continued support of Findlay Chapter No. 58 and God Bless.

​Greetings Companions:

Findlay Chapter No. 58 is open once again, our first meeting of the year having been on the 4th of September.  We have a great line of Officers who will be working hard to represent the work of the Chapter well and I encourage you to join us when you are able.

Findlay Lodge has seven candidates who are going through the Degrees and I hope that in the future, they will find an interest in the York Rite Bodies.  Should you have any Brother you feel would enjoy taking the Degrees and joining our Chapter, please get a petition to them or encourage them to speak with any of us with any questions.  We want our Chapter to continue and grow; your help is needed to succeed in that desire.

Meetings are on the first Tuesday of each month with a carry-in dinner at 6:30pm in the dining room of the Masonic Complex.  The main course is provided, just bring along a dish of your choice to share.  Family members are always welcome to join us.

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,
Linnville Taggart
