​Companions,

Congratulations for a fine annual inspection on February 26.  The Select Master degree was portrayed in excellent form for our companion Michael Barringer.  Grand Steward Micheal Terry and Grand King Steve Hill were in attendance.  A sincere thank you to all companions who participated or witnessed this degree.

We will meet the first Tuesday of each month (April 3, May 1, and June 5) before going dark in July and August.  Election of officers for 2018-19 will be at the May meeting.

The Diabetic Kids Fund will receive the benefits of our efforts hosting the I-75 NB rest stop south of Findlay over Memorial Day Weekend.  Please sign up for a 4-hour shift starting Friday May 24th.  Shifts are 2p-6-p:6p-10p: 6a-10a-10a-2p.  We will work until 6p on Memorial Day.  Our camp will be the first weekend of August at Camp Berry just south of Findlay.  Please help in this most worthy cause.

The Northwest Ohio York Rite Festival will be at the Findlay Complex, May 12.  If you know a Mason who would be a worthy candidate for Chapter, Council or Commandery membership please approach and encourage him to fill out a petition for one, two, or all three!

​Companions RAM’s:

Happy New Year!  Every turn of the calendar provides opportunities for the future.  We hope to see each Companion  at our monthly meetings on the first Tuesday, immediately following the Chapter #58 meeting.

Congratulations to all Companions who participated in our portrayal of the Super Excellent Master Degree on November 20.  We received a very positive report from Illustrious Companion J. Michael Lenhart, 2nd Arch Adjutant who reviewed our work.

We will be preparing for our inspection at our January and February meetings.  We will portray the Select Master degree on Monday, February 26, 2018.  Please review your part and be ready to rehearse on January 2 and February 6.

Looking ahead, the Northwest Ohio York Rite Festival will be Saturday May 12, 2018 at the Findlay Masonic Complex.  This is a great time for every Master Mason who is not yet a member of Chapter, Council, or Commandery to receive the degrees/orders on the same day.
We will once again provide refreshments to travelers at the 1-75 rest area south of Findlay over Memorial Day weekend to help fund the Diabetic Kids Fund, which supports the Diabetic Kid’s Camp at Camp Berry in August.

Have a prosperous and safe 2018.

Fraternally
