The “Grand Lodge Listening Tour” became a crucial element and a successful component of M.W. Richard J. Stewart’s term as Grand Master. To continue to demonstrate his dedication to the success of the Craft in the rest of 2013 and beyond, the Grand Master will be visiting a region of the state in each of the next three months to discuss a variety of topics with the membership. |
The focus of this “Mini-Tour” is to demonstrate the importance of fiscal responsibility in our lodges by discussing how lodges and building associations can improve their finances, to continue the conversation about the best approaches to the membership development process, and whatever else the brethren would like to address.
In the last two years, you spoke, and the Grand Master (and his leadership team) have listened. Today, we desire to continue the conversation in order to move the fraternity further along towards its long-term goals.
The Listening Tour stops will each be held at 6:00pm. This event is open to all Massachusetts Masons regardless of degree. Proper dress attire is coat and tie.
The Agenda for each of the tour stops is as follows:
-
6:00pm Welcome
-
6:05pm Grand Master’s Opening Remarks
-
6:15pm Presentation
-
6:30pm Conversation
-
8:30pm Collation
