Dear

All Commandery Recorder must be trained and be
using the Grand Encampment Data Base by September 1, 2010. Therefore I am
holding classes at each Division Conclave for the rest of August. The next class
will be in Covington on Saturday August 14 at the asylum of St. Bernard
Commandery # 25, 1104 Clark St. North Sq. Covington. We will start at 9:00 am
and should be complete by 12:30 pm or so. The other classes will begin at the
same time at the next Division Conclaves. Saturday, August 24th in Albany at the
asylum of St. Paul Commander # 24, 941 18th Ave.Albany, and August 28th in
Newnan at the asylum of Tancred Commandery # 11, 56 Sewell Rd. Newnan.
It
is imperative that you attend one of these classes and start using the system
ASAP. Please remember if you are totally computer illiterate you may appoint
some as an "Assistant Recorder" to assist you with this work.
I look
forward to seeing you or your "Computer Helper Person" at one of these schools.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Andre E Lovas
Congratulations are due to WBro. Rusty Newport
rnewport32@gmail.com on
his Grand Master's Appointment to
President of the Association of Blue Lodge Ambassadors for our Masonic Home of
Georgia.
Those who know WBro. Rusty know that he is a HARD worker and will do an
outstanding job in his new assignment. All Lodges in
Brethren, if your Lodge Ambassador is not keeping you up to date, talk with him
and find out why not. If he is keeping the Lodge up to date, pat him on the
back, Thank him and ask him if he could use some help.
Our Masonic Children's Home is a VERY IMPORTANT part of Georgia Masonry.
Again, congratulations to WBro. Rusty !!!
