Stated Meetings

September 2015 Stated Meeting – Galveston

Please join your officers on Saturday September 12th in the Egyptian Room of the Galveston Scottish Rite Cathedral (map). The meeting will start at 1pm and will be hosted by Harmony Lodge No. 6.

The September meeting will be held in honor of our Past Masters. I want to encourage all PMs who can to attend and to bring stories from their year to share with the Brethren. According to MW Grand Master Wiggins, the most Past Masters of TLR ever assembled was 14 in Nacogdoches a little over 30 years ago. Let’s see if we can surpass it!

Following the stated meeting, we will have at least one paper presented by PGM David Dibrell on Past Grand Masters who also served as Grand Patrons of the Eastern Star.

Finally, Frontier Lodge No. 28 will provide a historic play on events surrounding the formation of the Republic of Texas. This event is open to all wives and guests.

The Hotel accommodations are at the Double Tree located at 1702 Seawall Blvd, Galveston, TX 77551 (map). Reservations are $159 for a King and $169 for two Queens and can be made by calling 1-800-222-TREE (8733). Please make sure and reference the Group Code C-TRL – Texas Lodge of Research. Reservations must be made by Monday August 17th!
