2009 Grand Proceedings
The Grand Proceedings from 2009 have been posted in an Adobe Acrobat portable data format (.pdf) file;
click here to read them. This copy has
been redacted to remove the personal contact information of grand officers. We have begun a project to print
the recent years' grand proceedings into .pdf files and post them here. Concurrently, the
Illinois Lodge of Research’s Louis L. Williams Masonic Library has begun
the process of scanning the
Grand Lodge's annual proceedings, and will then proceed to do the same with
the Grand Chapter's. Eventually, we will be able to present you a complete, searchable archive of the proceedings.

Forthcoming
Degree Work
DeKalb Chapter No. 52 will host a capitular festival
on Saturday, 25 September, at the DeKalb Masonic Temple, located at
Fairview Drive & South 4th Street.
Chapters are encouraged to send candidates; a registration fee of US$10.00 per candidate is required to be paid
to DeKalb Chapter. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., with
the degree of Mark Master (4°) to begin at 9:00 a.m. The degrees of
Past Master [Virtual] (5°),
Most Excellent Master (6°), and
Holy Royal Arch Mason (7°)
will follow, along with lunch. Lunch is provided gratis to the candidates; current companions are asked for a US$5.00 donation.
Contact Companion Jim Tome, EGM2V, for more information or to schedule your candidates.
Notice of Degree Work
Most Excellent Grand High Priest Charles R. Horwitz requests chapters to please advise the
Grand Webmaster, the
Grand Secretary, and your
District Deputy Grand High Priest whenever your chapter schedules the conferral of
degrees, either as individual exemplifications, chapter day or as part of a York Rite unity day. This will allow
companions be aware of the upcoming events throughout the state. It will also give them the opportunity to volunteer
their services if needed, support your chapter, and be positive role models for our new candidates. This will also
enable chapter secretaries to contact your chapter and arrange for their candidates to receive the degrees more
promptly than they might otherwise.
Thank you.
KYCH
