15


stars, one for each of our states, stands for loyalty. It is like the blue of theheaven, it is hue blue. It tells the story of men and women who have beenloyal through suffering and hardships, of men and women who have nothesitated at any sacrifice. You herald a noble purpose of a mighty nation,and carry a message of hope and insplratlon to all mankind.

THECANADIANFLAG

In paying tribute to our flag, let us be ever remindful of the many gleatCanadians who through pen and sword passed on to us a heritage of libertyand freedom, Ttre first flags to fly over Canada were the two white standardsof England and of France. Ttre English flag planted by John Cabotin 149?, carried the red cross of St. George. The French flag, plantedby Jaques Cartier in 151t4, had a golden Fleur-De-Lis emblazoned on lt.Our flag has evolved from tbese two banners to this distinctive CanadlanFlag of today; two bars of red and an u pointed red maple leaf, set on afield of white. To Freemasons, the red symbollzes the dauntless courage ofour forefathers, which we attempt to emulate. fire white symbolizes purity,and that blameless purity of conduct to which all Freemasons aspire. To allCanadians, the eleven points of the maple leaf represent the ten provlncesand lerritories of our vast country. fire red symbolizes bravery and valor,and the white, purity and truth. As this flag reflects our nations past, so maywe Canadians all realize the measure of our duty and obligation 0o its future.May our proudest boast be "I am a Canadlan, and this is my flag !"

The Grand Master led in the singing of the Star Spangled Banner and O

GRANDMASTER'SADDRESS

One year ago, being elevated 0o the position of Grand Master of Masonsof Minnesota was the hlghest honor I could ever receive and may I thank mylodge, Hennepin Lodge No. 4 for setting the stage twenty seven years ago,when I was appointed Junior Steward, then becoming Master in 1966. May Ialso thank M.W. D. Williem Tiffany for appointing me a Grand IndgeDistrict Representative in 1968, and most especially ftank M.W. Donald M.Severson for appointing me Grand Pursuivant in 1978, and all of you forelecting and supporting me.

When one realizes that only one Mason becomes Grand Master eachyear, one could then readlly agtee with a Grand Master who said, manyyears ago, "It is mostly by accident that one achieves the rank of GrandMaster," fire year has fleeted by much too rapidly to accomplish the things Ihad hoped to accomplish, and yet with the help of many, we are poised for abright future. This honor has greatly enrlched my life, and given me atremendous insight into the many facets of Masonry. Tturs it is with mixedemotions that I reach the end of my term as Grand Master. First, 0o be

26 GRAND LODGE OF MINNESOTA

relieved of the burdens and responsibilities, and yet, frustrated at not beingable to accomplish all of the things I had set my sights on.

This honor would not have been possible without the many contributionsand efforts of many including the Grand Lodge officers and their ladies whohave never hesitated to go on foot and out of their way, and have glven freelyof their time and resources and without complaint. fitey have unparalleleddedication and devotion Do Masonry, much to offer to the Craft, and mostcertainly deserve your admiration and support.

fire Past Grand Masters have whispered good and timely counsel andgiven support and advice when it was solicited and I thank them.

The Grand Lodge District RepresentaHves and Board of Custodianshave stretched forth their hands to serve and have made our work mucheasier. Many committees have accomp,lished their various tasks and I thankthem for their help, aid, and assistance.

Our Grand Secretary, R.W. Raymond E. Schlemmer, and his capableoffice staff, Tess, Jan, and Ruth have given freely of their talents and madeour way much easier too, and I thank them for their faithful service.

firose who have given most are my family, my wife Pat who has madeMasonry her life too, accompanied me many thousands of miles, drivtng dayand night, and living Masonry as much as any Mason, and yes, more thanmany. I would like 0o take this opportunity to thank her, my son John anddaughter Lisa, as well as the many others who have worked in the

"vineyards" to make Masonry "A Way of Life."

Statc of the CraftThe distressing loss of membership has continued to plague almost all

Grand Jurisdictions, Minnesots included. lhe reasons are many and thesolutions complex. Included are a lack of commitment by many Masons tolive by our tenets and teachings. Some Lodge officers cannot be counted onto perform their assigned duties and obligations. Many members are notinterested in lodge activities.

Numbers alone is not, snd should not be our goal, and yet "quality in'stead of quantlty" doesn't give a base to operate from. ,14re must hlvenumbers, as from these numbers come the small percentage of workens. lVemust each do ou part to help make Masonry a vlsible and a viable force inour respective communities.

I was invtted snd felt privileged 0o attend many upbeat Lodge events thisyear in Minnesota. Many of our Lodges had a progFam for our departedBrothers' widows, scholarship programs and dinners for our youth,


recognition and award events for their members, and programs that in-cluded visitors. All these activities had something in common, they had to beplanned, someone had to do somethlng, and that something was work, oftenhard work, and many workers were involved. firese are commoningredients to make activities successful.

Many of our standing committees met as required to be of service toMasonry. Other committees did not meet, and the activity suffered as aconsequence. A special membership committee was formed and was ofgreat service to me and to Masonry, and I thank each member for his ser-vice. It was from this committee that the Advances were planned. MasonicOpen house planned, some todge visits origina0ed, ideas came forth, andperhaps most importantly, support for the Grand Master in his decisions.

Masonlc RellefMasons are charged to "relleve the distressed" and our several cor-

porations are excelling in this endeavor. Our Masonic Home is an excellenthome for our aged and deserves all the support we can give it individuallyandcollectively. Our dwindling membership is reflecting on admissions andthis should be a concern of all Masons.

lhe Masonlc Memorial Fund is another very charitable en-deavor of Minnesota Masons and has also resulted in a very good image forMasonry. Our Minnesota Masonic Foundation was formed some years agoas a tax exempt charity. It has slowly been funded, and although muchfunding remains to be accomplished, the Foundation now gives scholarthipsto our youth, and help in our program for diabetic youth.

A program of the Conference of Grand Masters is just getting startedand it too deserves our support and our contrlbutions. firis proglam is called"The Nadonal Masonic Foundation For The Prevention of Drug and AlcoholAbuse Among Children." Certainly this manner of helping our youth isworthy of a 'ontribution. You will hear more on this later.

Our Esoterlc WorkMasonic ritual has occupied an lmportant part of Masonry through the

years, however, at times the manner of presentlng the teachings and tenetsof Masonry becomes more important than the lessons themselves. It was mypleasure to attend some excellent degrees durlng the year. Sad to say, somedegtees were not performed as a candldate for degrees, ae well as the otherin attendance, have the right to expect. I authorized several "DegreeTeams" to put on the Degrees durlng the year. This activity not only broughtexcellent degree work to a Lodge, but an opportunity for more involvement.It is gomewhat of a paradox to expect a degtee team to be exhemely com-petent and certified, but not our Lodger. Perhaps all degree work shouldregulre a certification by a member of the Board of Custodians to properlypresent the Degrees of Masonry.


Our monitor program has not kept pace with our needs. I had hoped thata program to develop monitors could be developed by holding classes formonitors in various parts of the sta0e with encouragement for those in-terested in becoming a monitor. the name monitor does not describe theposition very approprtately in any case and could be changed to reflect theduties of this important trust.

I had occasion to issue an edict concerning our ritual work. fire edictreinforced the concept of the symbolism in the degrees of Masonry, andespecially the penal portion of the obligation. Every candida0e for eachdegree was also informed that should he not llve up to the obllgations and theduties of Masons, Masonic code dictates either reprlmand, suspension, orexpulsion for conviction of unmasonic conduct,

Unmasonlc ConductThis Grand Lodge year has not been without caseE of unmasonic con-

duct. firese caEeE are particularly dibtressing in that some members apparently do not feel that the teachings and tenets of Masonry apply to themand to today's soclety. Perhaps they were not investigated properly upontheir application for the Degrees of masonry. Six members were expelled,one suspended for one year, one reprimanded, and charges are pendingagainst two more members.

Those memb€rs expelled are:Robert E. Howe, Anoka No. 30

Rodney A.E. Johnson, Hallock No. 212

Jerry Lee Searles, Montgomery No. 258

Jon Sabo, Moorhead No. 1?I|

Loren D. Klein, Monticello No. 16

Ronald B. Will6y, Quarry No. 148

Swpended for one year:Elmer A. Anderson, Moorhead No. 126

Reprimanded:Donn Bruess, Keystone No. 94

During the year a question arose concernlng the use of a symbol of ane of Minnesota in connection ryithon Juriaprudence declded thd't it

was against the intent of the Code, thus I wrote 0o the Scottish Rlte and theGrand Commandery in regards to the use of their logos in the Visa Cardprogram. This interpretation of our Code and the divided oplnions indica0esa need for a thorough review of our Code and a codification that wlll make iteasier 0o work with and updated to our present needs and requirements.


Grand Master's VlsltsBesides visiting many of our Indges and six Workshops, I attended nine

other Grand Lodge Communications, the Conference of Grand Masters, theImperial Shrine Session, the Biennium of the Ancient and Accepted ScottishRite, Southern Jurisdiction, the Midwest Conference of Masonic Education,and a number of other Masonically affiliated bodies. All these visitationswere indeed a pleasure, an opportunity to exchange ideas, and to learn moreabout Masonry.

The mood in most other Grand Jurlsdlctions is "change." Not for changesake, butwe must tell the story of Masonry. Public relations programs musttell others what Masons are, what they do, and how they help the com-munities. fire Grand Indge of Minnesota paid for ninety six "radio spots" tobring ourmessage tio the citizens of Minnesota, and to help Masons feel good

about Masonry. firese spots on Masonry were very well received.

It is distresslng that some elements within the Ancient Arabic Order,Nobles of the Mystic Shrine feel that in order for the Shrine to survlve, theprerequisite of Masonic membership must be removed. A resolution to thiseffect was defeated by a two-thirds majority vote at the Imperlal session inJune 198?. However, a resolution was passed at the same session that wouldallow a Shriner stricken from Masonry for any reason' other than non'payment of dues, to appeal to the Imperial Shrine for contlnuation of hisShrine membership. All Grand Masters at the Conference of Grand Mastens(58) supported a resolution to the Shrine to rescind this action of the Shrineas being "detrimental to the existence and growth of all Masonic Bodiesincluding the Shrine."

Our ProgramsMasonic educadon is also recognlzed as one of our greatest needs. Both

tlte education of Masons in Masonry and the education of the general publicto counter the critics of Masonry. An informed public would tend to ignorethe critics of Masonry. Masons educated in Masonry would know what couldbe said instead of saying nothing about Masonry.

M.W. Donald T[. Sether initiated "Minnesota Masonlc Open House"during his term as Grand Master. This one ldea has spread to other GrandJurisdictions as well as being continued in Minnesota. Many of the Masons inMinnesota have seized this opportunity to bring potential Magons to theirLodge as their guest and then tell them whatMasonry is.

On a very positive note, the Grand todge Off,cers of Minnesota met onfour occasions with Brother Paul S. Anderson, a consulting soclologist,calling the meetings the "Advances." Membership statistics, numbers ofLodges, and other information was carefully reviewed and charted.Problems faclng Masonry were listed and prioritized. In succeedlng Ad'


vances, task forces, or teams were developed to form actlon plans. fite fiveseparate task forces formed were l) Administrative Organizations, 2)Public Relations, 3) Communcladons, 4) Masonology, or MasonicEducation, and 5) Masonic Philosophles and Phllanthropies.

Few resoluHods have been presented at this Annual Communication, thereason for so few is that as a result of the "Advances," the Grand lndgeOfficers and others realize that our Code has been changed so many timesthat it is not only in conflict with our goals, but in conflict wlth ltself.

Granil Master'g Recommeryilatlons,

My recommendadons to this Grand Lodge are:

1) Review our Masonic Code to make it amenable to present day needs.

2) Strongly encourage Masonic educadon to our members.

3) Develop and shongly encourage programs for our Indges that in'clude our families.

4) Develop a program 0o encourage and hain Monitors of the work.

5) Support the program, "Nafional Masonlc Foundadon For fitePrevention of Drug and Alcohol Abuse Among Children."

6) Encourage interaction and cooperadon between all the Masonicorganizations.

?) Obtain property for a Grand lodge office containlng adequate spacefor all operations, a library, meetlng room and mugeum.

s) Add another Mason on the staff to asslst the Grand Master in hisduties and !o coordinate activities of Cugtodlans, Dishict Representativesand Educational activlties.

9) Elect the Deputy Grand Master as Grand Master-Elect, so he canplan his term as Grand Master appropriately.

In conclusion and again, may I thank all who have asslsted rfie, workedwith me in any way, encouraged me, and who have labored selflessly in the

"vineyards" for our Great Fraternity !o make Masonry - A Way of Life.

Grand Lodge.

fire Grand Master announced that of the 221 Chartered Lodges, 186 had

fire Grand Chaplain, Worshipful Brother Marvin H. Rosenwinkel, was

called on for the Memoriel Service.

MEMORIALSERVTCEMarvln H. Rosenwhkel, Grand Chaplaln

Most Worshipful Grand Master, Brothers all:

breath of life; and man became a living soul."

fire mortal frames of our Bretlren have been laid to rest in MotherEarth. lheir souls live on in eternity. A door swurg briefly open, and a loved


one slipped away, stepped smiling through lifes' shadow, into the brighteternal day, where earthly grief is forgotten and where pain shall be no

more. To peace, past understanding, God opened wide the door.

Because Masonry and Religion parallel each other in so many ways' wefinally found the answer, the ultimate

ou most desire?" when they answeredof Masonry. From time immemorlal

death, but have notave been given that, Seneca, more thans our last is but the

birthday of eternlty." What a pleasant wgy of looking at death. fitecelebration of birth, rather than a sorrow of finality. Our life didn't beginwith birth, it is not of the earth, and tlris that we call death, it is no more thanthe opening and closing of a door.

One of the great gifts of God is the gift of memory. As most of us hereassembled knew many of our departed Brethren as dear friends, they willindeed be cherished in our memory bank. Our Brothers are today in the

presence of God. As it happened to our Brothers, so will it happen t'o us. We

are all but a heartbeat away from standing in the presence of God. Are we

ready to face this reality?

Ttre Holy Bible 0eaches ds "You shall love the Lord, your God, with allyour heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all yourstrength. firis is the First Commandment, and the Second is this: you shallloveyour neighbor as yourself." There are no other commandments greater

than these. Let each one of us good Masons who believe in God live thebalance of our lives in such a way that will be pleasing unto our God, andwith all that is in us praise his Holy Name. I,et us also, as we profess as

taught by our respective religious instltutions, and by our Masonic

teachings.

At the close of life the question will be not how much you have got, buthow much you have given; not how much you have won, but how much have


you done; how much have you served, not how much have you been honored.Victor Hugo has said, "When I go down to the grave I can say like manyothers, I have finished my days work, but I can not say I have finished mylife. My days work will begin again in the morning. fire tool is not a blindalley, it is a thoroughfare, iC closes on the twilight, it opens on the dawn. "

Let us please rise and pray.

Oh God, give us the strength that we may take up our lives more bravelyand seek to be more faithful in duty, and more loving and helpful to othersfor the sake of those who are witl us no longer on earth. Send us back to thedaily round of duties, eager to do Thy will. As in the presence of death, welearn to know the deeper meaning of life. And when we are called to leavethis world of love and beauty, of joy and sorrow, may we be ready to meettlnse who have passed within the vail. To firee, our Father, be all the gloryforever.

Grand Master Hultquist called on Most Worshipful Brother Richard E.Fletcher, Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Vermont, and ExecutiveSecretary-Treasurer of the Masonic Service Association. Brother Fletcherspoke of the various programs offered by MSA and congratulated PGMArchibald Duncan, newly elected Chalrman of the Commissioners of theMSA, and Brother Ted Gutl, Field Agent, in charge of the VA HospitalVisitadon Program at Minneapolis. Brother Fletcher also acknowledged theexcellent financial support the Masons of Minnesota have always given tothe Hospital Visitation Program.

The Grand Master asked the District Representatives and theCustodians of the Work to retire for presentation by the Grand Marshal.

Most Worshipful Brother Otis H. Godfrey, Jr., P.G.M. and Chalrman ofthe Jurisprudence Commlttee, was called on to present the preltminaryreport of the Committee. Following its presentaHon, a motion was made toaccept the preliminary report as presented. fire motion was seconded andcarried.


-r. PRELIMINARY REPORT OF THE JURISPRUDENCE COMMITTEE

March 25, 1088

To the Most Worshipful Grand Master and Bretltrenr

This is the preliminary report of the Jurisprudence Committee. TheJurisprudence Committee has reviewed all of the resolutions submitted tothe Grandlodge, andhas only one comment relative to any possible conflictor changes, that being as to Resolution No. 2, 1988, Endowment Fund.

In the opinion of the Jurisprudence Committee, thls resolution wouldappear to be a change, and possibly be in conflict with Article 7, Section 2.,15

of the Constitution; also with Article 3, Section 8.17 of the GeneralRegulations dealing wift recelpts of monies by the Grand Indge; and withStanding Resolution, Section 4.11, dealing with custodian services for in-vestment securities.

firere are no other specific code conflicts with the other resolutions,previous Resolution No. 2, 1988, having been withdrawn.

REPORT OF THE MINNESOTA MASONIC FOUNDATION. INC.

Most Worshipful Grand Maeter, members of the Grand Lodge llne,Dlstlnguished Guests, Brethren all:

Once again it is my privilege, on behalf of the Board of Directors of theMinnesota Masonic Foundation, to report to you regarding the activities ofour Foundation for the preceeding year.

The year 1987 was an exciting and productive year for us. Our assetsgrew from $182,658.13 to a year end total of $316,392.85. firere are tlose of youthat deal in percentages, and that is a growth factor of 73.2 percent. Ourcontributions this year came from:

Individuals 1'5?2'00

Organizations..... ..,'..100,969.00WillsandEstates.... 3,000.00

CardPromotion.... ...'. 21,479.50

Investments .... 16,387.87

TOIIAL .143,408.37

Most Worshipful Grand Master, on behalf of the Board of Direcbors, Iwant to acknowledge your personal efforts and support 0o our organization,and thank you, and the Corporate Board for your most timely support.

Our programs in 1987 were designed to help the local Lodges helpthemselves, and to help you to get involved. We endeavored to do this withmatching fund programs. firese programs were and are deslgned to aid youin your local community programs on a request basis. fite cunent programsare: Scholarships, Food Shelf Contribudon Programs, and of course, theDiabetes Education Ouheach Program and the placement of gloucosemonitors in the local schools.

Generally, and briefly, I'll just outline these programs. For Scholar-ships, the matching funds are made available 0o those Indges that want 0o

set up their own local scholarship awards. fite Foundation will provide up toS2Oo.oo per Lodge on a one for one matching basis. there are certainregulations, and we must meet those. I'd suggest that if you are interested,stop by our booth in the lobby and pick up more information, and also pick upan application form if you wish to apply.

The second program is for the purchasing and placing of gloucose, orblood sugar, monitors in the local schools. Ttris program is again on a one forone basis, and it's designed to assist the local lodges in getting involved intleir communities. The program is in conjunction with the efforts of theInternational Diabetes Center and the Diabetes in Youth Committee's


program. Both have information at their booths in the lobby area. There arealso application forms available for these matching funds.

The third active program 0oday is the Food Shelter Program. As manyof you know, the Foundation has supported Minnesota Food Shelvesprograms for a number of years, since 19?9. We've done that again, throughlocal Lodges, and our preferred method is on a one for one basis with thelocal Lodges, However, we have made direct grants to the North CentralFood Bank and other organizations. Again, these are available and in-formation is at our booth.

This year, 1988, we are again supporting the Grand Lodge ScholarshipProgram. Two of the 21 scholarships that will be presented tonight at thebanquet were provided by the Minnesota Masonic foundation. Hey guys, thisis your Foundation, your money, and it's at work right here in Minnesota.You'll see it 0onight.

In 19?0 a group of very dedicated Minnesota Masons formed thisFoundation as an educational, scientific, and charitable fund. I'd like tothink of those early formers of this Foundation as vislonaries. I know theycould see where we were going. In any event, these men sent out letters, tleywrote articles for the Minnesota Mason, they gave speeches, they gavereports, they traveled around Minnesota, hying to promote the MinnesotaMasonic Foundation. But they didn't have much luck at first. They justdidn't get your attention. Not because they didn't try, but because theMasons of Minnesota at that time didn't respond. As a result it took 18 yearsto develop an endowment fund of $300,000,00. The Foundation is'not like theHospital or the Home. fire Hospital and Home you can put your armsaround, you can feel it, you can see it. Don't misunderstand me, we wantyou to support the Hospital and the Home. In fact, we as a Foundation, ac'tually solicit your support for those organizations, but we want you to sup'port us also. Just because you can't feel us doesn't mean that we aren't ef-fective and active on your behalf.

In 1988 many of you in this room, with regard to the Foundation, didn'tknow "who comes here" or "from whence we came or whether we were

letter informed each we

asked that you reply we

alsoinformedyouin v€'letters were mailed, 17'018urn ratio. Of the 17,018 thatd favorably, and you con'


tributed favorably. Only 3,(X)8 people said no, that's 18 percent. And ob-viously there were those of you who didn't like the program. Some of you toldus, and some indica0ed you were unhappy. Now, to those people we say weare sorry. We didn't mean to offend anybody, and we did warn you in theinitial mailing of the program. But also keep in mind that 82 percent of thoeeresponding, 14,010 people, Minnesota Masons, said yes, we are in favor ofthat program. It was a very good program, and to those who contributed andmade this a successful program, we say thank you, thank you very much.fire two scholarships that I mentioned earller are the first of the moniesgenerated by the program to be used, and they are going to be used righthere tonight, in the state of Minnesota, by Minnesota students.

Not the last, but the Foundation is ln gearch of a person tro serve ag anExecutive Director. We see this tndividual in a part time position, suitedvery nicely to an individual recently retlred, or to one in a position to devote20 to 25 hours a week to our endeavorg ln tlte Foundation. Any of you that areinterested, or knou' of someone that mtght be interesled, we'd like to hearfrom you. Please stop by the booth again and talk to a member of theFoundation.

In closlng, Most Worshipful Grand Master, we want to thank you, andthe Minnesota Masons, for your support, and we ask for your contlnuedsupport. Our plan is to continue the programs we have in place, and to in-tensify our efforts to get the local lodges involved. You may be assured thatour efforts, those of the Foundation, sre, and will continue to be in keeplngwith the basic tenets of our great Masonic Fraternity.

Respectfully and fralernally submitted,Richard E. ThompsonPresidentMinnesota Masonic Foundation. Inc.

Respectfully submitted,Fred B. Vihovde, Grand Treasurer

The Grand Secretary, Right Worshipful Brother Raymond E.Schlemmer, presented the Report of the Grand Secretary, and the Auditor'sreport for the year ended February 29, 1988. Upon a motion made andseconded, the reports were adopted.


REPORTOF TIIE GRAND SECRETARY

March 1, 198? to February 29' lgEE

Tothe Most Worshlpful Grand Lodge A.F' & A'M' of Mlnnesota:

I have the pleasure of presenting the annual report of the Grand

Secretary for the fiscal year ending February 29' 1988'

Proceedlngs, Communlcatlons, Comnrlsslons' etc'

commissions were issued as necessary and with the direction of the

Most WorshiPful Grand Master.

Returns

of February 29' 1988.


The following Lodges owed either per capita dues or raising fees at theclose of the fiscal year: Mt. Tabor Indge No. 106, $36.00; Josephus Lodge No.128, $18.@; cokato Lodge No. 134, $522.(x); llacy lodge No. 155, $774.00;Geneva Lodge No. 196, $9.(X); Murray Iodge No. 199, $16.(X); Atelier IndgeNo. 202, $603.00; Lincoln Lodge No. 226, $477.(}0; Coteau Iodge No. 244,

$110.00; Compass Lodge No. 265, $9.00; Bryn Mawr Lodge No. 325, $1557.00;Mt. Moriah Lodge No. 327, $261.00; Edina Lodge No. 343, $32.00.

It does create a serious burden on the Grand Lodge office when theAnnual Returns are late andor incomplete. In most cases the lodges didn'tdo anything anyway, so it is difficult to understand why the returns can't bein on time.

Bond and lnsurance

The Grand Ircdge arranged through Travelers Insurance Co' to providePublic Uability, Building Liability, Medical Payment, EmployeeDishonesty, and Paraphernalia coverages for the Grand Lodge and allconstituent todges that wished to participa0e. At present there are 2? Iodgesparticipating in the program. firis group policy is issued in the name of theGrand Lodge and the Constituent lodges as scheduled.

both in balance. The complete financial report will be printed in its entiretyin the Proceedings of this Communication. Please be assured that thegeneral operating expenses of your Grand Iodge are watched verycarefully. We are here to manage the funds that have been entrusted to ourcare, and we hope that we have been of the best possible service to you.

VlsltatlonsAs Grand Secretary, I have had the opportunity to visit numerous areas

of the state to share in a wide variety of Masonic Activities. This pastFebruary I was privileged 0o attend the Grand Master's-Grand Secretaries'Conference in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, along with Grand Master Hultquist,Deputy Grand Master Bouschor, Senior Grand Warden Sonsteby, and PastGrand Master Arch Duncan, and our ladies. I also attended the AnnualCommunicgtions of North Dakota, Manitoba and Wisconsin. It is mostbeneficial to share views with others having the same concerns as we, andI'm grateful to have had the oppoitunity.

Grand Lodge Offlce

The office of Grand Secretary is an administrative position in whichsupportive service is rendered to the Grand Master, Grand lodge Officers,Committees and Boards, District Representatives, Custodians, Officers andBrethren of Constituent Lodges, as well as other Jurisdictions and Ap-pendent Bodies.

It has been an exhemely busy year, partly due to the installation of thecompuber system. We have a way to go yet before we are fully compuierized,and we beg your indulgence. fire cooperation of the Grand Master, theGrand Lodge Officers, D.R.'s, Custodians, committee members, and theLodge Secretaries has been excellent, and we in the office extend our thanks.

I also extend my thanks to Tess Sterba, Jan Giron, and Ruth Pom-merening for their dedicated loyalty and cooperatibn. Without them it allcouldn't have happened,

As the Grand Secretary, I probably work as closely with the GrandMaster as any one, and this year, working with you, Grand Master Ralph,and your lady Pat, has been most enJoyable. Your enthusiasm, in-novativeness, and dedication to Masonry have been an inspiration to all.Thank you.

Ithas been my pleasure to serve as your Grand Secretary, and I thankyou for the trust you have shown me by electing me to this office. It ls one Iregard highly, and with great respect and humility.

Fraternally submitted,Raymond E. SchlemmerGrand Secretary

we have examined the statenent of assets, liabiliLiesand fund bal.ances (on a modified cash basls) of The crand Lodge

of A.F. & A,M. of }tinnesota as of February 29r 1988r and the

related statemenbs of cash receipts and expenditures and changes

ln fund balances for the year then ended. our examlnation was

made in accordance vrith generally accepted auditing standards

and, accordinglyl lncluded such tests of the accounEing records

and such other audlting procedures as we considered necessary in

the circumstances.

As described in Not,e I' hhe Lodgets pollcy is to prepare

its flnanclal staLements on ,a modlfled cash receipbs and expendi-

tures baslsi conaequently, certaln revenue and the related assecs

are recognized nhen recelved rather than when earnedl and certain

expenses are-recognized when pald rather than when the obllgabion

ls lncurred. Accordinglyl the acconpanying flnanclal statenents

are noh intended to present financial posltlon and results of oper-

atlons ln confornlty wtth generally accepted accountlng principles.

In our opinion, the financlal staternents referred ho

above presenL fairly the assets, liabiliCies and fund balances

arising from a modified cash basis of accountlng of The Grand

76 GRAND LODGE OF MINNESOITA

Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota aa of Februaty 29. L988.. and the

ADDRESS TO MINNESOTA GRAND LODGEMarch 25, l0Et

It is significant that our legendary hero'every day at noon when the bright light moweaknesses in the structure. At thls momentis even more significant for us that he did not hesitate to draw new designs

on the trestleboard to remove defects and strengthen the buildlng. It is now

ourgelves the truth, even if the huth hurts.

However glorious its past, Freemasonry tnday shows signs of decay.

The most obvious ts the decline in membership which is hue for alljurisdictions. That decline will even accelerate as the average age of ourmembers approaches the end of mortaltty tables' The number who elect not

to progress to the next degree is slgniflcant. Those who drop their mem-bership by nonpayment of dues is also important. Many are the reult ofprocrastination or inadvertence but some are men who were once interestedenough to take the degrees and learn the posting lectures, but who no longerconsider the organization worth annual dues which in most cases arehifling. fire decline in membership is even more telling because it is oc-curring in a time of relative prosperity, increasing population, and whenmen have more time for leisure activitles. Even more disturbing is thescarcity of attendance at our meetings. Except for exhaordinary functions,few lodges can boast an attendance of 5 percent of their members. Does thatnot mean that the other 95 percent are voting by their absence that themeetings are not worth their time? Many can testify to the reluctance ofqualified members to start through the progfesslve officer line. Althoughsome of these potential officers are unable to accept many simply prefer notto do so. Others can testify as to meetings whlch are poorly conducted andstill others about officers who neither know the work well nor propose tolearn it. Truly, a malaise grips the fraternlty and like Masonry itself thatmalaise is universal. Masons from Europe and Canada as well as all parts ofthe U.S. report the same problems. It ls small comfort that otherorganizations also complain of many of the same symptoms.

If we shrug off the symptoms aB "only temporary" we run the risk thatwe will discover too late that they were permanent after all. fite risk isgreat because degeneration feeds on ltself. It produces a vicious circle; poorat0endance, fading enthusiasm, and declinlng morale lead to ptnr programsand shoddy performance which in turn cauEe ever greater declines; failuresbreed apathy and a sense of defeat which produce ever greater failures.

Why this decline? Why the lack of interest? What do men want andexpect from Masonry? What should the fraternity give them? What are wetrying to achieve? A few Grand Lodges have attempted surveys to get an-swers to these questions but the surveys have generally been in the form ofquestionaires 0o loyal and dedlcated memberg and have not touched thebored, the disaffected, the disillusioned. They have amounted to a sermonpreached to the choir. Nevertheless, the answers which were obtained,sketchy though they were, give some clue 0o the role whlch Masonry shouldplay now and in the future. they suggest that men want, and Masonry should

$ve them, an opportunity for fellowshlp; for educafion, particularly in theirrelation to God, their fellow man, and thetr institutions; and for a means todecide and take action on important current issues. Our problem lies in thefailure of Masonry to fulfill this misgion. It does not compete effectively formen's minds and souls. Although parts of our degreea are inshuctive andinpressive, far too much consists of Vague generalities couched in archaiclanguage and offering as the final word knowledge which is antiquated, Letme illushate whet I mean.


fire lectures which most lodges use were written in his spare time byWilliam Preston, a London printer, who finished them in 1772. For the mostpart those lectures are given today exactly ag Preston wrote and illustrat€dthem 2N years ago. Are the lectures as relevant today as they were then? Inhis little book "The Philosophy of Masonry" Roscoe Pound, a brllllantscholar, Harvard law professor, and a Mason explained that Preston in-tended his lectures to teach Masons all the knowledge of his time. fitey wereto be, and are, a compendium of 18th century learning couched in the floweryand elegant language then in style. For example, Preston thought Masonsshould know something about architecture so he included a descriptlon offive different Greek and Roman columns which he said comprised the fiveorders of architecture. His lectures taught physiology by describing fivesenses of human nature. He talked about the liberal arts and sciences andabout a geometry problem solved by an ancient Greek named Euclid. InPreston's tlme few men went to school so he turned Masonic Indges intoclassrooms where he taught men not Just ethics, rellglon and humanrelations, but also astronomy, music, arlthmetic and so on. In his day thelectures were useful. Are they today? How relevant is a recital about Greekand Roman columns in a world which knows of structural steel, prestressedconcrete, skyscrapers and suspension bridges? Of what use it is to talk ofhearing, seeing and so on to an era whlch knows of radar, electronmicroscopes, and Geiger counters? Why do we talk only of Euclid to menwho know about Einstein? I shall not belabor the point. The questions an-swer themselves. Wehave gone blithely along giving 20th century audiencessamples of 18th century learning with the solemn assurance that it is thefinal - if not the latest - word. Is it any wonder that we are slipping in thecompetition for men's minds and souls? It might be said that the 2llth cen-tury will discover and join Masonry only when Masomy discovers and ioinsthe 20th century.

Antiquated inshuction is not the only problem. Our degrees seldom tellus how to reconcile duty to others with duty to oneself nor how to practicebrotherly love in a modern urban commercial society which is becomingprogressively more materialistic and lmpersonal. For example, werecognize a duty io keep the secrets of a Master Mason when communicatedto, and recelved, in confidence, At the same time we recognize a higher dutyto society to disclose those secrets at least when they involve murder andheason. Our lectures or other instruction do not explain why the llne isdrawn there. And as a matter of law confidential communications from oneMason to another are not protected and even in cases which do not lnvolvemurder and heason the Mason will be required to testify ln court in violadonof his Masonic promise or rlsk court sanctlone for contempt. Our lecturesand other inshuction do not help us reconcile possible confllcts in our dudesto God and nation. The movie "Judgment at Nuremburg" many yeatt agoexamined the question: When doe duty 0o manktnd and humanity and Godsupersede duty to Nation? Because we. pledge our-selveg as Masons to bothGod and Nation is it not proper for us to explore where the line is?

95


Ironcially, "success" in grinding out degrees repeatedly carries wtth itthe seeds of failure because excesslve repetition not only bores the membersbut also thwarts their opportunity for socializing. We offer very little to abrother once he has taken the degrees and proved up. lVe treat his trans-formation as the end rather than the beginning. Our stated meetingsusually consist of little more than the opening and closing, reading ofminutes, approval of bills and perfunctory committee reports. Ourprograms avoid vital toplcs and current issues because they may be con'troversial. This leaves us with the nagging suspicion that we dishust theability of our members to discuss controversial matters objectively.Masonic relief of members and their widows and family has faded in im-portance and welfare programs have preempted the field. We are left with afeeling that Masonry is driffing airnlessly. Most important of all, we feelhelpless to do anything to improve the situation. An attltude prevails tltatany change would violate "ancient landmarks" although they have neverbeen defined. We have become hostages to the fetish that there can be noinnovation in Masonry, notwithstandlng the fact that the hansforming fromoperative to speculadve Masonry was a profound and life*aving innovation.

In order to determine precisely what functions tle fraternity shouldperform for its members and prospective members we should ask themwhat they want and expect from Masonry. fite inqutry must not be llmited tothe dedicated few but must ferret out frank answerE from thos€ whom weparticularly want as members who obviously wtll include leaders in thecommunity whom the public respects and admires. this will requlre a hulyrepresentative sunvey, probably done with professional help.

In additlon, Masonry should study the role which it can play effectivelyin modern society. Ttris will involve the questlon of what humanity, socletyand the country need from such an institution. In history Freemasonry was akey player in the hansition from absolu0e monarchies to representadvegovernments. In America Freemasonry contributed mightily !o thatprocess. I believe humanity and the country are once agatn looklng for thekind of leadership the fraternity provided in its glory days. As an apostle ofcivil and rellgious liberty and of human brotherhood Masonry should beunlquely equipped to provide that kind of leadership once again. In fact,Scottish Rite for the Soutlern Jurisdiction has provlded, and continues toprovide, that public service as guardian of the constitudonal guarantier ofrellgious liberty. Masonry is just now embarking nadonally on an ambltlousattack on the drug problem in Amerlca. We need to do more and partlcularlyin programs which will involve participation by all of our members. We mayneed the professional asslstance of soclologists to show us where thefraternity is needed by society and how our members may be used ef-fectively in public interest proJects.


Various Grand lodgeg and some appendant bodies have from tlme totime directed their at0ention to this subject but there has not previously beena concerted reappraisal of where Masonry ls and where it is going done on anational scale by all branches of Masonry, including the major appendantbodies, Scottish Rite, York Rite, and the Shrine, I'm glad to report 0o youthat such effort is now under way. It will be done under the aegis of scottishRite which is organized on a national basis. A special task forcl of D bo tE isbeing assembled to brainstorm precisely what can and should be done toreviCalizp the fra0ernity. Scottish Rite has appropriated $25,000 to aid itswork and additional financial support is promised by the Shrine. Ttre taskforce will meet in mid-July in Kansas Clty to begin its work. fire task force isbeing kept small to be manageable but will be representative of the entirefraternity. It will consist of leaders representative of both Scottish Ritejurisdictions, York Rite, the Shrine, and Grand Iodges noted for theirprogressive leadership. Ttre task force wlll attempt to ask and either answeror at least dlscuss every question which ought 0o be asked concerning thedestiny of the fraternity. Those questions will include those posed earlier inthis talk and also such questions as these: Is a large membership self-defeating or should we make a conscioug effort to make Masonry moresglec_tive and perhaps even exclusive? If a small selective membership isthe objective, how do we get the community leaders in polltics, buslness, thearts and the professions to join us? Ttrhat specifically can we offer ourexisting members which will stimulate their interest enougb to particlpate?What kinds of public interest programs will our members want to becomeinvolved in? How can rituals be enriched to make them an attraction formembers' attendance? What do we really mean by ,,fellowship?" Does amember truly want other brothers to concern themselves with his problemsor will he view that concern as interference or meddling? Obviously, thereare many questions to be asked.

It must be emphasized that although those who have volunteered for thistask force recognize the problems facing the fraternlty, many of which Ihave outlined earlier in this talk, their acknowledgement of the existence ofthe present malaise should not be considered as pessimlsm or defeatism -qulte the conhary, none would have volunteered if he felt the situafion washopeless.

Potentially, great things are possible from this special task foree. But inggling to adaptupon tlre abtlitytheir own self-

things we have!

And we are not to be selfish men, but rather . . . sharing men !

t what I would offer thlsorientdgroups...thea80ns. . .

As for the Masons: Let's first get rid of that noun L And we might also

consider at the same time getting rid of the personal pronouns me' me' me'r1}|r l1}'r my, mlne, mlne, mlne! And then there is the ubiquotous pronoun'


they. fire use of pronouns often tends to undermine the spirit of unity andmutual responsibility that Masonry must have. As we learn about humanfrailties, and yes, imperfections, that can plague our fraternity, there is atendency to associate responsibility with they, often implicating the GrandLodge officers.

Would that the Grand Masonic pronoun be we! When our (Masonic)forefathers set our course, the pronoun of choice was we. "We hold thesetruths to be self evident." From the Declaration of Independence: "Wemutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor."And in these last months in celebrating tlte Bicentennial of our Constitution,how many times has each of us read and said: "We the people of the UnitedStates . . . to form a more perfect union . . . establish justice . . . insuretranquility . . . provide defense . . . secure liberty . . ."

We must all work together. lVhatever we as a Fraternity are, or are not .

. . wha0ever we in our Council of Administrations do, or fail to do, we areresponsible. Whatever we do, let us not give up individual participation.

At Ttinity College a few years ago a football player was selected "AllAmerican". firat was something very special for so small a school. Neverbefore such an honor, so a symbol of the occasion was carved on the end ofone of the pews in the school chapel. When the filure was unveiled, therewas great surprise. No all American crashing over the goal line for a touch-down, but rather, the carved figure was that of a lineman on the bench with a

towel pulled over his head. He was far from being that "All American".But without him . , . and tlte otler team members like him . , . there wouldhave been no All American from little Trinity College. We wtll not give upparticipation.

In roles of leadership and individual participation:

So how do we best get along with the business of the Administration ofthe Grand Lodge of Minqesota and our individual Blue todges? We mustlabor in such a manner that ". . . neither envy, discord nor confusion aresuffered to interrupt (our) peace and tranquility. . ." We must recognize: itdoesn't pay 0o be sensitive; he who loses his temper. . . loses out; carrying achip on the shoulder is a sure way to get into a fight; the quickest way to getinto trouble is to carry tales, to gossip; buck passing is a boomerang; theFraternity could, c8n, would, and will run very well without me; it mattersnot who gets the credlt, as long as the job gets done; holding resentment istoo costly in nervous energy and comparing ourselves to others means wewill be either vain or bitter.

We must recognize that because of dislike for compromise andordirection, one could find himself working alone. Much of the strain on men in

101


organizations is due to the fact tlat so much they work at and plan is subJect

to discussion and even dismissal by others. Ttreir pet project on which theyhave labored so hard and so long may be trorn to pieces or done over or evenhanded to someone else . . . or even scrapped! fite wise man who works in agroup must learn to take disappointments philosophically, even when heknows he is right . . . and they are wrong.

On leadership and success: How we act within and without the Fra-ternity will mean our success. ltVho have we brought into the Fraternity? Idon't mean by being a petition signer. I mean: who have we brought into theMasons . . . because of the waY we act?

The story is told of six men on a minlng expedition in the west. fitey hadworked a miuntain for some time without success' On their way down the

mountain one of the men paused to let his horse drink from a stream. And as

tJte horse drank, the rider spotted something glistening in the water. He

dismounted, andfound a goldnugget. Ttre party stayed the point and panned

for gold the ds in the historYof the west. t and Provisions,and return But they vowed

one to another not 0o say a word of their good fortune to any other human.

firey went in0o 0own and made their purchases and when they left they werefollowed by a great group of people. firey wondered why. What had been

said? Who among them had Dold? And finally one of the followers volun'teered that nothing had been told: "It's just that the smile on your faces and

the great spirit about you has told that you have something."

R^EMEMBER: "The plumb admonishes us to walk upriShtly in oursever6l stations before God and man, squaring our actions by the square ofvirtue , . ."

No, we don't have 0o whisper. But we should so act that our Masonicsplrlt shows we have something to thare! l{e are to be sharing men.

REMEMBER: "We are haveling upon the level of time t'o that un'discovered country from whose bourne no haveler returns ' . ."

REMEMBER: (From your flrst time in a Masonic Lodge) Being t'old ofthe theological ladder which Jacob In his vision saw, that the three principalrounds are Faith and Hope and Charity, and that the principal of the three isCharity because it exiends beyond the grave through the boundless realmsof eternity.

Faith and Hope and Charity: and the gleatest of these is Charity.

We will be caring and sharing my sons ! So must it be !

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOROF THE MINNESOTA MASONIC HOME

TOGRANDLODGE

Most Worshipful Grand Master, Offlcers and members of this GrandJurlsdiction, we thankyou for this opportunity to ex0end, and to bring 0o you

the greetings of the residents of our Minneaota Masonic Home, the Board,and the staff that represent you and provide the care.for the residenCs whohave chosen to live there.

We thank me throughyourlodges, are elected

bythisGrand ards.

lttre of the Minnesota Masonic Fraternity, and those of you from visitlngJurisdictions, who share in oqr purpos€, can be most pleased that in 1906 thisGrand Indge did enact the enabling legisladon which said there would be a

Minnesota Masonic Home in this Jurtsdlction. Since the first resident was

admitted in 1920, we have cared for 2,507 ftne people. You can look about this


a significant charge was made to insure that the control of our MinnesotaMasonic Home would be, and should always be, maintained in our GrandLodge. \4Ie have in the past several years took as is now this Grand lndge,working in Advance Sessions, to prepare and to posltion the facility forchanges which are necessary.

I would like to share wlth you a few brlef thoughts, and hope that theysdmulate the questions that you will brtng to us of the Masonlc Home,through working with the Ttustees or the staff. lVe have established, and itwCa read yesterday at our Annual Meeting, a Missions Sta0ement for theMinnesota Magonic Home. We have established broad goals, obtectlves, andshategies, and we are working to bring these into being. lVe have hired anarchitect and a contractor, and we are worklng to plan the renovation of themain building which was first erected in 1925+7, so it can be better suited toaccomodate the needs of the people who come there 0o llve. that has b€enchallenging, because there are laws and regulaHons which make suclrchange difficult and expenslve, and those must be addressed.

lVe are also working, and I have been absent from thls Communicationbecause we have met in one committee or anotler almost contlnuously sincewe adjourned our Annual Meeting at 9:20 yesterday morning. llte havetalked since then in further dlscussions about char4es being congldered toour admission policy. One of the Board obJectives of the Missions Sta0ementsays that we will admit such people as to optimally utillze the beds at theMinnesota Masonlc Home. It'g absolutely essential that we opera0e nearcapacity to flnancially exlst. But let me assure you that we are working tolegally establish prefenential admission so that we wlll always first be able0o admit and care for those of Masonic reladonship and affiliation. It ls alsone,cessary that we look at provldlng alternadves to the present admlsslonpollcy and asset management plan which requires an indlvidual to hansferand assign their assets, if they have any, 0o Minnesota Masonic Home, firsturing what they have to care for themgelves before they need to rely onpublic assistance or the phllanthropy of this Grand Jurisdiction and itsMinnesota Masonlc Home. So you will probably hear conversadon about a

"pay as you go plan", ln addltion to what we now have, that would bemodified to meet.the requirements of loday, or possibly yet some un-thoughtof plan that we might come to, as we work this forward in task force andcommittee.

We have a Fraternal Public Reladons Committee which is maklngtremendous progress in seeklng out ways that we can better communlcatewlth you, the members of our Grand lodge ln the fratennity in Minnesote,about changes at Minnesota Magonic Home. We will begin by developlngdtrect mail pieces that, when we can provide the most adequate maillng list,wlll be sent to each Freemason in Minnesota, as is necessary.


We are looking beyond our present facillty to say what should be done

with the 80 acres of campus property now called Mlnnesota Masonic Home,

or to other sites, sometlme in the future ln the state, to see what types ofprograms and servlces mtght be extcnded. Should we be providing alter-native types of housing for the members of thls fralernlty and the affiliatedbodies? Should we be in subacute care, to care for those people who are

Minnesota Masonic Home, most deslres.

As we have worked with consultants in plannlng or providing for some ofabout what a remarkableange at Minnesota Masonicstate, or within our Grandhold on, because it is good,

because it works, because it is steeped in valuable tradition that suggestswhere we should be in the future.

So, !o that which we should, we muEt hold on, but we must be willing tochange. For change is what will bring about perpetuating that for which allof us stand. Thank you very much.

It is thirty years since the first patient was ad-mitted to the Cancer Hospital.

Many things have happened in the last thirty years, including: 1) theaddition of a Clyde Hegman Conference Room, 2) a new Oncology Clinic onthe fifth floor of the ou@atient building, 3) Oncology Research Laboratorieson the fourth floor of the V.F.W. Cancer Research Center, 4) a Departmentof TherapeuHc Radiology in the basement of the new University Hospital,and 5) renaming the hospital from the Masonic Memorial Hospital 0o theMasonic Cancer Center.

In 1988, we have approved an additional $100,000.00, for a total of$500,000.00, towards the following building changes: 1) refurbishing the thirdfloor to bring it up to standard and 2) adding more office space above thefourth floor,

We are finding that we have more need for research space thanoriginally planned when the building was first constructed. Much of theCancer Center is being devoted to research for cures for cancer. fire hospitalis becoming a world leader in this field.

We have been exhemely fortunate to have Dr. B, J. Kennedy asProfessor of Medical Oncology. Under his direction, the faculty has par-ticipated in many scientific programs for care of patients of advancedcancer and leukemia and for developing an educational program in medicaloncology. Many of the faculty from Masonic have become Professors ofOncology at other institutions. fire contributions of our faculty are knownnationally and internationally.

We feel that the care of patients in Masonic is unexcelled and it is mygood fortune to thank the University and Dr. Kennedy and his staff for thecare and love given to our patients.

We, the Masons of Minnesota, can be very proud of our involvement inthe Masonic Cancer Center. Other Masonic bodies and appendant bodieshave given significant contributions in money and time 0o fte Cancer Center.The Order of the Eastern Star, in particular, have proVided funds for variousareas ofresearch and the purchase of much needed equipment. Other activeorganizations include Ttre Order of the Amaranth, Job's Daughters, Royal


Arch Masons, Scottish Rite, the Shriner's, the Iftights Templar, Red Cross

of Constantine and the DeMolaYs.

REPORT OF THE HISTORICAL AND ARCHIVAL COMMITTEE1987-19t8

The charge to the historlcal and archival committee for 1987'1988 was todevelop a statewide progrem !o identify, catalogue, evaluate, and presenvei0ems of historical signiftcance presently under the iurisdiction of the GrandLodge and the numerous Blue Lodges of A.F. & A.M. in Mlnnesota. Thephilosopy and raHonale behind this program effort has been widely acceptedby a number of Lodges contacted, however, many questions and challengeswere raised as to the best method(s) through which such a program could be

successfully implemented.

119

L2O GRANDLODGEOFMINNESOTA

An issue which received much consideration was the development of astandardized format for recording which could make information easilyavailable for all concerned. Also to be determined was the assignment of therecording task to specific individuals withln the Lodges and the selection of a

central repository for collected data. Initial research into museumpublication sources and communication with various historicalorganizations within the state indicated that the identiflcation andcataloging portions of the program could be accompllshed inexpensively andexpeditiously. However, preservaHon of fraglle documents and artifactscould be costly depending on age, condition, and specific preservation needs.fire program was thus divided into two areas: identification and treatment.The Committee has placed priority on the area of identification at this time.

The basic task in any preservation proiect is the identification of thecollection and the determination of who has jurisdiction over that collection.For Masonic bodies, the types of items in collections are relaHvely standardand can be ca0egorized into four principal groups: furnishings, objects,textiles, and paper. Each of these types can be catalogued in a similarmanner and on a standardized form. the importance of this form is that itserves as a permanent record of the item and its use (also identifying otherpertinent information about it), which becomes an archival document in theevent that the item is lost or damaged through alterations, disasters, theft,and natural deterioration from age. As a compendium, the record presents

an historical overview of the tanglble evidence of Masonry in Minnesota'

Recommendations for the 1988-1980 year are:

l..Each Blue Lodge should designale a person to serve as historian in tltecoordination of the inventory process.

2. The Historical and Archival Committee should develop an in-structional manual and circulate a standard inventory form (possibly to bepublished in the MINNESOTA MASON).

3. The Grand Lodge should Eerve as the central repository for the in'ventory (a master copy at the Grand lodge wlth indlvidual copy in the BlueLodge archives).

4. The initial inventory should be completed by mid-1989, allowing thescope of the collections (indlvldually or collectively) to be evalua0ed andpriority items selected for preservadon.

Future activities of the Historical and Archival Committee should in'clude development of a collecdons management program, publication ofarticles on significant artifacts andor collections, and participation with


Blue Lodges and committees of the Grand Lodge in activities and programsrelative to Masonic History.

firis year a strong emphasis was placed on reversing the decline inmembership and eventually realizing an increase in the number of Masonsin Minnegota. In meeting thls objective, leadership and managementhaining are and will continue to be maJor factors.

Because of the emphasis on educadon, this has been an exhemely activeand successful year for the Leadershlp Commlttee. A total of fifteenLeaderstrtp Schools were held, at which 266 Lodge Officers, and members,and 23 Dishict Repreoentativee attended. It was especially encouraging thatIeadership Schools were held in districtg which had not held a school in overlen years. In fact, we were able to present leadership and managementhaining to over forty-five percent of the Lodges in Minnesota.

A different approach was used thls year in scheduling LeadershipSchools throughout the state. A maximum of tlree districts were combinedlnto zones, with a total of thirteen zones, throughout the state. Due togeographical considerations, some zones only contained one district.

Ireadership and management halnlng sesslons are of two types:Leadership I, formerly referred to as the Deacons and Stewards School,deals with toplcs that include membershlp, motlvaHon, committees and"recruiting", and is for all appolnted offtcers and interested Master Mesons.Leadership II, formenly called the Masters and Wardens School, is deslgnedfor the elective lodge officers, and concentrates on specific areas ofdtscussion including human relations, delegatlon, communication andplanning.

In both sessions, we emphasize - and will contlnue to emphasize - en-couraging lodges to increase partlcipation among our'present memb€rs, andathact quality men to our fra0ernity.

All leadership tratning sessions are moderated by experienced Past


are well-versed inMasters Setting outeasingly important.their fellow officers

and beneflt from the moderator's experlences.

The total cost for each participant is twenty dollars, ten dollars of whichis underwritten by the Grand Lodge. For this minimal cost, each partlcipantreceives a halning workbook, a pocket planning calendar, and lunch andrefreshments during the daY.

Recommendations:

1. that the Grand Lodge and its representatives make a concerted effortto schedule, promote and hold Leadership schools in those dlstricts whichhave not held a Grand Lodge Inadership School within the last two years.

2. That the Grandqualifiedmen from thcommittee, and otherfor our fraternity's prosperity.

3. Establish members of the Leadership committge throughout the stat€to assis as

serving invarious od

of scheduling and staffing schools.

4. To coordinale with the "Masonology Task Force" in accomplishing itsobjectives.

REPORTOF THE COMMITTEE ONMASONIC RESEARCH AND EDUCATION

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Mlnnesota:

The main theme of the committee's work this year was to explore newideas and methods for Masonic education in Minnesota. As in any ex-ploratory voyage, some of our efforts were successful and some were not,but we learned from all of them.

firanks to the resolution passed at the last Grand Indge Com-munication, the committee size was larger this year. fitis made it possible t0explore a number of new concepts by asslgning the work to subcommitteeschaired by committee members.

One subcommittee looked in0o doing a weekly TV show on local cable0elevision. firey found that the cable company was excited by the idea,equipment rental and production costs were very reasonable and our largestinvestment would be in the volunteer time needed to organize, write and tapethe show. firis looks like a great way to educate both Masons and the publicabout our Craft.

Another subcommittee looked in0o holding a state-wide bicentennlal artcontest to commemorate the signing and ratificatlon of the U.S. Con-stitution. fireir efforts showed that an activity of this magnitude requlresmore resources than could be assembled ln the short time we had allowed.Volunteer efforts of0en require longer long range planning than is needed for"purchased" services.- a valuable lesson on the importance of long rangeplanning as an aid to obtaining the most results from our Masonic efforts.

The whole committee worked with the Public Relations Committee todesign a commemorative certificate for all new Master Masons ralsedduring Orc 198?{9 period. Ttris is the 200th anniversary of the time periodduring which the constitution was being ratified by the states. Thesebeautiful certifica0es are belng used and are available from the GrandSecretary.

Among the more tradltlonal activities for Research and Education: 1)

we revised the paper "What You Can Discuss with a Non-Mason"l 2) weprepared a number of presentations for use in the Area lVorkshopr (in-cluding one titled "Stat€d Meetings Can Be Interestlng snd Fun"); 3) thepresentation and display matcrial for the Masonic Open House was updated;4) the chairman and our Grand Master attended the Midwest C,onference onMasonic Education in Fargo, ND; 5) many ldeas that were genenated by thecommittee have been included in the report from the Masonology TaskTeam concernlng the long range plan for Masonic Educadon in Minnesota.

REPORTOFTHEMINNESOTA MASONIC PUBLIC SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE

To the Moet Worshipful Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota:

The Masonic Public School Scholarship Committee is assignedresponsibility for management of a program initiated by the provisionsoutlined in Resolution 11, adopted in 1962 at the ugth Annual Com-munication.

While reviewing tlre 0op ten percent of the 451 applications submitted by251 public high schools, the committee noted an analogy in a quote byhudolph Steiner: "One should not ask: 'What does a person need to knowand to be able to do for.the existing social order?' but rather: 'What giftsdoes a person possess and how may these be developed in he or she?' Thenthis social order will always be alive with that which each fully developedindividual brings with them into life."

The well being of our nation, its institutions and its social orders will beenhanced by assisting these dynamic young citizens develop their gifts andtalents to the highest level of excellence.

Advancement of the human race requires individuals who are honest,responsible, compassionate, creative, cooperative, competent and whgethe highest possible standards are accepted as the norm for their per-formance.

The committee was pleased to note a significant increase in the numberof applicants expressing their intention to pursue teaching, nursing, medicalresearch, the clergy and related careers dedicabed to and concerned withservice to otlers.


Candidate after candidate articulated, in succinct, concise terms, thatthey truly: "Dream no small dreams - make no small plans."

Masons of Minnesota may be justifiably proud of their continuing role ofassisting the recipients in discovering their potential.

During the past twenty-six years, Masons have demonstrated theircommitment to the public schools, dedicated to teaching all of the children ofAll of the people, through contributions aggregating $241,000 shared by 358

outstanding, young citizens.

The Constituent Lodges have developed successful programs torecognize the scholarly endeavors of students attending the public schools intheir locale, as well as in adJoining communities. fire Minnesota MasonicFoundation provides exemplary financial support for these programs, aswell as stipends for two of the 1988 recipients.

fire Honorable Felix FranKurter, Associate Justice of the U.S. SupremeCourt, wrote in 1948: "The Public School is at once the symbol of ourdemocracy and the most pervasive means for promoting our commondestiny."

firrough their endowment, Masons model and nurture creativity inlearners, as well as help individuals acquire positive attitudes toward selfand others, which will enable each to develop maxlmum potential to leadproductive, fulfilling lives in a complex and changing society.

The committee members annually review and revise the application,the poster announcing the program, prepare a cover letter and mail copiesto the counselors in 547 public high schools in Minnesota,

The completed applications, postmarked on or prior 0o February 1, aresubmitted to a preliminary screening committee to identify the top tenpercent of the applications.

This year, twentyone outstanding applicants were selected asrecipients of stipends provided by the Ladd and Benevolence Funds, theMinnesota Masonic Foundation and the William Lundell Memorial Fund.

To publicize the program and to increase the awareness of Masonicphilanthrophy, pictures of each winner, their parents-guardian, counselorand officers of the constituent Lodges, serving the winners, accompanied bya prepared copy ready story, will be mailed to the newspapers identified bythe recipients.

In addition to documenting the time honored commitment of Masons tothe development of the human resources of our state, this publicityrnagnifies the equitable, gender fair program accessible to students withoutregard to creed, national origin, religion, political preference or affiliationwith any Masonic bodies.

The 1988 recipients, their parents-guardians, mentors, counselors andadministra0ors extend their thanks and commendetions to Masons ofMinnesota for their continued endowment of this program.

My Brothers, join me in expressing thanks and appreciation to theGrand Lodge Officers, to the Trustees, to the Board of Directors, MinnesotaMasonic Foundation, to the Grand Secretary, as well as to his dedicatedcaring, effective staff for their contributions to the program during this andpast years.

It is a Fraternal honor, as well as a professional obligation to be en-

trusted with the custody of this program.Fraternally,W.Bro. Lloyd C. AndersonBro. Douglas J. BadeBr. $ralace M. BrunswoldBro. Leslie S. DahmBro. John GrossmanW.Bro. BenJamin H. HoltBro. Sulo LundgrenW.Bro. Leonard G. RoweBro. Paul M. Day, Chairman

REPORT OF THE PROGRAM AND PLANNING COMMITTEE

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota:

In an effort to find the right combination to assure attendance, the statewas divided into seven geographic areas for the presentation of the 1987'88

Area Workshops. The principal purpose behind these sessions was to provide

an opportunity for input from the membership' firis input was furtherutilizedby the Grand Lodge officers in the development of a long range plan

ior Masonry in Minnesota.

The committee extends their thanks to Most Worshipful Grand MasterRslph J. Hultquist for his direction and ideas in the presentations of these

workshops. He was indeed a leader by example, as he personally par-

ticipated in each of the workshops.

The committee also extends thanks to the Research and EducatlonCommittee, Leadership Committee and severel Grand Lodge officers for allof their time and effort put into preparing and presenting the materials forthe workshop program.

Special thanks must also go 0o the host lodges, presenters, DistrictRepresentatives, Liaison Officers and others who helped in bringing thisprogrem to the lodges of Minnesota.

Several different programs were presented to each area workshop. The

agendas were primarily the responsibility of the Grand Lodge Liaison of-ficer. Many of the presentations received high marks from those in at-tendance. This feed-back as to what is wanted will be utilized in thepresentation of four "Masonic Rallies" to be presented around the stat'e inthe fall of 1988.


Thequality of those individuals who attended the workshops was indeedoutstanding. Their obvious concern and dedication to Masonry was evident.They represented the ray of hope for our fraternity's future growth. Un-fortunately, however, the total numbers who cared enough io attend wasdisappointing. The average attendance for all workshops was 32, with thesmallest being 18 and the largest 52. If we are to successfully address theproblems of Masonry in Minnesota, we must gather a larger number ofgenuinely concerned Masons.

Perhaps the most unique of the workshops was the one which waspresented in St. Paul. firis was an evening session with a special invitation totake part extended to the wives of Masons. Among the topics on the agendawas "Women in Masonry".

In the final analysis, these sessions must be considered a success,Valuable input was obtained from a select group of dedicated MinnesotaMasons which will be utilized in the future. We will learn from what wassuccessful in the development not of workshops, but of "Masonic Rallies" in1988.

The purpose of the "Masonic Rallies" will be three-fold:

1. To offer instructional and motivational presentations on how Masonrycan be a dynamic force in today's modern, rapidly<hanging society.

2. To present the Grand lodge "Advance" Program and identify tlte roleof the local lodge and the individual member in working toward its success.

3. To mobilize a body of dedicated and talented Minnesota Masons whowill join in this effort with their time and talents.

fire "Masonic Rallies" will be open to all Master Masons in Minnesota.Only those who genuinely care about Masonry's modern role in today'ssociety are invited. These rallies will not be designed to dwell on theproblems of the past, but rat}er to begin the successes of the future. Onlythose optimistic about that future need attend.

WHER.EAS, there are many competent individuals within Masonry thatcould and shouldprovide their talents in this program, and

WHER.EAS, when more than one L,eadership Training Session isscheduled for the same date a ten member working committee is atsometimes burdened to provide as many as four (4) moderators. Should anemergency arise to prevent a moderator previously scheduled from beingavailable, it is often difficult to find a qualified replacement on short noticedue to previous commitments whether they be personal, professional, orMasonic, and

WIDREAS, Leadership Schools have proven an effective method ofhaining and motivation for Lodge officers and other interested Masons byproviding opportunities to improve themselves and their Lodges, a lastminu0e pos@onement of a Leadership School due to a shortage of aModerator would be a significant loss to those planning to attend theLeadership School,

"A committee of thirteen (13) members, to include the Senior GrandSteward, the Junior Grand Steward, and the Chairman of the DistrictRepresentatives. With the exception of the Senior Grand Steward, the JuniorGrand Steward, and the Chairman of the District Representatives, tltecommittee shall be revolving and each to hold office for five (5) years. fireGrand Master shall appoint tlte Chairman."

BE CHANGED by making it read "a committee of fifteen (15) mem-bers" instead of "a committee of thirteen (13) members"

SECTION 3.12(13a) would then read:

A committee of fifteen (15) members, to include the Senior GrandSteward, the Junior Grand Steward, and the Chairman of the DistrictRepresentatives. With the exception of the Senior Grand Steward, Junior


Grand Steward, and Chairman of the District Rerprsentatives, the com-mittee shall be revolving and each to hold office for five (5) years. fiteGrand Master shall appoint the Chairman.

THE JURTSpRUDENcE coMMrrrEE

To the Mogt Worshlpful Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Mlnnesota:

Your commit0ee on Jurisprudence has glven careful consideradon tothe decisions and opinions rendered by the Grand Master, and makes itsflnal report on the Grand Lodge year now concludlng.

fire Grand Master has exercised good judgement and wiedom in maklnga multltude of decisions, and has acted in the best interest of MinnesotaMasons. As noted in the Grand Master'e address, we were faced with all toomany Masonic trials, due 0o crimlnal convicilons of memberg of the craft.We must be ever vigilant to guard our Fraternity, only recommending thosewho will cheerfully conform to our rules.

Some of the Grand Master's rulings, however, seem 0o be at varlancewith the Masonic Code. In August, 1gBZ, he gave permlssion to a lodge to holda Special Communicadon, at a time and place not authorized by the Code,nor did the lodge ever submit a written request for such dlspensadon. seeCont. Art. IX, Sec. 2.72(d: "No Lodge shall move lts place of meeting fromthat named in the Charter except by two-thirds vote of the members thatarepresent..."

On two separate occasions the Grand Magter granted dlspensadon for af,o!8e 0o receive pedtions, receive reports of the Investigating Committee,ballot and confer the first degree in conflict with our Masonic Code, GeneralRegulations, Art. XUI Sec. B.1E9: "All petitions . . . shall be read at a StatedCommunication and referred by the Master 0o a committee. . . firls com-mittee . . . to report in writing at the next Stated Communicadon. "

In both instances the dispensatlon permitted the petltlon to be recelved


and thereafter balloted upon at one Special Communication, with no StatedCommunication being held.

In August, 198?, a lodge permitted its name, address and offlcers to be

used for promoting a raffle, admittedly for a very worthy cause. fitis clearviolation was called to the attention of the Grand Master, who chose tohandle the matter lnformally, rather than impose any penalty under theCode. It should be noted that such activity is prohiblted by GeneralRegulations, Art. VI, Sec. 3.00(o): "To introduce gambling and lotteries inor about any Indge hall or building owned or controlled by a Indge" is un-masonic conduct.

Acting within hls authority, the Grand Master issued an Edict on August26, 198?. firis Edict was to be read in all lodges, and it required that astatement be read to each candldate before each degree, in languageprescribed by the Grand Master.

fiiis Edict was intended to be an explanaHon of the penalties ofMASONRYAND ISNOTACHANGE INTIIE RITUAL. PUTSUANT tO GCNETAI

Regulations, Art. V, Sec. 3.54, this Edict can remain in force and effect for no

more than one year after the conclusion of the term of office of the GrandMaster.

We arepleased toEtate that all other decisions and rulings conformed tothe Ritual, Constitution, Laws and Reguladons of this Grand lodge and areaccordingly approved by the Jurisprudence Committee.

The Committee commends the practice followed during the past year ofhaving all resolutions reviewed by the Resolutions Committee prior 0o

submission to the Grand Indge. lVe urge that this procedure be strictlyadhered to in the future.

Most Worshipful Grand Master, we commend you for your optlmism andenthusiastic leadershlp during the past year. We know that your dedicationand love for the Fraternity has encouraged the brethren throughout theState. As you join the ranks of Past Grand Masters, we trust that you willcontinue to give us your good counsel.

Fraternally submittcd,Otis H. Godfrey, Jr., P.G.M., ChairmanJohn P. Peterson, P.G.M.Donald M. Severson, P.G.M.Donald J. Flood, P.G.M.Rodney Larson, J.G.S,

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOROFTHE

MINNESOTA MASONIC IIOMEFor the Year Endlng December 31, 10tz

To the Mlnnesota Masonlc Home, a corporatlon,andTo the Mogt Worshlpful Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Mlnneeote:

It is excittng to be part of this audience and to be with you, the people ofMinnesota Masonlc Home. As workers, volunteers, and staff, you are friendsof our Minnesota Masonic Home and you do what you do for the benefit of theresidehts, the people who have chosen to live at our Mlnnesota MasonlcHome.

The reports that have been given to you this morning demonstra0e theexcellence of the people who are interested in providtng care for our frlendsat the Home. Tlrere is no way that anyone can say more to better tell you thestory of Minnesota Masonic Home than has our Board President. And whenyou can talk of your bosses with love, you know the type of associatlons thatexist at the Home as we glve care to eactr other as staff and Board Membersand volunleers, but also to the residentE who live there. In Just a moment wewill also showyou thepeople of Minnesota Magonic Home.


Our Minnesota Masonic Home is a community of residents, staff,volunteers, family, andfriends - people interacting to receive and to providequality care and who share genuine bonds ofaffection. Our story is excitingto tell. We provide care from skilled nursing 0o board and care. Residentsfind a blend of activity and leisure, care, comfort, and companionship in acongenial home-like atmosphere. All of the people there, as Larry hasdemonstrated, do receive a measure of charity.

Minnesota Masons can take greatpride in the Home which is recognizedas one of the finest long term care facilities in the industry. As we [alk aboutand plan for the changes at Minnesota Masonic Home, we hear repeatedlyfrom those who advise and work with us to hang on to that which we can, forthat is what has made us who we are; the traditions of the MasonicFraternity and the Order of the Easbern Star and the values that are thererepresented - hang on to the culture and the environment. In that is achallenge because we, know, too, that we must change. We can also takepride that our facility provides internal medical capability that is realized infew other facilities in this nation.

We are a facility which is based on Masonic principles and the values ofthe Eastern Star. It was those values that caused people in the early 19fl)'s tosay that there should be a Minnesota Masonic Home in this jurisdiction andit was people, the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons ofMinnesota, which in 1906 said there shall be a Masonic Home in thisjurisdiction; and since the first resident was admitted in 1920, the Home hasprovided care for 2,507 people and has grown into a modern, spaciouscomplex for retirement living in a congenial home atmosphere.

Aging is a pr(rcess that beglns at conception and runs the full cycle ofhuman life. It is a process that is no respecter of persons - everybody is doingit. firis is some of the philosophy that motlvates us at the Home. Another isthat we do not grow old, we become old by not growlng. Agtng touches all ofthe basic questions of life. It provides an lnterface of spirltual, soclal,physical and mental aspects of human experience; and our MinnesotaMasonic Home does provide the growth of the human gfowth experience forour friends who have chosen 0o llve there. fire people living at the MasonicHome today, as they have always been, are sincere, caring, compassionate,humorous, religious, warm, gregarious; they are a people of high moralesand they do not consider themselves old.

The Home has 202 full-time equivalent staff. The management teamincludes two licensed long term care Administrators, five Managers andnine Department Heads. Tte daily operation of our Home is in the hands of avery capable Adminishator and the management group. She ls responsiblefor application, admission, paHent care and for most of the physlcal plant,and that person is Amaryllys lhompson.

Maintenance.

firese are some of the people who make the programs work and those

with whom you will work as you assiet people at the Masonic Home. Laryhas talked about the Trustees and there ls nothing I could say now in the

limited amount of time about how much they do, but if you llstened well and

did hear larry Bachman, you do know the deep intenslty that each of the

Trustees and Directors brings 0o thelr responstblities at the Home and howcapable they are to meet those obligations. They do that without any com-pensation or financial remuneration of any type.

We would llke to show you the people of Minnesota Masonic Home, andwe are going !o intentionally foctu on people who care'those people in the

"trenches" including Trustees and oher volunteers and gtaff; the people inthe "trenches" who livetherewhllerem stYle. We

share with you Masonic

Needless to say, we now have an ambltlous plan before us. As arxious asthe Board is to jump in0o this program with both feet, we are still beinghampered in our efforts because of current or proposed governmentregulations. This year we were successful in getting the moratorium onrenovation of existing facilities lifted. We hired an architect and contractorand have turned staff documentation of needs and wishes 0o the archltect forhis use in the deslgn phase of a renovation plan for the Main Lodge. His flrstdrawings were due for review in about two weeks. Just this week we learnedof plans from the Minnesota Department of Health for a proposal by theFederal Government to require that all llcensed beds be upgraded to skillednursing facility levels by 1990. This would make it far less economicallypractical to renovate because we could only house about ?5 patients in skilledcare beds plus a few more assisted living beds and still accommodate thenecessary nurses stations, medicafion rooms and resident dining areasrequired on each floor of our Main Lodge.

This leaves us with questions tlat must be answered before we canproceed with renovation or,reconstruction. At this point I won't call this anobstacle, but rather an opportunity. However, we sure don't need manymore of these opportunities.

fire Trustees and staff are very concerned about the operating deficit wemust report again this year. TVe can see no way to improve our financialposition until we can increase our resident @cupancy rate. We currentlyhave licensed beds which we cannot fill because the rooms and facilities donot meet our self-imposed minimum standards. fite Board has reafflrmedits position that we will maintain a high standard of care and facilities for allresidents regardless of their financial ability to pay for or toward theirservices. firere will be no double standard of care for any guest at our Home.

More than ?5 percent of our resldents are on medical assistance versusless than 25 percent who are priva0e pay. All of our residents are rated underRule 50 into one of eleven levels of care based on nursing hour equivalentsand other criteria. In July of 1987 the latest revision in rates of reim-bursement tookplace. firiswas the last step in a downward revision of ratessince Rule 50 came into being in November of 1985. We are now subsidizingeach resident on medical assistance at the daily average rate of $11.27, Sinceprivate pay residents are charged at comparable daily rates, we aretherefore absorbing $u.2? per resident-per p€rson per day to provide equalhigh level services to all. fire only way we can cut this loss is to increase theuse of every available licensed bed. Incldentally, the subsidy during the firsthalf of 198? (January through June) was $9.80 per day, and with the ad-ditional cut in July, we are now absorbing an Su.? p€r day loss. One won-ders how long we can keep operating like this.

We obviously would be out of buslnesE very soon if it were not for the

157


foresight of Trustees and staff members who years ego set up endowmentsand planned giving to generate a sizeable investment portfolio, which I ampleased to report is currently yielding in interest income approximatelythreequarters of our annual operations budget. firanks to the carefulmanagement of those funds, we do not have to compromise our standards forcare and can also take steps to renovate or rebuild and maintain ourfacilities so that we can soon fill every vacant bed and begin to operate at orvery near a break+ven level.

As we consider other types of facilities which might appeal to more ofour Masonic and Star members, we must look at other means to finance suchstructures so as to leave in tact every cent in current investments. I[re mustalso continue to support increasing our present fund balances. Any newbuilding will most likely include advance financial commitment for reser-ving space as well as active fund solicitation.

Each new effort will increase our need to add new staff positions. We willsoon be looking for a full-time Personnel Director, also the need for a full-

elop_planned

remodeling effort.

For the past tlree or four years we have held a Board Retreat or Ad-vance where we are free to think and plan for the future. We will be togetherfor this year's sesslon in just a couple of weeks and we have a very full andchallenging agenda planned. I thought it might be of interest to review asummary of some of the improvements to our physical plant during the year1987.

-Redecorating of Ladies Sunroom was completed.

-IVa0er system back-up connection made to Bloomington City watersystem.

-Booster heater for dishwasher added as required by Health Depart-ment.

-1987 3/a ton Ford Pickup purchased and delivered.

-Gazebo installed, a gift of the Grand Chapter O.E.S. lValks, benches,and bird feeding stations will be added this spring.

-Black 0op roadways and paths - regular roufine maintenance.

-fire computer system was expanded to the Dietary Department.


-Minnesota legislature passed a bill to allow Minnesota Masonic Hometo be excused from moratorium which wlll now allow us to renovate ourpresent facilities.

-Necessary and planned roof repairs were completed on the SkilledNursing Facility and other areas.

-Wicker furniture was restored end new carpet installed in severalareas adjacent to Main Lodge Dining Room and cafeteria as a gift from theGrand Chapter, O.E.S.

-Incinerator repairs were made.

-Quarry tile was installed in area adJacent to the three walk-inrefrigerators.

-A computer, printer, and necessary furniture was installed in ourVolunteer Department.

-Concrete sidewalk repairs were made.

-Electrical work on street lights was completed.

-Fire alarm system and smoke detectors were updated to comply withFire Marshal's request.

-Twelve new picnic tables were purchased.

-New Canon copier was purchased.

-Tuck pointing, caulklng, and palnttng trlm was completed.

-Dorm over boiler room was closed for staff housing and area wasconverted to storage.

-Flag poles were painted.

-Cooler compressor 0o sub-basement was replaced.

-1988 Chevrolet Caprice stadon wagon was ordered and delivered.

Total budget for plant and glounds malntenance and repair was S787,80.fi).The specific capital expense items amounted to an additional $1(X),650.(X).

We have not cut corners on maintenance and repairs. We continue tokeep the entire place in the best sta0e of repalr possible. I am especially


pleased with the dedication of our staff. Turnover remains minimal, and jobsatisfaction is evident as you witness our staff carry out their tasks.

The Ttustees have given of their time and talents in the most exemplarymanner. Response to special committee meetings, task force assignments,and regular Board duties have been carried out in every instance. Countlesshours of work, trips, meetings, reports, and assignments are mere routinefor every Board Member. Ask and it shall be done.

Our Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Star Officers and Committeesand our Masonic Home Committee Members continue to contribute tospecial projects and are in direct contact and aid to our guests. fitat per'sonal visit and welcome of a new resident plus all the special nice touchesthey do for our guests is what sets our Home apart and far above similarfacilities. Our whole volunteer staff deserves our praise and continualgratitude.

I would hate to think of what it would cost the Home to properly com'pensate a volunteer lke Robert M. Ferris, Assistant to the President. Bobspends days, weeks, and months assistlng the Home in assessing values ofresidents' possessions and property. He assists in disposing of these items atthe highest market value possible and tracks our guests' estates to derivethe maximum benefit for each resident.

I am very thanKul Bob has never attempted to place a value on hisservice, because if he did, I doubt that we could afford him. fitanks, Bob, foryour many years of dedicated service and we will be eternally grateful toyou for your continued help in the future.

To the best of my knowledge the Minnesota Masonic Home and supportcorporations, Minnesota Masonic Home Care Center and MinnesotaMasonic Home Endowment, continue to operate as was originallyauthorized by the Grand Lodge in 1906, or as subsequently amended, and hasonce again met its obligations to the Members, the Fraternity and the guests

at tlte Home.

I want to thank the Board of Ttustees for allowing me to serve as theirspokesman and for the privilege to serve this year.
