Greetings Sir Knights! We hope everything is well with you and your family. Looking forward to having you with us at our stated meetings and at the dinners we serve for Scottish Rite on the second Thursday of each month. We could always use your presence or help if you could.

We are going to Grand Commandery in Columbus, Ohio on the 10th and 11th of October. If you would like to be present, contact our Recorder for information.

We will be having a number of special meetings to confer work and also practice the “Full Form” opening and also the Order of the Temple Degree; come and join us. We can always use a few more Knights in the lines and also on the sidelines.

This year will be a little different; our new Grand Commander has stated he wants the “Full Form” opening done before our inspection so, at our stated meeting on December 16th, we will do the “Full Form” Opening. On January 17th, we will have our inspection and than, at our stated meeting in May, our Grand Commander will be present. Please make a special effort to be present at these meetings.

As you know, it takes a brother who is a Royal Arch Mason to become a Knight Templar, so let us invite ore brothers who are not as of yet members of the York Rite Bodies. I am sure they will enjoy their journey through the degrees and orders.

I’m looking forward to seeing you at our stated and special meetings.

Fraternally

Bill Stratton, Commander

Greetings Sir Knights! I hope that each of you and your families had an enjoyable summer. Thanks to each of you who help with the dinners for Scottish Rite and also the recent corn roast; it was a great success. Thank you again and we have a couple small dinners in the future; I will keep you posted.

We each have friends who belong to our beautiful fraternity. We should ask them to join the York Rite to further their knowledge in Masonry, especially Commandery.

There are a number of changes coming from Grand Commandery this year. We will keep you all informed, better yet, come to our stated meetings and hear first hand. Let’s all continue to work together to make Canton Commandery No. 38 one of the best in the state of Ohio.

Thank you Sir Knights for all you do!

Fraternally,

Bill Stratton, Eminent Commander
