Please advise your Lodge about these two events. I am certain that our Incoming Grand Master’s Reception will be excellent and a fraternal highlight of the year!
The Hamilton District #24 Degree Rallies are always well worth attending!

This should be the last email you see from me today.
With Lodge Elections having taken place, I am attaching the Annual Lodge Information Form. Please complete this form and send it to the Grand Lodge Office as soon as you can so we can keep the information for your Lodge up to date and keep you in the information loop. So far I have received 3 of the Annual Information Forms. I need these forms so our Journal of Proceedings, our Website, and our listings can be correct and up to date.
Districts, and Lodges with an incoming DDGM, I have attached the 123 form for Districts. We need this information for our Journal of Proceedings, our Website, and to keep the Districts in our information loop. I have, so far, received 5 of these completed forms. Please complete and return these forms as soon as possible as I am about to generate commissions and materials for the incoming DDGMs.
Thank You Brothers and Sisters!

Hello Brothers and Sisters!
With the Annual Session quickly approaching I have attached our Pre Session Mailing. You will find part one of two attached to this email. Part two will come shortly in a second email.
There are a couple of quick items to mention:
The Joint Installation of the Officers of the Grand Lodge and Rebekah Assembly will be on the Tuesday of the Annual Session at 4:00 pm in the Sessional Rooms. Please consider attending the Joint Installation prior to the Banquet.
There is no DDGM/DDP Luncheon this year. The Seminar for the District Deputy Presidents of the Rebekah Assembly will be in the Grand Lodge Room on Monday morning and the
Seminar for incoming DDGMs will be in the Grand Lodge Room on Monday afternoon. Please see the Sessional Schedule in this package for the timing of all events we have so far!
The Pre Session Mailing will come in 2 parts due to the file sizes.
Have a great day!

We are scheduled to have our Annual Sessions, Odd Fellows and Rebekahs, at the Quality Inn From Sunday May 4 to Wednesday May 7.
The Quality Inn is now the Rodeway Inn.
Our Contract and Sessional Dates still stand. You will still call the same phone number ( 519-273-1150 ) to make your reservation.
Everything is still the same for the bookings and dates.
There have been some small changes to the Sessional Schedule which I will also bring to your attention.
There will be no DDGM/DDP Luncheon this year.
There will be a Joint, Open Installation, of the incoming Grand Lodge and Rebekah Assembly Officers on Tuesday May 6, at 4:00 pm, in the Sessional Rooms. The Sessional Banquet will follow, at the appointed time, in the Hotel Ballroom.
Please consider attending the Joint Installation, and the Banquet.
Yours in Friendship, Love, and Truth,
Brother John R. Nichols,
Grand Secretary.
I have been requested to send the Annual Appeals Letter out to you again. It appears that donations have been slower coming in this year.
Please read this letter to your Lodge and respond to the requests as you can!

Brothers and Sisters,
I am sending this letter out and would ask that you read it out to your Lodges.
The devastation caused by the recent hurricane in the USA and other nations has been phenomenal.
