ELECTIONS FOR THE MASONIC HOME BOARD OF DIRECTIONS R. W. Brother Elmer E Revelle informed the members of the Grand Lodge of the need for an election of 3 new board members; 2 for term that just ended and 1 for the term filled by Brother Larry Houge.

Jimmie Lee nominated Larry Houge.

MASONIC SERVICE PRESENTATION M.W. Thompson introduced P.M.W. P Vincent Kinkead who serves as the president of the Masonic Service Association of North America. M.W. Kinkead made the following comments: "During WWII a number of Grand Lodges went to the US government and stated they would like to support the troops. The government stated they did not want to deal with 49 different Grand Lodges. This gave birth to the ""Masonic Service Association of North America."" The main function at that time was to provide volunteers in the veteran's hospitals and that is still going on and has been since WWI. Would those brothers who volunteer at the veterans hospitals in Missouri please stand to be recognized for the good work that you do. Among the other things that the Masonic Service Association does is to distribute Masonic educational information and collect money to be distributed for disaster relief. They have developed a Masonic Information Center who is making an effort to respond to the anti-Masonic movement. They are studying ways to improve our fraternity. At the present they are working on methods that are referred to as Public Awareness. They will be making the public aware of the merits and activities of mason." A plaque was presented: "This is to Stanley M Thompson, Grand Master of Missouri, in sincere appreciation for your abiding interest and support for the Masonic Service Association program. You have given time to our National Hospital Visitation program by personally visiting hospitals and you have encouraged representatives, deputies and volunteers of Missouri. With this certificate goes our best wishes for continued success and service to our general craft." Given this 27 th day, 2004 and signed by M.W. Brother Richard Fletcher.

PRESENTATION OF CHARTER M.W. Stanley M Thompson had the privilege of presenting a new lodge charter. M.W. Thompson announced that the new lodge name is Nobel Lodge No. 684.

the results to the Grand Lodge. Grand Master Thompson: while waiting for the election results to be tallied, we have two resolutions to be read today that will be laid over on the table overnight and voted on tomorrow. RW. Brother Ronald D Miller will you please read the resolutions. -RWB Ronald D Miller: The first resolution is a disclaimer. Resolve that no statement or opinion, either written or oral, and including transaction by any electronic means which may be used or other by a member of the Masonic fraternity with respect to any policy or policies of the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri shall be deemed to constitute, reflect, or represent the opinion or the policy of the Grand Lodge of Ancient and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri, and unless such statement or opinion shall have been formally adopted, ratified, and approved by the said Grand Lodge of Ancient and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri at a duly called communication at which a quorum shall have been in attendance. Statement of purpose. It is recommended that this disclaimer be adopted to protect the integrity of the Grand Lodge. This statement is intended to reduce the risk of having statements by individual members of the fraternity regarded by the public as statements of policy supported or promoted by the Grand Lodge of Missouri. It does have two signatures of Past Masters of legal lodges. Second resolution. To the Most Worshipful Grand Loge of Ancient and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri. It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted for purposes of providing financial support for the recognized Masonic youth groups of the State of Missouri. Resolution supporting the Missouri Masonic Youths: Be it resolved for the payment of$1 per Masonic youth group for a total of$3 per year by and per each Master Mason paying dues by each lodge to maintain and enhance the programs within the State of Missouri, the Missouri DeMolay, the Missouri Job's Daughters, and the Missouri Rainbow for Girls, for the good of the future of the fraternity and the Masonic family of Missouri for each of the ensuing four consecutive fiscal years of the Grand Lodge, commencing with the fiscal year beginning October the 15 t h, 2004, or November the 1"t, 2004, if the legislation pertaining to changing the fiscal year is adopted by the Grand Lodge at the 183 rd Annual Communication. Each such payment shall be due and payable to the Grand Secretary on or before the date each annual return required by Section 10.050 of the bylaws is due in respect for each such fiscal year of the Grand Lodge, commencing with the annual return dues no later than August 1st, 2005. The Grand Secretary shall receive such funds and shall transmit the funds to the executive officer in charge of each of the three Masonic youth groups. All funds so received by the Masonic youth groups may only be expanded and used within the State of Missouri, and shall be used for youth group projects held within the State of Missouri; used for recruitment and membership development performed within the State of Missouri, and to assist in sponsoring Masonic youth to attend annual and other local leadership and training conferences held within the State of Missouri, and to otherwise enhance and promote the existing, plus any new chapters, bethals, and assembles within the Sate of Missouri. In absolutely no event or circumstances can any of such funds by used by the Missouri youth organizations for salaries or other compensation of any employee, independent contractor, or other similar or related expenditures at

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

2004

any and all kind, types, nature or descriptions. The executive officer of each such Masonic youth organization shall provide to the Grand Lodge of Missouri no later than August 1st of each year, after receipt of such funds, a line item accounting of all expenditures made and any reserves held by that organization resulting from this assessment demonstrating that such funds were solely and exclusively used by such organization for the purpose expressed, authorized herein. Until such line item accounting is received by the Grand Secretary, no additional funds may be forwarded to the Masonic youth organizations failing to make such accounting. Statement of purpose. There are few organizations that provide any greater support than the Missouri Masonic family than the three recognized Masonic youth groups of DeMolay, Job's Daughters, and Rainbow for Girls. Further, no other organization can or will contribute as substantially and consistently to the future growth of the membership of all of the Missouri Masonic families, as well as these Masonic youth organizations. All three Masonic youth groups have experienced recent revitalization and membership and growth. While as Master Masons we have voiced focal support for our Masonic youth, we have, unfortunately, not provided the necessary financial assistance required to maintain these youth organizations and to permit them to continue to grow and flourish. This resolution will provide temporary financial support of our three recognized Masonic youth groups for a period of four years, during which time the line item reporting back to the Grand Lodge each year will permit our member ship to determine if the same should be continued via adoption of a permanent bylaw in the future, or otherwise alter or change so as to best suit the needs as may be presented after a four year experimental period. It is also signed by two Past Masters.

Masonic Home of Missouri Report of the President This has been a year of mixed emotions. On one hand the Masonic Home of Missouri has continued to grow in providing more assistance to more persons. On the other hand we have been saddened by the death of five Life Care Residents. The following brothers and sisters entrusted to our loving care have transitioned from this life to the next in hope of life eternal: Louise Arterburn Florence Bajon Beatrice Elder Clemen Howell Mae Parrett As of the writing of this report, we have only two living Life Care Residents. One lives in the St. Louis area and one lives in the Kansas City area. We are witnessing a major transition in the life of the Masonic Home with the passing of these sisters and brothers. We have seen continued growth in the census at our Residential Living Facility located on Bannister Road in Kansas City. On September 30, 2003 there were 36 residents in that facility which placed it at 92.3% occupancy. Fifteen of those were assisted through the Outreach Program, 20 were Private

2004

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

Pay, and one was a Life Care Resident. It is projected that by September 30, 2004 we will have 37 residents with 17 assisted through the Outreach Program and 20 as Private Pay. Our Outreach Program continues to grow. We are currently providing assistance to 93 adults and 10 children. We are also serving as a model for other Grand Jurisdictions. In February Ms. Karin Bell, Executive Director, and Ms. Barbara Ramsey, Outreach Coordinator, made presentations at the Conference of Grand Masters of Masons of North America which met in Washington, D.C. Several of the officers of other states were impressed and have requested additional information on our program. We have received the report that the Grand Lodge of New York has already adopted our program with little or no change. What makes our Outreach Program so important? The most fundamental answer is simple: "It allows us to assist any eligible person without regard to his/her place of residence." Here are four examples of the types of assistance provided by the Masonic Home of Missouri: 1. A husband and wife from Farmington, Missouri live in a Residential Care Facility. We provide $785.00 assistance each month. 2. A single woman lives in an independent living facility in Ballwin, Missouri. We provide $1,560.00 assistance each month. In addition to the monthly assistance, we have also paid for home health care after she was released from the hospital which allowed her to resume her normal life more quickly. 3. A single elderly woman lives in an apartment in Texas where she moved to be close to her family. We provide $621.00 assistance each month. In addition to this amount we have helped pay for her automobile insurance and other miscellaneous needs. 4. We have also assisted a younger husband and wife with minor children. Their need was to be relieved of medical debt which was strapping them financially. We were able to payoff their medical debt in the amount of $1,318.00 which allowed them to get back on their feet. Our newest addition to the Outreach Program was unveiled at the Area Meetings in the fall of 2003. This is our Children's Outreach Program. This new program enables us to return to our roots of helping children as we did through our orphanage for many years. We are able to assist both children up to age 21 and mentally or physically disabled children of any age whose parents qualify through Masonic membership. Here are three examples of assistance we have provided to children of our Masonic Family: 1. The Masonic Home provided $759.00 for extensive dental surgery for a two year old child. 2. A 54 year old disabled son who is dependent upon his parents received assistance in the amount of $2,500 for extensive dental work. 3. A child age 6 and a child age 8 needed tutoring for the summer along with the cost of transportation to help them be prepared to enter school. We assisted that family in the amount of $975.00 After reading these examples of our Outreach Program for both adults and children can you discover the common thread? We do not have a "one size fits

all" approach. Each person or family is unique, and we address and respond to them individually to help meet their needs. While we do have age and length of membership guidelines in determining eligibility, each application is reviewed on a case by case basis so that assistance can be given where needed. In October of2003 we introduced one additional program. It is a partnership to help school children. The partnership includes the school, the local lodge, and the Masonic Home of Missouri. Each lodge is encouraged to discover the needs of their local school children. That lodge is to do what it can to meet those needs and, if additional funding is needed, the Masonic Home will provide assistance to the lodge. This places the lodge in each community on the front line of providing assistance to children. I encourage every lodge in Missouri to become involved in this important program of assisting children. As reported earlier, only two Life Care Residents continue in our care. The one remaining Life Care Resident in St. Louis requested that she be moved from National Healthcare Center to a facility closer to her family. Her wish was granted and both she and her family are pleased to be able to visit almost every day. This did, however, present the Board of Directors with a necessary, though difficult, decision. Since the original agreement had been to provide special services to our Life Care Residents at National Healthcare Center and since we no longer had any remaining Life Care Residents living in that facility, we did not renew our contract and we eliminated the staff positions of those who were in the employ of the Masonic Home of Missouri. Since there continues to be several members of the Masonic family residing in that facility under private contract, we have urged volunteers from Lodges, Chapters, and other Masonic organizations to continue to visit and share activities as scheduled by the staff at National Healthcare Center. The Board of Directors then directed a Feasibility Study to be done in the greater St. Louis area to determine what needs might exist. That study began in August so we do not have any results as this report goes to press. It is our hope that the Board will begin processing the results of the Study before the end of this calendar year. It is also anticipated that future studies will be made throughout the state. As our Fraternity continues to age, as health care needs continue to rise, and as the cost associated with residential and nursing home care climbs, we have a continued need to develop resources. Our Development Director has done a remarkable job for the short time he was been on the job. Working with the Public Relations Staff and the Executive Director the following accomplishments have been made: ./ A Charitable Annuity Program has been established. ./ The Development Director has identified and is cultivating 10 major donors. ./ The Development Director has identified several new donors who have remembered the Masonic Home of Missouri in their estate planning. ./ A Year End President's Appeal has been conducted with a good response. ./ New Donor Recognition programs have been established: o Donor Tree o Square and Compasses Court o Naming opportunities for Masonic Complex offices and meeting rooms ./ The 1st Annual Golf Outing was a great success and the next one has been scheduled.

./ There have been speaking engagements to over 150 Lodges and Chapters which have reached over 5,000 brothers and sisters. While we know the financial needs will continue to grow for the future, we have good news to report in relation to our current financial situation. Even during a depressed market, the Masonic Home of Missouri has increased its liquid assets by $5 million dollars, the Penny A Day support has grown, general contributions have increased, Resident Revenue at our Residential Living Facility on Bannister Road in Kansas City is up, and gifts from estates and trusts have increased. Please see the financial audit report for a more complete picture. A Masonic Children's Home Reunion was held at the Masonic Complex in Columbia on June 12,2004. There were 23 former residents who lived in the "orphanage" present for that evening along with their guests. The most senior person attending in both age and year in which she became a resident was 89 years old and moved into the Masonic Home in 1917 at age 2. Another person in attendance had lived at the Home for 15 years. Following dinner an historical presentation was given which highlighted the care received by the children. Many of the former residents reminisced about their lives at the Masonic Home which was then located on Delmar in St. Louis. The common thread running through each person's remembrance was the love and care which was received. By the end of the evening there was no doubt that those children in the care of the Masonic Home of Missouri had as much or more provided for them in food, clothing, and shelter during the depression years than many who lived in their own homes. The expressions of gratitude that evening were overwhelming for those of us present. It is important to know that the Masonic Fraternity in Missouri made an unbelievable difference in the lives of many children for more than 92 years. The Library and Museum is currently in the planning stage. While this is taking longer than anticipated, it is a very important time because we are setting the foundation for the future. Consultants are helping the Library and Museum Committee determine the "what" and "how" of displays. The committee has been involved in inventorying those items which have been in storage. A Gifts Committee is being established with the responsibility of determining what is appropriate to accept for display. It is hoped that the Library and Museum will begin to take shape and be ready for displays within the next 12 to 18 months. The By-laws are at the conclusion of this report. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I urge the acceptance of this report and affirmation of these ByLaws. Words are not adequate to express my gratitude for the hard work of both the Masonic Home Staff and the Board of Directors. The members of the Board of Directors give a great deal of time and energy each year. Their only material reimbursement is in the form of expenses to attend meetings. The "payment" received comes from the satisfaction of knowing that many of our brothers and sisters have a quality oflife which they would not have without the Masonic Home of Missouri. I invite you to join with me in giving thanks to those who give so much of themselves as members of the Board. We have a wonderful, skilled, and dedicated staff. These individuals do much more than a "job" for us. Under the guidance of Ms. Karin Bell, Executive Director, they embody our mission statement: "The Mission of the Masonic Home of Missouri is to provide the best quality of life for those eligible adults

and children who need our assistance.Âť It only takes a few minutes of conversation to know that each member of our staff has a great love and compassion for those who receive assistance. I also invite you to join with me in thanking our staff for the wonderful job they do on our behalf. Finally, thank you, my brothers, for giving me the privilege to serve as President of our Masonic Home of Missouri. We have a long and honored past. We are living in an exciting present. Working together, by the grace of God, we will have an even brighter future. Fraternally, Elmer E. Revelle Masonic Home President, Board of Directors

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors of Masonic Home of Missouri We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Masonic Home of Missouri (the Home) as of June 30, 2004 and 2003 and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Home's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Masonic Home of Missouri as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and its changes in net assets and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In our report dated August 1,2003, we qualified our opinion on the June 30, 2003 financial statements because we were unable to obtain sufficient evidence to satisfy ourselves as to the Home's beneficial interest in certain trusts established by donors for which there was indication the Home had a beneficial interest that should be recorded under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. For all such interests in question, the Home had not recorded a promise to give. During our audit for the year ended June 30,2004, we were able to satisfy ourselves that management had obtained all information reasonably available to the Home for purposes of determining the amounts to be recorded, and to the extent its beneficial interests were not recorded, it was due to a lack of reliable documentary support necessary for recording such amounts under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, our present opinion on the June 30, 2003 financial statements, as presented in the preceding paragraph, is different from that expressed in our August I, 2003 report. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information on pages 18 through 21 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements. In our opinion, the supplementary information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

MASONIC HOME OF MISSOURI NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies followed by Masonic Home of Missouri are described below to enhance the usefulness of the financial statements to the reader.

Organization: Masonic Home of Missouri (the Horne) is a nonprofit corporation established to provide care for eligible Missouri Masons, their wives, widows, and female members of the Order of the Eastern Star. The Home operates a Residential Living Facility located in Kansas City, Missouri, fonnerly referred to as the Western Unit As of May 28,2004, the Horne no longer contracts with the National Healthcare Corp. in Maryland Heights, Missouri for the care of its last life care resident living in the St. Louis area. In addition, the Horne extends relief and assistance to those eligible applicants to enable them to maintain their quality of life in their home or their community. The Home is a nonprofit corporation as described in Section SOl(cX3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is exempt from federal income taxes pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Basis ofaccounting: The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Classes afnet assets: The classification of net assets into the categories of unrestricted, temporarily restricted and permanently restricted is based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions, stipulations that specify a use for a contribution that is more specific than broad limits resulting from the Home's basic mission and environment in which it operates. Temporary restrictions are donor-imposed stipulations that either expire by passage of time or can be fulfilled and removed by actions of the Home pursuant to those stipulations. Pennanent restrictions are donor-imposed stipulations that neither expire by passage of time nor can be fulfilled or otherwise removed by actions of the Horne. Assets without donor-imposed restrictions, including assets designated for specific use by the Horne's Board of Directors, are included in unrestricted net assets. When a restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. If a restriction is met in the same period the gift is received, the gift is reported as an addition to unrestricted net assets.

Use ofestimates: The preparation of financial statements in confonnity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates affecting the financial statements are the net present values of contributions receivable and of future cash flows from donor gifts, the estimated useful lives of fixed assets, as well as estimates for revenue and liabilities of charitable gift annuities.

Cash and cash equivalents: For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Home considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Horne maintains cash balances at established financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000. The balance frequently exceeds the FDIC insurance limits. Accounts receivable: Accounts receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. 11

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

Valuation ofinvestments: Investments in equity securities with readily detenninable market values and all debt securities are reported at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are reported in the statement of activities. Other investments which have been donated to the Home are recorded at estimated fair value at the date of the gift and adjusted thereafter only if there is evidence of impainnent of the recorded fair value. Other investments which have been purchased are recorded at cost and adjusted to estimated fair value thereafter only if there is evidence that the fair value is significantly below cost. Land. buildings and equipment: Land, buildings and equipment are recorded at cost, and buildings and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Donated assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of the gift. Maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. Expenditures which significantly increase asset values or extend useful lives are capitalized. . Contributions received: Contributions received, including bequests and other unconditional promises to give from a donor, are recognized as revenues at their fair values in the period received or in the period the Home both becomes aware of the promise and has sufficient infonnation to record it. The Home has infonnation on some promises to give for which sufficient infonnation is not available for the Home to record the amount of the promise or to properly classify it Conditional promises to give are recognized when they become unconditional, that is, when the conditions are substantially met. Deferred revenue: Assets contributed by residents that entered into Iifecare contracts (lifecare residents) were recorded as deferred revenue. Such assets are amortized to income using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining lives of the Iifecare residents. Estimated obligation to provide future services to lifecare residents: There is a liability for financial reporting purposes for the estimated costs to provide future services to lifecare residents (the estimated obligation) to the extent the present value of the estimated future costs to serve lifccare residents exceeds expected revenues from those residents, including a portion of investment income on restricted assets, Grand Lodge/Eastern Star per capita and resident income applicable to lifecare residents. As of June 30, 2004 and 2003, estimated future revenues associated with lifecare residents exceeded the estimated future costs to serve those residents. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in these financial statements for the estimated obligation to provide future services. As of June 30, 2004, there were only two lifecare residents. Nonoperating revenue and gains (losses): Items included in this category on the Statement of Activities include all revenues and gains and losses that represent changes to permanently restricted net assets, all other realized and unrealized gains and losses from investment securities, changes in the value of splitinterest agreements with donors, and unbudgeted gains and losses from disposal of equipment and other capital assets. Generally, revenues that are budgeted or available for operating purposes are reported under the "support and revenue" category in the Statement of Activities. FlUlCtiOnal allocation ofexpenses: The costs of providing the various programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis in a schedule supporting the statement of activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services.

S. UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS

The Home's residential care activities are conducted through the Operating Fund. This fund receives transfers of investment income from the Reserve and Endowment Funds. The Reserve Fund is comprised of assets available for operations, but for which the use has been limited by the Board of Directors. Interest and dividend income on these investments, net of investment management fees, is transferred to the Operating Fund for use in operations.

6. TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

Temporarily restricted net assets are comprised of gifts and bequests from donors which the donors require be spent for specific purposes (purpose restricted) or for which payments are to be received in a future period (time restricted). Once the gifts have been spent for their stipulated purposes or payments have been received for which there are no remaining purpose restrictions, restrictions are considered to have been met and the net assets will be reclassified as unrestricted. 14

Y RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

Permanently restricted net assets consist of general endowments and four special endowments. The general endowment is comprised of the Home's beneficial interest in perpetual trusts, contributions receivable from trusts for endowment purposes and general endowment funds. Funds invested for the special endowments are required to be segregated from other funds under the terms of the bequests. Missouri state law allows the governing board of a not-far-profit organization to appropriate so much of the net appreciation of an endowment fund as is prudent considering the organization's long and shortterm needs, present and anticipated financial requirements, expected total return on investments, price level trends, and general economic conditions. The Horne's board of directors has stipulated that general endowment fund gains be retained permanently in the fund. This stipulation is being accounted for as an interpretation of the aforementioned state law, and therefore general fund endowment gains and losses are included in permanently restricted net assets. The market values ofthe endowment funds were as follows at June 30: William Knollman Fund Jacob and Sallie Simon Fund Edwin H. and Sylvia G. Lee Fund John T. and Melba S. Sorenson Fund General endowment funds

ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER To: The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge ofAncient, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri: Greetings Fellow Members of Our Beloved Masonic Family, As Grand Master and thereby, on behalf of the Grand Lodge ofAncient, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri it is my privilege and pleasure to extend to each of you and to your Families, a hearty welcome to this, our 183 rd Annual Communication. If there are problems during your stay, then please bring those to me. If there are compliments, then please provide those to the Grand Lodge Staff and the Members of the Distinguished Guests Committee as these individuals have worked diligently and beyond reasonable expectations to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Thank you for your attendance and also for your support of myself, and of your Grand Lodge during this past year. In accordance with Our Constitution and By-Laws, it is now my privilege and obligation to provide the Craft with an accounting of my Official Acts during the past year. In so doing, I also submit for your consideration, my observations and recommendations concerning the state ofFreemasonry within our Grand Jurisdiction.

AREA MEETINGS A total of Eleven (11) Area Meetings were held this year. The locations of the Area Meetings are listed in my attached Itinerary and Jennifer and I personally, and on behalf of the Grand Lodge, wish to THANK EVERYONE that made all of those events listed in the Itinerary so very rewarding, enjoyable and memorable. The Craft, their Families, and the other Members of our Masonic Family very well attended the Area Meetings. During those Area Meetings, we were able to promote continuing education of the Masonic Family concerning the numerous opportunities for "further light in Freemasonry" by joining with and sharing the fellowship and family atmosphere of Masonry with our various, worthy Adoptive and Appendant Bodies. Additionally, we were enabled to honor the Leaders and other Representatives of our Masonic Family; provide education about the expanded services of your Masonic Home, and otherwise enjoy the fellowship that only the Masonic Family can and does provide. To all that planned, attended, presented, and otherwise participated in these Area Meetings, Each of You are extended my personal THANK YOU for making the same so enjoyable, meaningful and successful.

CHANGES AUTHORIZED IN C2A CLASSES The Craft authorized the creation of Chance-To-Advance Classes at the 177th Annual Communication. Since that time, each Grand Master has strived to make those classes as meaningful and effective as possible. This year, the Classes were extended to the Constituent Lodge Level whereby a Lodge was permitted to host the C2A Class with the consent and attendance of the D.D.G.M. and D.D.G.L. or a suitable and approved substitute of equal or greater rank. The results of this year's C2A Classes are reported in the Report of the Grand Secretary and are hereby incorporated by reference herein, subject to any supplementation that is required for final data occurring subsequent to printing of this and the Grand Secretary's Reports. This year, the Scottish Rite participated in "Hosting" C2A Classes and did an outstanding job in the use of the C2A Manual and otherwise conducting

2004

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

those classes around the State of Missouri. The Shrine is also becoming involved in "Hosting" and hopefully, future Grand Masters will continue this "joint cooperation" between the Members ofour Masonic Family to the mutual growth and benefit of our Entire Masonic Family. Moolah Shrine in St. Louis should also be recognized for establishing "Nobles Lodge" under dispensation and at this Annual Communication, we will be providing the Charter for our New, Constituent Lodge. What a wonderful and blessed thing it is to have our Entire Masonic Family "working together" to promote the Masonic Family. Thank Each ofYou for making this occur and for allowing a dream, to become a reality. In addition to the new Master Masons raised during C2A Classes, all newly raised Master Masters were given a Petition for Membership in: the Scottish Rite, the York Rite, the Shrine and Two (2) Petitions for Membership in the Order of the Eastern Star, one for the new Master Mason, and one for his Lady. Promoting increased knowledge of and participation in All ofour Masonic Family is the duty and obligation of every Member of the Family. To partially fulfill part of my obligation in that regard, as Your Grand Master, I Requested, Ordered and Directed Each Lodge raising aNew Master Mason to provide these Petitions to all New Master Masons. Through the Public Relations & Education Committee, we also distributed thousands of Appendant Bodies Booklets to the Craft. Those are being considered for use in other Grand Jurisdictions, and by other Members of our Masonic Family. The Booklet is now in the process of re-printing for a "THIRD EDITION" and has been distributed nation-wide and even, world-wide during the travels ofYour Grand Lodge Officers and Committee Members this past year. Thus, a hearty and sincere "Well DONE!" is extended to all of the Craft and particularly to the Membership ofthe Public Relations & Education Committees for the past Two (2) years. A VERY SPECIAL "Thank You" is also owed to M. W. Brother Jimmie D. Lee and to R. W. Brother Dr. Elmer E. Revelle for Each ofTheir respective, dedication to, cooperation in the formulation of, and the various other talents Each brought to the production ofthis new and successful Masonic Recruitment Tool. Countless Brothers and Sisters of Our Masonic Family have personally told me that because of this Booklet, they have "explored the Masonic Family" and joined new and different parts of our Masonic Family.

SPECIAL RECOGNITION One of the special privileges of being Grand Master is the ability to occasionally make, a special recognition. Therefore, to my dear and beloved Masonic Father and Mother, Most Worshipful Brother Donald E. Scott, and His First Lady, Anna Scott, the indebtedness that First Lady Jennifer and I owe to Each of YOU cannot be adequately stated. The gift of your fellowship and love, the other various gifts, and most especially, providing us with the opportunity to serve in the Advancing Line and thereby, to presently represent the Craft of Missouri as Grand Master and First Lady has been truly enjoyable, memorable and an unearned and underserved privilege of Grace by virtue of His motivating Each of Your kind offices so as to present the opportunity for the Craft to vote to give the same to us. The knowledge, counsel and other intangibles that Each ofYou have given us through our years on the Line have been invaluable and are truly cherished. You Both hold our mutual and individual personal love, respect, admiration and devotion not merely during this time here on earth, but also when we no longer count time and are before the Supreme Architect of the Universe performing to His Glorification and

Pleasure. Thank You Both, Mom and Dad, and may You Both continue to be blessed during all facets of time and throughout eternity. Your humble and grateful son hopes that he as acquitted himself so as to bring You Both pleasure and honor.

MASONIC YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS There are Three (3) and only Three (3) currently recognized and authorized Masonic Youth Organizations within the Jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Missouri. Those are: Job's Daughters; DeMolay; and Rainbow for Girls. Any other Youth Organization claiming to be Masonic has not been recognized by the Grand Lodge of Missouri and therefore, only these Three (3) Masonic Youth Organizations are worthy of being supported by the Craft. As Your Grand Master, I have dedicated this Year to the Masonic Family in General, and to OUR Beloved MASONIC YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS in Particular. The Future of Our Beloved Craft and Family lie in the very capable and loving hands of Our Masonic Youth. Support the Masonic Youth Organizations through Your attendance, service as Advisors, monetary contributions, and in each and every way possible. So doing will only "Cement and provide the Mortar" that holds OUR BELOVED FAMILY TOGETHER FOR TODAY, AND INTO OUR WONDERFUL FUTURE! The Grand Lodge Achievement Award has been altered the past couple of years so that finally, this year, promoting the Masonic Youth Organizations also became a priority in attaining not only the Regular Grand Lodge Achievement Award, but also, the newly created "Honor Lodge of Distinction" and "Truman Honor Lodge". Likewise, those new levels ofAchievement Awards also serve to promote Increasing Membership in the other Bodies ofour Masonic Family as well as promoting donations to the Grand Lodge Endowment Fund and to the Masonic Home of Missouri. In addition to these efforts, the Fraternal Relations Committee, Masonic Youth Committee and the Public Relations and Education Committee all participated in encouraging, promoting and fostering the growth of each of our Masonic Youth Organizations. We held the First Ever, Masonic Youth Day at the Masonic Complex in Columbia on Saturday, March 27, 2004. Throughout the year, the Discover the Masonic Family Medallions or Coins, honoring the journey of those Masonic Leaders, Lewis & Clark, were distributed to the Craft and voluntary donations were solicited. All proceeds of those donations will be divided and provided, in equal shares, to these Three (3) Masonic Youth Organizations at this Annual Communication. Masonic Youth Day was well attended and very enjoyable. It highlighted, and was very well attended by Our Entire Masonic Family and gifts and prizes were distributed to our Masonic Youth. The day culminated in a Dance and the Advancing Line has now pledged to make this project an Annual Event and a Priority for and by Future Grand Masters; therefore, Masonic Youth Day has now become an Annual Event so that our Masonic Youth know that they have the support of our Grand Lodge, all of the Constituent Lodges that comprise the Grand Lodge, and OUf Entire Masonic Family. If your Lodge does not have a Masonic Youth Organization, then please consider organizing and sponsoring one. Should the Lodge not be able to individually support such an endeavor, then please consider doing so in a Joint Effort with other Lodges or on the District Level. The Masonic Youth are our future and our legacy. They deserve and need our participation and support. I have been privileged to attend All Three (3) of the Annual Meetings for

2004

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

Our Masonic Youth. At DeMolay, I was unexpectedly honored and privileged to be named as the DeMolay, "Mason of the Year". The courtesies, kindnesses, and wonderful family involvement that Jennifer, Clay, Kirstie and I enjoyed at the Masonic Youth Meetings, both the Annual Meetings, and at others, cannot be adequately expressed, nor can sufficient appreciation be extended herein. Those were exceeded only by the "Joy, Hope, Energy, Commitment, Dedication, and Integrity" that were displayed by Each of these Great Masonic Organizations. My personal love for and respect of, DeMolay, Job's Daughters, and Rainbow for Girls grew with each event that I was privileged to attend and each time, One of Our Youth expressed themselves so eloquently to either myself, a member of our Family, or to one of our Line Officers, Committee Members, or through the comments received by me from the Craft. All Three (3) of YOUR MASONIC YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS have shown positive growth over the past year and likewise, new ways to encourage and promote Membership have been established by each in the form of Younger Youth Organizations being formed to permit those interested to learn about the Organization and to Participate "BEFORE" they could heretofore become a MEMBER. Our son, Clayton, joined DeMolay in reverse order - Clayton was first a Master Mason, then a National Sojourner, then a Scottish Rite Mason before becoming a Lifetime DeMolay. In taking the Journey to "Discover the Masonic Family", I also joined the High Twelve Club, and was privileged to be inducted into the K.C.C.H. of the Scottish Rite, into the Allied Masonic Degrees, made a Lifetime DeMolay, and an Honorary Lifetime Member of Moolah Shrine. A Grand Master must do more than merely "talk-the-talk"; he must also, "walk-the-walk" that he endeavors to motivate the Craft so to do. To the extent that time permitted me so to do, I have attempted to not merely "talk-the-talk", but to also, "walk-the-walk" with and for, Each ofYou. Jennifer, has also now joined the "Camp Followers" Ladies Organization ofthe National Sojourner's and of the Heroes of '76; and Clay is also now a Member of Heroes of'76. Truly, our family has been exceedingly and abundantly "Blessed" by the Supreme Architect of the Universe and by Our Beloved Masonic Family due to these privileges of Membership, Family and Fellowship being extended to Each and All of us. Thank You for these additional privileges. I would be "Very Remiss" not to mention the sacrifices and devotions that our Daughter Kirstie, and our Son Clayton have made while we represented You during our tenure on the Advancing Line. Our obligations to the Craft have prevented Jennifer and I from being able to allow Clayton and Kirstie to participate more completely and to learn more about the Masonic Youth Organizations and otherwise; however, Clayton and Kirstie have traveled thousands of miles with us, enjoy and love the Masonic Family, and have been received and welcomed so wonderfully by Each and All of You. Thank You Clayton, and Thank You Kirstie, for being with Mom and Dad each and every step of our journey!

DECISIONS, EDICTS & TRIAL COMMISSIONS Every Grand Master hopes, before being entrusted with the Office of Grand Master, that he will not be required to issue any Decisions, Edicts and especially, that no Trial Commissions will need to be appointed during his tenure as Grand Master. Most Worshipful Brother Harry S. Truman made the statement that, "The Buck Stops Here", in humble commemoration of that statement and likewise, in humble "honor" to my Masonic Family and Most Worshipful

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

2004

Brother Donald E. Scott (Dad)" I say, "Well, There You Go!" The "Buck" does stop with me and during the course of the past year, several Decisions, Orders, Edicts and Trial Commissions were required to be made, appointed, or otherwise distributed and dealt with. Copies of Each Such Decision are attached hereto and are hereby incorporated by reference as fully as if set forth verbatim herein. The Grand Secretary's Report is also hereby incorporated by reference verbatim herein to the extent that it contains the same, and in all other necessary respects so as to cover the Consents, Dispensations, Permissions and other Discretionary Actions and Mandatory Actions to be reported by the Grand Lodge Officers, the Grand Master, or otherwise. To that end as well, the Report of the Committee on Appeals and Grievances is likewise hereby incorporated by reference verbatim herein, and all such matters are hereby given and provided "Finality" that otherwise has been heretofore lacking. The work and dedication of Right Worshipful Brother Paul Tobias, as Chairman, and the dedication and integrity displayed by the Entire Committee is hereby recognized as being invaluable and honored "Service to the Craft" and holds my highest and deepest, sincere appreciation and respect. Thank Each ofYou for bringing these matters that have been allowed to "pend" to a final and exhaustive conclusion. I hereby approve each and every recommendation made by the Committee on Appeals and Grievances and recommend the same to the Jurisprudence Committee, the Committee on the Grand Master's Address, and to Our Beloved Craft for Approval, Ratification and Adoption. It has been suggested and recommended to me that I at least make some commentary about the necessity and success or failure of some of these Decisions. The Decision and Edict relating to Sunday Dispensations has been an "overwhelming success". Because of the same, our Grand Lodge Staff has saved hundreds of hours of time in keeping and maintaining those records Constituent Lodge Secretaries do need to do a more complete job of"reporting" such events to the Grand Lodge Offices; however overall, this experiment has proved to be worthwhile, successful and I commend it to Each New Grand Master to continue this practice. The Decision and Edict relating to "Circular Requests for Donations" has also been successful for the very same reasons. These "Decisions and Edicts" were tailored by me, to promote the idea of providing the Local or Constituent Lodge of the Grand Lodge the greatest degree of "flexibility" in Meetings, and also, to "decentralize" the control that has heretofore been reserved exclusively to the Office of the Grand Master. Only in a couple of very rare instances, did the Craft overstep the intent of these Decisions and Edicts and because the "intent of the Craft was good, despite the violation", the same were "healed" and nothing more need be said relating to such minor, innocently made and inadvertent transgressions. The Web Site Decision & Edict created some controversy as I knew well that it would. Some will continue to disagree that the same was necessary or even appropriate; however, through this Decision & Edict, the Grand Lodge has now been enabled to present a, "Unified and Single Forum for Distribution of Masonic Information in Missouri". The Fraternal Relations Committee and the Chairman, Most Worshipful Brother Jimmie D. Lee require "Special Recognition" for their ability to work together with the Other Members of Our Beloved Masonic Family and to thereby, "FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER,

CREATE" a Masonic Calendar upon the Grand Lodge Web Site whereby

2004

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

ALL MASONIC FAMILY MEMBERS can display and locate Each Masonic Event during the year, and hence; schedule Their Events as much as possible so as NOT TO CONFLICT with our other important events. The Sovereign Grand Inspector General, M. W. Brother Earl K. Dille of the Scottish Rite, the Three (3) Heads of the York Rite Bodies, the Four (4) Potentates of the Shrine, the Worthy Grand Matron and Patron, the Heads of Our Masonic Youth Organizations, and Each and Every Other Leader in Our Fraternity deserves a "HEARTY THANK YOU!" for cooperating and making this worthwhile endeavor possible and that potential for cooperation, into a reality "OF COOPERATION BETWEEN EQUAL MEMBERS OF OUR BELOVED MASONIC FAMILY!" Through the Web Site Decision & Edict, the Masonic Family also have obtained nearly One Hundred (100) New Members into the Blue Lodge, and undoubtedly, several others in Other Jurisdictions, as well as for Our Appendant and Adoptive Bodies. Total Costs for this Unified System for Our Constituent Lodges to maintain a Web Site has been Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) for the access over the next Three (3) Years. You can personally THANK Right Worshipful Brother Larry Houge, Chairman of the Public Relations and Education Committees for this wonderful accomplishment. No longer will "Cost be a Factor" in distributing Masonic Information. Likewise, when we "Speak as a Masonic Fraternity", One that Reads our Site can be assured that those things that are contained therein, are sow the Official Position of the Grand Lodge of Missouri, and not merely the ramblings and "wishes or incoherent wanderings" of those that "lack enlightenment". I firmly believe that only the Craft in the Annual Communication have the right to "Speak for Missouri Freemasonry" and that as Grand Master, I merely interpret the "Instructions of the Craft" so received. I commend this practice for the consideration and use of All Future Grand Masters. The Web Site is a wonderful success and Brother Nick Breedlove and Rick Hill are to be CONGRATULATED for their unselfish and total devotion to making this project into the successful and enduring endeavor that it has become. The Trial Commission appointed by M. W. Brother Jimmie D. Lee for the matter in St. Joseph, Missouri resulted in a finding that the Brother so charged was "Not Guilty". It should be noted that the Complainant "Brother" issuing the Charges, despite being personally notified of the Trial, failed to appear. As a result, the Constituent Lodge sustained the expenses necessary to conduct the Trial. Such expenses, in light of the Non-Appearance of the Complainant, now appear to have been "unwarranted or unnecessary"; however, our Trial Code must be honored and obeyed and therefore, the provision of this opportunity justifies the expenditures. To the Brother Found Not Guilty, He has and holds my "Personal Apology" for the inconveniences occasioned by the Trial and also by the failure of the Complainant to present Himself to be examined and to proceed with the Charges. Hopefully, the vindication of a "Not Guilty Verdict" is sufficient to make this apology more complete. The invaluable services of the Trial Commission consisting of: Brother Phillip S. Smith, Chairman, Brother Marvin Mendenhall, Member, and Right Worshipful Brother John Hess are hereby acknowledged and gratefulness for the integrity, devotion and service is hereby recorded and expressed. I denied a request from a Constituent Lodge for the Appointment of a Trial Commission relating to allegations that a Brother had "cheated, wronged and defrauded" another Brother by means of a Bad Check. After carefully

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

2004

investigating the circumstances, the Checks in Dispute were given and an agreement to "hold the checks" was made between the Brothers involved. Partial payments upon this "loan" had been made. I specifically found that the Trial Code was never intended to be used between Brothers for the purposes of collecting debts and therefore, I dismissed, with prejudice, all Masonic Charges relating to these allegations. During the course of the year, another Constituent Lodge found itself in the position of dealing with "Electioneering" having been conducted for the Office of Master of the Lodge. The matter was investigated by the District Deputy Grand Master, the District Deputy Grand Lecturer, and by Right Worshipful Brother Bruce Austin per my request. All of these Brothers certified to me that "Electioneering" had in fact occurred and that therefore, the Election of the Master was "Tainted". Because the Master-Elect had never been "Installed in Office", I declared the "Election Void Due the Taint of Electioneering" and Ordered that a New Election of Lodge Officers be conducted. A New Election was held, Lodge Officers were elected, and the Officers were Installed. Another Constituent Lodge requested the involvement of the Grand Lodge in enforcing the By-Laws that require Annual Audits be performed upon the accounts of the Lodge. I appointed a Special Audit Committee consisting of: Right Worshipful Brother Ronald Jones, Chairman, Right Worshipful Brother Thomas Truman, Member and Right Worshipful Brother David Ramsey, Member. Right Worshipful Brother Gail S. Turner, Junior Grand Steward was the Grand Lodge Line Officer assigned and requested to have oversight in these matters. An Audit for Three (3) years was then conducted and the findings were provided to the Constituent Lodge. Because the Treasurer failed to cooperate with the Audit, with Masonic Subpoenas issued in my capacity as Grand Master, and various other acts of insubordination, I removed the Lodge Treasurer from Office, appointed the District Deputy Grand Master of that District as Interim Treasurer until the next regular election of Lodge Officers could be held, and declared the former Treasurer to be ineligible for any Elective Office within the Lodge until after the close of the One Hundred Eighty-Fourth (184 th ) Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge. The Constituent Lodge was also placed upon "Probation" requiring the Lodge to fully comply with all recommendations of the Special Audit Committee and to perform an Annual Audit and to provide the next Grand Master with the same, at which time, the Next Grand Master can make a determination about the need to continue or to dissolve the "Probation" of the Lodge. The work of Right Worshipful Brothers Ron Jones, Tom Truman, David Ramsey and Gail Turner was performed with integrity, dignity, patience and compassion. Their respective dedication to the Craft and to fairness, Masonic Courtesy and all other aspects of Each ofThese Brother's Conduct during the course of the Special Audit mandates me to express the sincere appreciation of myself, and of the Grand Lodge for the same. Another issue arose from allegations of misconduct relating to matters of "Bingo" and other issues inside of a "Local Shrine Club" subordinate to One of the Missouri Shrine Centers. After an exhaustive investigation that I personally conducted, I found that the matter was "outside the jurisdiction" of the Grand Lodge and was instead, within the "Exclusive Jurisdiction" of the Appendant Body or Missouri Shrine Center under which the Local Shrine Club operated. The Potentate of the Shrine Center cooperated fully with the investigation as also did the Imperial Potentate, and all others involved.

2004

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

Therefore, I dismissed the attempt to file Masonic Charges, with prejudice, as the same had been previously handled by the Shrine Center and Potentate who had "Jurisdiction" over the same and therefore, the resolution of those issues would be "res judicata"; thereby "collaterally estopping" intervention upon the allegations being raised. Other "rumors" of additional matters were raised during my investigation and because those "rumors" had no substantive or written foundation, nor had any "formal complaints" been filed relating to the same, I did not deal with these "rumors" or matters beyond reserving "Jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge" so that if these matters evolved into a "present controversy", then a Subsequent Grand Master would be free to consider and potentially deal, or dismiss the matters as the circumstances then and there before the Grand Master and the best interests and welfare of the Entire Masonic Family might require. Another matter arose in St. Charles Lodge No. 241 involving allegations of Masonic Misconduct that remains pending as of the time of the writing of the Grand Master's Address. At the recommendation of Right Worshipful Brother M. Robert Berger, I appointed a Trial Commission consisting of: Right Worshipful Brother Thomas H. Nations, Chairman, Right Worshipful Brother Richard L. Smith, Member, and Worshipful Brother Terry Lee Duffy. That matter should be resolved prior to the 184th Annual Communication and I leave it to my successor to detail the findings and actions made or taken therein. As is the case with all Grand Masters, numerous minor disturbances within the Craft arose during the course of the past year that were dealt with as they arose, and that do not deserve memorialization. On the other hand, it is important to potentially comment to Our Beloved Craft that IF THE BROTHERS would "FIRST REMEMBER" their respective Masonic Obligations and conduct themselves in accord with the Tenets of Our Institution, most of these "minor bumps in the road" would never arise. If the Craft spent only a fraction of the time promoting Freemasonry, Membership and Harmony within the Masonic Family that many "opt to spend attempting to find or to create discord that does not otherwise exist", then Our Fraternity as a Whole would greatly benefit by increased Membership and renewed vigor in promoting ourselves within the Community at Large. By an informal and unwritten Decision and Opinion of the Grand Master, I gave specific permission for the Annual Proceedings and for the Grand Lodge Constitution and By-Laws to be considered by the Grand Secretary as being "Published" within the meaning of the Grand Lodge Constitution and By-Laws by reducing and distributing the same via "electronic media" of all forms, kinds, natures, types and descriptions as they currently exist, or which may hereafter come into vogue. These include, but are not limited to: C.D. Rom, Floppy Discs, and all other forms of similar or related "publications". The reduced costs involved make this Decision and Order necessary to preserve the assets of the Grand Lodge and upon adoption of this Grand Master's Address, this informal Decision and Order will be considered to be precedent and binding until changed by a Future Grand Master's Decision, or until altered by revision of the Grand Lodge Constitution and/or By-Laws. It is merely my interpretation of the plain language of the existing Constitution and By-Laws as a "Flexible and Continuing" Document that was intended to include "NEW INNOVATIONS IN PUBLICATION AND MEDIA PRESENTATION" in addition to the tried and true of Hard Bound Books. It is a supplementation and augmentation that permits additional forms of publication, and is NOT a replacement of

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

2004

Hard Bound Copies. However, I have also authorized that Lodges and Individuals hereafter be "Charged the costs of Production" for Hard Bound Books rather than the inexpensive medium of electronic media. The Conference of Grand Masters of North America has a Committee on Recognition that does exhaustive work, determining the "qualifications" for recognition based upon Applications Submitted by Grand Jurisdictions requesting "Recognition" from North American Grand Lodges. This year, it appears that potentially, the York Rite Bodies of Missouri Masonry "may" have recognized at least One (1) Grand Jurisdiction which was recommended "Not to be Recognized" by the Unanimous Vote of the Conference of Grand Masters of North America. Thus, to prevent potential problems from arising in the future, I do recommend that All Missouri Masonic Family Members first "Check with the Missouri Grand Lodge and the Missouri Grand Lodge Committee on Recognition" as well as with the Conference of Grand Masters of North America BEFORE considering extending "Recognition" to any "Grand Jurisdiction" in the future. The Decision and Conditional "Healing Order" issued relating to Suspensions for Non-Payment of Dues was likewise highly successful and I recommend to All Subsequent Grand Masters that the same be continued. Despite the language utilized in that Healing Order, NO MASON WAS HEALED BY ME, without FIRST receiving the affirmative VOTE AND REQUEST from His Constituent Lodge. By forcing our Lodges to work on Suspensions for NonPayment, the total amount of suspensions "DECREASED" from last year of over 1,400 to just under 400 as of the time of the writing of the Grand Master's Address. In addition, approximately 400 Master Masons have been "RESTORED" to Full Membership after careful investigation and the affirmative Vote, of their Home Lodges. Thank You Brethren for cooperating and making this endeavor work so very well and especially, for "BRINGING MASTER MASONS - BACK HOME!" Our Adoptive and Appendant Bodies have also greatly benefited from this Decision and Order as several formerly "Suspended" Members of those Masonic Family Members are NOW back with Full Membership in those Masonic Bodies as well. All of these matter merely "PROVE" that when "BROTHERS COME TOGETHER WITH UNITY OF PURPOSE" then the Entire Masonic Family benefits. Each of You did the work and made these matters successful. Truly, the Craft this year, "KICKED IT UP, ANOTHER NOTCH"!!!

CEREMONIES One of the major "Highlights" of every Grand Master's Year is the privilege of conducting the Ceremonies of the Grand Lodge. This year, Cornerstones were Laid and Dedicated at the new Public Library in Holden, Missouri; at the New Lodge Building in Whitewater, Missouri; and at the new Sheriff's Office and Correctional Facility in Fayette, Missouri. Numerous other Ceremonies were conducted by means of the presentation of 25 year, 50 year and great years of service "Jewels". Of those, Two (2) particularly stand out. It was my honor and privilege to present Most Worshipful Brother Judge J. Morgan Donelson with His Fifty (50) Year Jewel commemorating only a small "portion of His devotion, dedication, love of and for, and service" to the Grand Lodge, His Lodge and Our Entire Masonic Family. Thank You Most Worshipful Sir for allowing me that opportunity to share in celebrating and commemorating YOUR WONDERFUL SERVICE TO OUR CRAFT.

2004

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

The second instance was likewise so very memorable as it was my privilege and pleasure to present Right Worshipful Brother Stanton T. Brown, Grand Lecturer Emeritus, with His Fifty (50) Year Jewel. Right Worshipful Brother Stanton gave me my first "Buckeye" within a few weeks of my being "raised" during one of His Schools of Instruction. I was able to return that "Buckeye" to Right Worshipful Brother Stanton as part of the presentation. In addition, I honored His Lady, Johnnie Brown, by presenting Lady Johnnie with a Fifty (50) Year Jewel to commemorate Her sacrifices and the love that She has given to Our Craft and the Fraternity by allowing Right Worshipful Brother Stanton to be gone from home those Twenty (20) years as Grand Lecturer, and otherwise throughout their Fifty (50) plus years of Marriage as They Both traveled the Nation and the World, promoting and furthering the interests and welfare of Our Entire Masonic Family. Thank You Right Worshipful Sir and Lady Johnnie for allowing me this opportunity to share and to celebrate Your joy and to partially commemorate the Services You Both have given to a grateful and loving Fraternity. Likewise, it was my pleasure and privilege to share in the Celebration of 100 years of service, 150 years of service to various Lodges around the State of Missouri. During the year, the kind offices and wonderfully delicious cooking of the Lodge Members, the Order ofthe Eastern Star, the Masonic Youth Groups and others that donated their time and efforts to our events caused me to, "put on a few pounds". From the Fried Turkey and Fried Pork Loin, to the Prime Rib, to the "Wild Game Feed", to the Fried Fish, to the general sandwiches, to Fried Chicken, to Ribs and BBQ, Masonic Green Beans, and the many other varieties of all kinds of fabulous culinary delicacies, I cannot THANK EACH AND ALL OF YOU ENOUGH. Lord also knows, that desserts were at least as good as were the main courses and probably, the former are more responsible for my having "put on a few pounds" than anything else. Jennifer, myself and various Line Officers were also privileged to enjoy a Dance with the Fifth Thursday Club in Wright City, the Annual "Capping of the Grand Master" at Pleasant Hill, the wonderful fellowship in Hiawatha, Kansas, the meeting with the Kansas Grand Line at Albert Pike, the Grand Master's Breakfasts in St. Louis and elsewhere, the trip to the Imperial Shrine in Denver at the invitation of Ararat Shrine, and so many other wonderful Masonic Functions. Thank Each of You again for the privilege of being invited and permitted to attend and to participate; and also, for the phenomenal courtesies extended.

CONTINUATION OF EXISTING PROGRAMS This past year also continued to promote the successful programs of the past. Ten-For-Ten; One Hundred-For-Ten; Penney-a-Day; Adopt-a-Resident; Order ofthe Past Master, the Grand Master's Class for the National Sojourners; the Lodge Ritual Awards; the Individual Ritual Awards and various other existing and important Programs of the Grand Lodge continued to prove themselves successful and worthwhile. In addition, Right Worshipful Brother Bill Beatty and Right Worshipful Brother Nick Cichielo, along with several other Devoted Brothers, presented Numerous New Methods, and Older Methods that have been revitalized, to Lodges all over the State promoting Membership Development, Recruitment, and the various other aspects necessary for Growth of the Entire Masonic Family. A Special Thank You is owed to Each of these Brothers for their personal dedication and hard work for the Craft. In total candor, NO NEW PROGRAM was instituted this year. Several years

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

2004

ago during my early tenure on the Advancing Line, Most Worshipful Brothers Don Scott, Bob Jenkins, Bill Hill, Vern Schneider, Dan Cole, Bob Downey, Earl Dille, Dale Motter, Gordon Hopkins, Jeff Nations, Bill Soutiea, Freddie Adams, Glenn Means, Judge Donelson, and Jimmie Lee all "told me" to "read the past Proceedings" of the Grand Lodge and to pay particular attention to the "Address of the Grand Master" each year. I thereafter read the Proceedings as far back as time permitted taking me into the 1860's. From that information, I formulated the programs for this year - based upon the "RECOMMENDATIONS" of Past Grand Masters made as part of their Grand Master's Address. Their recommendations "WORK" and have been "SO VERY SUCCESSFUL". Thus, it is to the Heritage, Legacy and Wisdom of the Craft, and particularly of Our Beloved Past Grand Masters that this Year has had and enjoyed any and all ofthe successes that Each of Us have enjoyed. THANK YOU, MOST WORSHIPFUL SIRS!

VETERAN'S & THE MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION At the Conference of Grand Masters of North America held in February 2004 in Washington, D.C., I received the privilege and honor to NOMINATE, MOST WORSHPFUL BROTHER P. VINCENT KINKEAD, for Re-Election to the Board of the Masonic Service Association. Most Worshipful Brother Kinkead has served on the Board with great distinction and integrity and was UNANIMOUSLY RE-ELECTED for another term. As I stated during the Nomination, I have the privilege of holding the same "Rank of Office" as Most Worshipful Brother Kinkead; however, I will never attain the "dignity, stature and integrity" by which He continues to display His Love for the Masonic Family. The Masonic Service Association continues to be an important and invaluable part of Missouri Freemasonry. Volunteers continue to visit our Veterans in their homes, in Hospitals and elsewhere. It was my privilege to meet with the Veterans in Warrensburg, Missouri earlier this year and to celebrate a portion of their accomplishments as men, as Masons and as Americans with these beloved Brothers. While in Washington, D.C., I was also privileged to visit Arlington National Cemetery and to observe the "Changing of the Guard" at the "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier". Tears of admiration, respect, love and joy flowed from the eyes of your Grand Master as I watched the "Guards so faithfully perform their duties" and also, while walking through the National Cemetery; and also, at the various other National Veteran's Memorials that I visited. Brethren, the Men and Women of our Armed Forces: past, present and future and the sacrifices they make, and the sacrifices made by their Families cannot be adequately THANKED. We live in a Free County, we meet as Freemasons, and we are able to enjoy our lives because ofTHESE BELOVED INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES! The Supreme Architect of the Universe "Ordained" that during time, we would only have "True Freedom" by means of "Military Victory". Nobody does it better than the Men and Women of the Armed Forces of the United States of America. God Bless Them, Our Nation, and Each and All of You!

PILOT COOPERATIVE PROGRAM Illustrious and Most Worshipful Sir, Earl K. Dille, S.GJ.G. of the Scottish Rite in Missouri contacted me concerning a Pilot Project between the Scottish

2004

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

Rite and the Grand Lodge of Missouri designed to potentially increase Membership in Both Bodies, and also, to hopefully reduce the number of Suspensions for Non-Payment of Dues. The Scottish Rite recently purchased a very excellent Data Base System and the Grand Lodge of Missouri, via the work of Illustrious and Most Worshipful Brother Dille and myself in discussions with Illustrious Grand Commander Seale, and Right Worshipful Brothers Dr. Elmer E. Revelle and Ronald D. Miller, are instituting a new cooperative program to explore these potentials for mutual exchanges of Membership information via our respective Data Bases. If successful, then the proposition will eventually be submitted to the Conference of Grand Masters of North America for potential similar use in all our Grand Masonic Jurisdictions. Through these avenues, Each of Our Masonic Family Members will eventually be invited to participate and thereby, an Entire State Data Base of Members for the Missouri Masonic Family may be a reality sometime in the next few months or years. Every possible protection from potential "misuse or abuse" of the Membership information is being considered and implemented and therefore, it will take "Time" to make this project into an effective and efficient mechanism for greater Joint Cooperation and Exchanges of Information between the Members of Our Masonic Family. Because the News is "Exciting" and the "Potentials are so Wonderful", I felt it incumbent upon myself to inform the Craft of the continuing work of our Past Grand Masters such as Most Worshipful Sir Dille and so many others, to keep the Missouri Masonic Family "at the lead and cutting edge" of Freemasonry nation-wide and world-wide.

SPECIAL RECOGNITIONS "YOUR MAGNIFICENT SEVEN" During each year, a few individuals truly do remarkable and unexpected things that promote Masonry and that exceed any and all reasonable expectations for service. For this year only, I created a "Special Recognition Award" and a "Certificate to Commemorate Devoted and Honorable Service" and have limited the number of "Recipients" to be so honored to Seven (7). I did this in part because the Holy Writings of various forms of religion frequently consider the Number Seven (7) to be, "The Number of Perfection". To delineate the things that have set these Brethren apart would be to potentially "embarrass" Each ofThem. Each devoted Himself to the duties assigned, took upon themselves additional duties, and then went further, and created new ideas, programs and otherwise promoted and encouraged the overall growth and benefit of Our Entire Masonic Family. So many of the Craft have done so many things that the "choices" I had to make to limit the number to Seven (7) were extreme; however, these Seven (7) Brothers deserve Your Congratulations and Thank You for their dedication, integrity and hard work for YOU! They are: Right Worshipful Brother Robert Cockerham, Right Imminent Sir, Thomas Yunick, Right Worshipful Brother Larry Houge, Right Worshipful Brother Nicholas Cichielo, Right Worshipful Brother Randy Berger, Right Worshipful Brother Ronald Jones and Right Worshipful Brother Thomas Truman. Brethren, these are the people that I am privileged to now call this year's, "MAGNIFICENT SEVEN". Please find time to individually congratulate and thank Each of Them for their hard work and dedication to the Craft.

2004

MASONIC CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION MISSOURI MASONIC FOUNDATION FOR THE PREVENTION OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE, INC. The Masonic Children's Foundation is the nomenclature that we now use as the moniker for the corporation we formed in the early 1990's known as, "The Missouri Masonic Foundation for the Prevention of Substance Abuse, Inc." When the Grand Lodge formed this laudable cause by Resolution authorizing the creation of the same as a Section 501 (c)(3) I.R.S. Corporation under the law of the State of Missouri, the Craft opted not to provide permanent funding for the program. Notwithstanding this oversight, the Members ofthe Board of Directors have each year, endeavored to work with limited funding and means to make the program effective. Part time employees of various types have attempted to bring the program into local schools and to other professionals dealing with children. Each year, participation in our Program has diminished. This is in part due to the fact that we never obtained "exclusive rights via copyright" to our Program and instead, made the decision to permit others to copy the same being more than pleased that the information was "getting out and being used" to assist Missouri Children in Need. I do not believe in concealing "information, even distressing information" from the Craft and therefore, I am compelled to report that over the course of the past Five (5) years, approximately Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($375,000.00 plus) has been expended to assist our Missouri Youth, with over Two Hundred Fifty-Thousand Dollars ($250,000) of that sum expended in the last Three (3) years servicing less that a Total of One Hundred (l00) people. The MCF Board this year has taken the valiant step of doing away with the "Old Substance Abuse Program" and is now working on a potential, Pilot Program involving "CHIPS - Child Identification Program System" in cooperation with Missouri Law Enforcement Agencies, Missouri Dentists and a Nation-wide Program sponsored through the Masonic Service Association of North America. If successful, then the MCF needs to be funded and continued as a worthwhile project and program of the Grand Lodge and only the time involved in the next Two (2) or Three (3) years will tell the tale about the success or failure of these endeavors. Personally, I recommend that a "FULL-TIME DIRECTOR" be hired to service the project because only by "Full-Time Attention", will the project be and become successful. The "PARTTIME DIRECTORS" of the past Fourteen (14) years, while devoted in their respective "tenures of service" have been a total failure in production. Should the NEW PILOT PROJECT prove to not be successful in the next Two (2) or Three (3) years, then it is my recommendation that the Masonic Children's Foundation be dissolved and the monies being expended there, can be better utilized by the Grand Lodge to fund other, more productive, effective and worthwhile projects and endeavors. The MCF has changed and re-organized at least Three (3) different times during my "Tenure on the Advancing Line" prior to this present attempt to make the Program efficient and effective. Thus, this should be our "last attempt" and if it proves worthwhile, then we have something to build upon. If not, then it is past time to, "PUT THE BABY TO BED" and to "MOVE ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS". Thus, the MCF Board for the next few years has an even greater challenge than did the original Board Members in either making the Program work, or deciding to recommend to the Craft that we simply need to "close the program". Hopefully, the Program will find the

energy and support of the Craft with the Potentials of the New Pilot Program to become an integral part of our Masonic Charitable Endeavors.

YOUR MASONIC HOME OF MISSOURI While the MCF presently could be called an area of "concern"; ''Your Masonic Home of Missouri" continues to be a "Guiding, Shining Light of Hope and Progress" that is such a tremendous asset to the Entire Masonic Family. Originally conceived and created in the late1800's as a "Widows and Orphans Home", and initially funded through the generous donations of the York Rite of some "$35,000.00" - a tremendous amount given circumstances of that era - the Masonic Home of Missouri expanded in the 1940's into Adult Care Services. In the early 1970's, we made the decision to "close the Children's Home" and in the late 1980's and early 1990's, Your Masonic Home abandoned "LIFE CARE CONTRACTS" and instead, embarked upon the most successful venture and most ingenious invention for Adult Care within the Adult Care Industry in the form of the "MISSOURI OUTREACH SERVICES PROGRAM". The Grand Jurisdictions of Oklahoma and New York have just recently "Adopted the Missouri Outreach Services Plan" with New York supplementing their services by incorporating the same, and Oklahoma selling out the "Bricks & Mortar" and going exclusively with a "Modified Missouri Outreach Services Plan". At the Conference of Grand Masters of North America held February 2004 in Washington, D.C., the talented StaffofYour Masonic Home of Missouri totally captivated and mesmerized the Grand Masters and Other Dignitaries with their presentation of the Missouri Model for the Outreach Services Program. Last year, the Craft authorized the Masonic Home to, "go back to our roots" and to "Reinvest in the Children's Program". By so doing, new "Children's Outreach Services Programs" are already in place and are working so wonderfully providing Missouri Children with supplies, services and covering heretofore "unmet needs" that previously, we could not so do. The Board of Directors of the Masonic Home, as well as that very talented Staff, deserves Each of Your hearty Thanks, and a pat on the back for Work Well Done! Likewise, the past wisdom of the various prior Boards of Directors and the work of Past Grand Masters getting Your Masonic Home to the point of being "THE CUTTING EDGE" in the provision of Adult Care and Youth Services Nation-wide, needs to be likewise "acknowledged and thanked". No longer are "Bricks & Mortar" the issue or the desire. Expenditures to maintain facilities can now be used more efficiently, effectively and productively by going "into the homes" and "into Each Community" to serve "EACH PERSON" as "HE or SHE may Need". Talk about a "Vision of Wisdom" that ended up being, "THE EPITOMY OF PRODUCTION", the Boards that moved from "Life Care to Outreach Services" and then "Expanded Outreach Services" to our present circumstances deserve our respect and admiration for the courage to "take the chance of failure" in "order to also make the potential for success". The Craft needs to likewise be congratulated and "THANKED" for likewise, "being on board the train and taking the risks" - YOUR RISKS HAVE NOW BEEN REWARDED WITH UNQUESTIONABLE SUCCESS!!! In June 2004, a Masonic Children's Home Reunion was held at the Masonic Complex in Columbia. If anyone thought that the "Old Children's Home" did not make a difference, then that person should have heard all of the "telling of the tales out of school" done by our Former Children's Home Residents.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

2004

Discussions of how Most Worshipful Brother Harry S. Truman visited frequently, how "kids would appropriate ice cream" or "sneak in after curfew" were many and very enjoyable. The event was so well attended and the love between Our Former Residents was so very evident. The work of the "Past", continues to have "Positive Effects" upon the "Future". Good Work, My Brothers! I would also be very remiss if I did not congratulate and extend my personal appreciation to the work performed by "This Year's Board of Directors", the "Excellent Staff" and in particular, to Lady Karin Bell, Executive Director, and to Right Worshipful Brother Dr. Elmer E. Revelle as Board President and C.E.O. for the phenomenal work, innovations and accomplishments that were done in the name ofYour Home and for Your Benefit this past year. Well Done, Thou Good and Faithful Servants!

MASONIC FAMILY MATTERS The Craft deserves "high honors" for getting on board the train and taking the "Voyage to Discover the Masonic Family" this past year. The programs to increase Membership and Participation in All our Masonic Bodies have been successful. Through the generosity of the Craft, the Lewis & Clark Coins have raised over $8,000.00 for the Masonic Youth, as of this writing with the final total to be announced at the Annual Communication, at which time the Three (3) Masonic Youth Organizations will receive their respective One-Third (113) share of these funds. THANK YOU AND EACH OFYOU FOR MAKING THIS PROJECT A SUCCESS. I had hoped for "$4,500.00", prayed for "$6,000.00" but through His Grace and the Generosity of the Craft, all my expectations and hopes have been so wonderfully exceeded. I do wish to make some recommendation about issues that have arisen relating to "rental of Masonic Buildings" by Members of our Masonic Family. I request the Lodges and Building Associations to PLEASE CONSIDER that in supporting our Masonic Youth, waiver of "rental fees" is something that ought to be considered and if at all feasible, done. Likewise, when we "charge rent" to the O.E.S., York Rite, Scottish Rite, Shrine, and other Bodies of Masonry, please also remember, that in, "TRUTH" we are only again "Charging Our Wives, Children, Parents, Grandparents, Brothers and Sisters". Hence, please be patient and understanding and all Parts of the Masonic Family need to contribute as best they can to the expenses involved in maintaining our Facilities; however, when funds are otherwise available, then "Those Parts of the Masonic Family" that can afford more, need to pay more and to allow "Those Parts of the Masonic Family" that lack the assets, to use our Facilities are a very reduced, minimal or no cost. I do understand that with the possibly exception of Our Masonic Youth Organizations [Each of Such Organizations I request and hope will be "exempted from rental fees], that it is often necessary for All Other Parts of Our Masonic Family to contribute to the overall costs involved in maintaining Lodge Buildings. Each Masonic Body must therefore, carefully review and make a reasonable contribution towards these rising expenses; however, temper the overall costs through cooperation, not merely via mandates without discussions and explanations for the "need" to have additional revenues. One Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star was forced this year, to consolidate with Another Chapter elsewhere because of the "Fees involved" in rental and thus, a new "location" had to be obtained and Our Lodge, lost it's O.E.S. Chapter. I have provided copies of the correspondence involved in that

2004

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

situation to the Members ofthe Advancing Line and comment only that "NONE OF THE PARTIES INVOLVED IN THAT CORRESPONDENCE" distinguished themselves either as Masons, or as O.E.S. Members. My Brethren, we can and must do better to cooperate as a "Masonic Family". To quote in part, from Imperial Sir M. Burton Oien, Junior Past Imperial Potentate, "There is No I, in We!"

PRINCE HALL FREEMASONRY I have had communications with the Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Missouri and basically, the present circumstances relating to "mutual recognition" are at an impasse' until such time as the Prince Hall Grand Lodge determines to permit further recognitions. Therefore, it is my recommendation that the Craft of the Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri, approve and adopt a Resolution that extends to the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge as full and complete of recognition as the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge extends to the Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri, reserving to Each Grand Lodge, all dignity, respect and jurisdiction and further only authorizing duality of membership and privileges as far as the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge extends the same to Our Grand Lodge. The dues for membership in Prince Hall Lodges far and away exceed any "dues" charged annually by our Constituent Lodges. Therefore, there is a very understandable and reasonable reluctance on the part of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge to create any closer bond between our Respective Grand Lodges than currently exists out of reasonable and understandable concern for the potential loss of Membership because of the attractiveness to "switch Membership" created by the "lesser dues" that our Constituent Lodges impose. I fully understand, concur and respect the decisions of my Most Worshipful Counterpart in these matters and recommend to Our Craft that we honor and respect those concerns until such time as the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge makes alternative overtures. It presently appears that the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge merely desired the "legitimization of co-existence in Missouri" by the Grand Lodge of Missouri "recognizing" the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge as a Sister, Masonic Jurisdiction. We should be and remain receptive for all such overtures and should encourage the same; yet we also need to respect the History and Traditions of our Sister Grand Jurisdiction of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Missouri. I am also aware that several requests for recognition have been submitted from Other Prince Hall Grand Jurisdictions and until the Grand Lodge ofAncient, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri can obtain cooperative information concerning "recognition" by the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Missouri relating to these "Other Prince Hall Jurisdictions", it would be my recommendation to allow these "issues" to continue to "Pend".

LOYAL ORANGE INSTITUTION During this past year, I became aware of an organization known, at least by some, as the "Loyal Orange Institution". It advertises on the York Rite Web Sites, and apparently has permission from at least Two (2) Constituent Lodges

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

2004

of the Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri to meet within the "TILED AREAS" of the Lodges. No record of any Past Grand Master granting Masonic Recognition has been able to be presented to me, nor has any Past Grand Master with Whom I have conferred, indicated any consent to allow for the meeting of this "Organization" within the "TILED AREAS" of our Constituent Lodges. Based upon these circumstances, I requested Most Worshipful Brother Donald E. Scott, Chairman ofthe Committee on Recognition and His Committee to investigate and to report to this Annual Communication the findings made relating to the Masonic Affiliation, or Lack Thereof, of the Loyal Orange Institution. I hereby incorporate by reference each and all of the Report of the Committee on Recognition relating to the Loyal Orange Institution, into my Grand Master's Address as fully as if set forth verbatim herein. To prevent a Future Grand Master from having to deal with an issue that is unpleasant, I make the following finding that will become the Decision, Order and Official Position of the Grand Lodge ofAncient, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri upon the adoption, approval and ratification of this Grand Master's Address. The Loyal Orange Institution is NOT a Masonic Entity, nor does it purport to claim itself so to be. The Membership of the Institution that might consist of Missouri Freemasons are hereby cautioned and warned NOT TO PROMOTE MEMBERSHIP in the Loyal Orange Institution by representing or implying that such organization has ANY MASONIC AFFILIATION WHATSOEVER. It may NOT be advertised in Any Publication of the Grand Lodge or of any Subordinate Lodges, that Entity MAY NOT USE THE TILED AREAS OF OUR CONSTUTENT LODGES OR OF ANY BUILDING DEDICATED FOR MASONIC PURPOSES WITHIN THE AREA DEDICATED FOR TILED LODGE PURPOSES, and may not be linked to any Grand Lodge or Constituent Lodge Web Site. Membership by the Craft is optional the same as for joining a Rotary, Optimist or other similar club; however, The Loyal Orange Institution is expressly declared NOT TO HAVE ANY MASONIC AFFILIATION WHATSOEVER. Further, Web Sites within the Appendant and Adoptive Bodies of Freemasonry that permit "Links" to the Loyal Orange Institution are NOT TO BE PERMITIED TO LINK TO ANY AUTHORIZED WEB SITE OF THE GRAND LODGE OF ANCIENT, FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI unless and until the link to the Loyal Orange Institution by such other Masonic Body has been eliminated. It is understandable to some degree that over-zealous Members of our Craft have caused this "organization" to be created and promoted in Missouri and have mistakenly so done, misrepresenting it to some Missouri Masons in soliciting them as Members that the same is either a "Masonic" entity, or is an "Honor Body" of the York Rite. Again, the Loyal Orange Institution is NOT a Masonic Entity and that entity itself, disclaims any Masonic Affiliation. Thus is should never and must NEVER be promoted as any form of a Masonic Institution and all connections between that "organization" and the Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri must be consistently and permanently DENIED.

GRAND LODGE STAFF Each year during my tenure on the Advancing Line, I have developed a deeper and more permanent respect for, and dedication to the Staff at the

2004

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

Grand Lodge Offices. These wonderful and talented individuals, including the Grand Secretary Ronald D. Miller, devote their time, talents, efforts and lives to the promotion of our Craft and our Masonic Charities. They answer difficult questions, deal with daily issues, and always display proper decorum and etiquette To Ron, Amy, Nancy, Sandy, Adrienne and Becky, THANK YOU AND EACH OF YOU! I AM FOREVER IN YOUR DEBT and You Each hold my personal respect and admiration for all that You do and especially, for all that Each of You have done and continue to do for Jennifer, Clay, Kirstie and myself. Coming into the Grand Lodge Offices is just like walking into our own "HOME" and that, is because You Each, make it so. You do it for us, and You do so with the same Grace and Poise with Everyone that walks through our Grand Lodge Office doors. THANK YOU EACH, AGAIN!

LONG RANGE PLANNING The work of Right Worshipful Brother John Sissel as Facilitator this year on the Long Range Planning Committee cannot be adequately thanked, nor the production that the Line Officers and Other Committee Members made sufficiently stated. The Report of that Committee, although technically my responsibility, is the craftsmanship ofYour Advancing Line and ofR. W. Brother Sissel and I hereby incorporate the same as fully as if set forth verbatim herein. THANK EACH OF YOU for "Planning for the Future of Missouri Freemasonry"!

SPECIAL PROJECTS During my tenure on the Advancing Line, probably the most difficult task that I ever encountered was to attempt to read and interpret the Constitution and By-Laws by also considering the Past Decisions, Edicts, and Orders of Grand Masters and also, the Resolutions and alterations made by the Craft at the Annual Communication. Therefore, this year I appointed a Special Committee on "Decisions & Edicts" to bring together all of this Historical Information into a single document. To accomplish this purpose, I appointed Joint Chairmen of the Committee in the persons of Right Worshipful Brother Larry C. Reynolds and R. W. Brother Larry Moss. Both of these Brothers, and Each Member of Their Committee have acquitted themselves beyond my personal requests and expectations. The book is now completed and the Report of that Committee is hereby incorporated by reference, as fully as if set forth verbatim herein. It is my recommendation and request that the Next Grand Master cause this Book to be published and that each Year hereafter, the same be supplemented and distributed to the Craft for purposes of making our Constitution and By-Laws a meaningful document that includes all prior interpretations and decisions and that demonstrates the changes made, together with the explanations therefore. To the Committee, and particularly to Right Worshipful Brothers Moss and Reynolds, YOU HAVE MADE MY "PET PROJECT" for the year, into a "REALITY". THANK YOU, and EACH OF YOU for the countless hours of dedicated and invaluable service Each of You have provided. Right Worshipful Brother John Broyles also deserves "Special Recognition" as He has made the "book" or materials "computer ready" and that also, was a true labor of "Love of and for the Craft". Thank You, Right Worshipful Sirs!

STATE OF THE CRAFT During the course of the travels that we have been privileged to make over the past several years, we have found the State of the Craft to be as wonderful and varied as the individuals that make up Each Constituent Lodge in Missouri, and elsewhere around the Nation that we have visited. Uniqueness is not a "bad thing"; instead, the "variety" that Freemasonry and the Masonic Family permits in the methods and manner of presentations and promotion of the Craft allows for the "Individual" and the "Local Lodges" to "Make Their Own Mark" in History. This year, and the hard work laid by Past Grand Masters and the Craft in laying the foundation stones of progress, has seen the "Masonic Family" come together in Unity. All Leaders of the Masonic Organizations nationally are now "Talking about the Masonic Family" - here again, Missouri Freemasonry leads the way because of EACH OF YOU! Your Grand Lodge Committees have Each, Respectively performed so admirably this year and have produced in accordance with Your desires and Your directions. The Future of Missouri Freemasonry and of Our Entire Missouri Masonic Family lies in Your Capable and Loving Hands. The Leadership of this most talented and devoted Advancing Line is committed to making certain that this Generation, and for Generations yet to Come, Freemasonry means: Brotherly Love, Relief, Truth, Dignity, Integrity, Honor, Respect, and that when a man is said to be a Freemason, the world at large and our respective Communities KNOW: "0 that he is one to whom the burdened heart may pour out it's sorrows; to whom distress may prefer it's suit; whose hand is guided by justice, and whose heart is expanded by benevolence." Our Potentials for Increasing Membership have never been greater, the work of the Craft in promoting the Entire Masonic Family and the Cooperation among All of Our Masonic Family Members has never been greater and more open. Thus, the legacy that we now leave lies in Each of Your Personal Commitments to "Kick It Up, ANTOTHER NOTCH!"

RECOMMENDATIONS To prevent being lost in rhetoric or other commentary, I make the following simple recommendations to the Craft for the future: 1. Be open to new ideas and to the supporting of, encouragement for adapting to the changes that flow with the seasons of the ages; and 2. Support always, our Masonic Youth and nurture them, care for them, and love them and respect them even more than we do ourselves; and 3. Respect the dignity and offices ofAll Members of Our Masonic Family and the High Offices that Each Holds within the various Bodies of Freemasonry. Cooperate, capitulate, be passionate and compassionate, and always continue to work for the best interests and welfare of the Entire Masonic Family and not some small part thereof. Please, keep the "Big Picture" and "Important Purpose" of being a "Masonic Family" at the forefront of Each and Every Decision You make; and 4. Love and serve the Supreme Architect of the Universe first and foremost, then our Nation, Your Family, Our Masonic Family, Your Friends, Your Community, and then Yourself; and 5. Annually review Each Program of the Grand Lodge and make certain that continuation of the same is efficient and worthwhile. Those that need to be replaced, then replace; whereas, those that require support and nurture, provide the same to them; and

2004

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

6. Embrace and support the "Outreach Services Programs" of Your Masonic Home of Missouri and "Guard Strongly Against" and reject "TEMPTATIONS" to return to the expenses and lack of production involved in personally desiring "BRICKS & MORTAR" as a Personal Memorial to funds or efforts, rather than looking to the good that is able to be more easily performed by simply giving Individuals the Freedom and Ability to Stay in Their Communities and be around Their Friends and Families; and finally, 7. Please consider formulating and adopting, a Cipher for the "Floor Work" of our Missouri Ritual. It is not an intrusion into the Office of the Grand Lecturer and is instead, a method of preserving our present" Floor Work as a Part of the Ritual of Teaching" for future generations without the "human element of change" that otherwise might flow. We have a Cipher for the general work, and thus, a Cipher for the Floor Work Ritual is likewise a good idea. Remember, that "Ritual without REALITY" is meaningless. Ritual was intended to ''TEACH'' and NOT to be an end in itself. Thus, please consider promoting and adopting a "standardized Floor Work Ritual via a Cipher" that teaches our tenets and the many other wonderful aspects ofour Beloved Craft. A rough draft is already available, it merely requires the "Ritualists" to recognize the "importance of preserving the present" for our "future.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Most ofthe acknowledgements have been previously stated elsewhere herein. To the extent I have omitted someone, I make my sincere apology. The Various Advancing Lines with Whom I have been privileged to serve and to lead, have my heartfelt Thanks and my personal devotion and support. This Year's Advancing Line is so very special, as Each Year's Line is to the current Grand Master. Elmer, John, Bob, Bruce, Rocky, Larry, Gail, and John, and my Appointive Members, THANK EACH OF YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR A MEMORABLE AND WONDERFUL YEAR! Nothing would have been possible to accomplish this year, without Each of Your work, efforts and support. Now, this leaves the final THREE (3) acknowledgements. To my Beloved Brothers, Thank Each and All of You for promoting me to the opportunity to lead and to serve. As I attended Your Meetings and Dinners and picked up plates and other materials, so did I to demonstrate that "he who is chosen to lead" must also first know "how to serve". To my Lord and Master, the Supreme Architect of the Universe, all successes are because ofYour Grace and by Your allowing me to be promoted to encourage Others to produce. The failures are because of my human limitations and lack of abilities and faith and for the same, I ask Your forgiveness, and that of Your devoted Craft. Finally, to the other and far better Part of Me, my Lady and for the time being, the First Lady of Missouri Freemasonry, Jennifer, THANK YOU my love and the love of my life, for allowing me, encouraging me, supporting me, counseling me, tempering me, consoling me, comforting me, and otherwise making each and every day of life, truly a pleasure to enjoy. This Year has been technically dedicated to the Masonic Family in General, and to the Masonic Youth in Particular. However, I now dedicate this Annual Communication and all of my love, To YOU! THANK YOU SWEETHEART! Thank The Craft! May our Lord Bless, Keep and Prosper Each and All of You in both time, and throughout Eternity and may He continue to promote and prosper HIS MASONIC FAMILY! Sincerely, Fraternally and Respectfully Submitted, Stanley M. Thompson, Grand Master

ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER SUPPLEMENTAL To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge ofAncient, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri: Greetings to All Members of Our Beloved Masonic Family, Since the time of the writing of the printed version of the Address of the Grand Master, additional issues and matters have arisen that require additional commentary and information to the Craft. Therefore, it is my request that this Supplement to the Address of the Grand Master be annexed to the original printed copy upon publication of the same in the Annual Proceedings. It is my desire to remind All Members of the Grand Lodge that the Jurisprudence Committee of the Grand Lodge makes itself available to assist Brothers in drafting proposed legislation on the Sunday afternoon immediately preceeding Each Annual Communication. Additionally, the Members of the Jurisprudence Committee also make every effort to otherwise assist the Craft with proposed legislation throughout the entire Annual Communication so that it may be drafted and read prior to the close of Each Annual Communication. This year is no different from any previous year in that many legislative proposals were either required to be withdrawn from consideration, or were found Not to be in Due Form or In Order for consideration because of technical difficulties in the drafting of the legislative proposals. Candidly, I even found myself being required to consent to the removal of some very important legislative proposals that I co-sponsored and which I desired to cause to be brought before the Annual Communication due to errors in drafting that were made. Therefore, it is imperative that All Members of the Craft PLEASE seek the aid and assistance of the Jurisprudence Committee in the preparation and submission of all proposed legislation at this Annual Communication, and at all Future Annual Communications. Because a Youth Dues Proposition could not be considered this year by means of a proposed By-Law due to technical difficulties in the drafting; a Temporary Resolution with a Four (4) Year experimental time period has been proposed for the consideration of the Craft. The proposal is for an annual assessment of a total of Three Dollars ($3.00) per year for a Four (4) Year period. In simple terms, over the next Four (4) years, the Resolution requests a total assessment of Twelve Dollars ($12.00) per Dues Paying Member. Broken down, that is a request to support the Missouri Masonic Youth Organizations of only TwentyFive Cents ($0.25) per month. Purchasing a Coke or a Pepsi or some similar soft drink cannot be done for this meager sum. However, passing the proposed Resolution will provide much needed revenues that will support Our Three (3) Masonic Youth Organizations of DeMolay, Job's Daughters and Rainbow for Girls. These funds can only be spent within the State of Missouri and the Resolution requires an ANNUAL, LINE-ITEM ACCOUNTING before any additional funds can be disbursed. The Resolution in all respects is preferable to a "Permanent By-Law" because of the "Sunset Clause" of a "Four (4) Year Experimental Period" so that this August Body of Masons known as the Grand Lodge, can evaluate the propriety of continuing the support, the propriety of the Line-Item Account of Expenditures by Our Masonic Youth, and the successes, failures, needs for changes and other aspects of making a Permanent Decision on the merits sometime in the future. This Resolution also provides for Immediate Funding

that is so desperately needed for Our Masonic Youth to continue on their present path of Growth in Membership and expansion of the Conclaves, Bethels and Assemblies that currently has taken deep root throughout the State of Missouri.

MISCELLANEOUS On September 20,2004, I received a complaint concerning fund-raising efforts by Granite Lodge No. 272 in Sedalia, Missouri. The complaint alleged that during a golf tournament held on September 11, 2004, advertising was sold to a business engaged primarily in the sale and rental of adult films, toys and related materials. I have been able to confirm that such occurred and also, that the golf tournament was held on the golf course owned and operated by Sedalia Shrine Club. I have not been able to find a specific By-Law or prior Decision that relates to the promotion of the sale of pornographic materials by a Constituent Lodge. On the other hand, common sense informs all of us that the same cannot and should not be condoned. Therefore, I hereby declare that No Constituent Lodge may sell advertising or lend the name of the Masonic Family to any business, individual or other entity that is engaged in the sale and promotion of: Alcohol, Pornography or Adult Videos and Films, or related materials, or for Casinos or other methods ofgambling. Granite Lodge No. 272 is hereby issued a PUBLIC MASONIC REPRIMAND for having so done and all Lodges are hereby warned not to engage in any similar conduct in the future. As part of the PUBLIC MASONIC REPRIMAND, it is also incumbent upon me as Grand Master to issue a Public Apology to the Ararat Temple and to the Sedalia Shrine Club for the actions of Granite Lodge No. 276 in embarrassing itself, and the Entire Masonic Family by permitting the promotion of pornography during a Lodge Sponsored Golf Tournament on the golf course operated under the Jurisdiction of Ararat Temple and owned by the Sedalia Shrine Club. To Illustrious Sir Robert Perusich, You have my personal and sincere apology and regrets for this unfortunate circumstance and also those of the Grand Lodge of Missouri. A request has been received for an Opinion from the Grand Master from Brother Kevin Sample, Grand Secretary of the York Rite, relating to qualifications acceptable for Membership in an Organization known as "The Sword of Bunker Hill". I have not been able to locate any prior Grand Lodge authorization for the existence of this "Entity" within Missouri as a Masonic Order. Therefore, I have requested proof that such an "Entity has previously received Masonic Recognition from the Grand Lodge of Missouri" and leave the decision concerning the acceptable qualifications for Membership to the Grand Lodge of Missouri for Members of the "Entity known as The Sword of Bunker Hill" to my Successors in the Office of Grand Master. At the request of Most Worshipful Brother Donald E. Scott, Past Grand Master and in his capacity as Chairman of the Grand Lodge Committee on Recognition of Foreign Grand Lodges, I have made a "Specific Request for Clarification and Delineation" of the exact nature of the "Recognition Afforded the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Missouri" by the Grand Lodge Resolutions (2002 - 2003) contained on page 119 of the Constitution and ByLaws of the Grand Lodge ofAncient, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri. It is hoped that a "Formal Clarification" will be presented by the written Report of the Jurisprudence Committee at the 184 th Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge for consideration by the Craft.

I would be remiss not to again mention and express my sincere and heartfelt appreciation to my Home Lodge, Richmond Lodge No. 57 and to the Officers and Members thereof for making me the Mason that I am, and for the wonderful support and phenomenal Reception that they planned and hosted for me this past year. Likewise, my Home Shrine Club, the Richmond Shrine Club deserves my sincere Thank You and enduring devotion for All that the Officers and Members have done for me through the years, and particularly this past year in supporting the Programs of the Grand Lodge and to encourage everyone, to "Discover the Masonic Family". To these two Groups of Masons in particular, "THANK YOU MY BROTHERS!" To all of the Brethren and Members of Our Masonic Family, Thank Each of You for making this year so wonderful, successful and memorable.

2004

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

RIGHT WORSHIPFUL BROTHER BILLY J. BEATTY 2004 TRUMAN AWARD WINNER The Harry S. Truman Medal was originated at the 162nd Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Missouri. Most Worshipful Brother Earl K. Dille presented the first Harry S. Truman Medal at that Annual Convention. Most Worshipful Brother Harry S. Truman was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Missouri from 1940-1941 and throughout his Masonic Career, established a standard of excellence and achievement such that the Highest Honor that a Grand Master can bestow upon a Missouri Mason is to award that Mason the "Harry S. Truman Medal". When any man wears the Truman medal, it is obvious that this Mason has led a lifetime of unselfish devotion to the Craft and has upheld the finest and highest standards of the Masonic Order and exhibited character, integrity, dignity and charity throughout his entire life. Such men are privileged to war the Truman Medal have a lifetime of service to their God, their nation, their family and to the Entire Masonic Family. This year, it is my privilege to make the award of the Truman Medal to a Missouri Mason that each time he comes into a room, or leaves a room, someone always tells me, "There goes a True Mason". He lives and breathes the Masonic Principles of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth each day of his life.

PROPOSED LEGISLATIVE CHANGES 2004 Not In Order To The Grand Lodge ofAncient, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri Greetings: BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The By-Laws of the Grand Lodge be amended as follows:

Delete the following sentence of Article, 1 Section 1.010 Time and Place. Except when the time and place of meeting is changed by majority vote of the Grand Lodge, the annual communications are held in the City of St. Louis on the last Monday in September in each year, commencing at 10 o'clock A.M. Add the following Article 1, Section 1.010 Time and Place. The annual communication of the Grand Lodge will be held in the City of Columbia or Jefferson City on the last Monday of September in each year, commencing at 9 o'clock A.M. The remainder of the section will remain unchanged.

Statement of Purpose: In order to alleviate travel expenses connected with attendance at Grand Lodge, a central location for the annual communication has become a necessity. Attendance also seems to be increased when the Grand Lodge meets in either Columbia or Jefferson City. It also leaves intact any measures which need to be taken in case ofemergency.

Not In Order To The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Missouri Proposed Amendment of Constitution It is proposed that Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Missouri, A.F. & A.M., be changed to read as follows (deletions ~b tlek Otlt, additions in bold):

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

2004

SECTION 2.PROXIES-HOW APPOINTED-DUTIES OF, Whenever the Master and Wardens of any Lodge (or either of them) shall be unable to attend the communications of the Grand Lodge, they, or either of them who cannot so attend, may depute any member Master Mason in good standing who is a member of their own Lodge, vy ho is of eqtI~1 01 stIpel iOI 1 ~nk VY ith thelllsel "es, as a proxy to represent their Lodge in the Grand Lodge; and the proxy so deputed shall be entitled to the same privileges and perform the duties of him or them deputing him, except for eligibility to any office in the Grand Lodge under Article III, Section 1 of this Constitution. Such deputation shall be in writing, and signed by the officer so deputing him. Statement of Purpose: This allows a subordinate lodge to be represented at Grand Lodge in the event its Master or either Warden are unable to attend, and for that lodge's voice to be heard and its votes case.

Withdrawn from 2004 and referred to the Ways and Means Committee for 2005 PROPOSAL TO AMEND SECTION 3.035 OF THE GRAND LODGE BYLAWS RESOLVED That Section 3.035 of the Grand Lodge By-Laws be amended by deleting the last sentence (underlined) thereof, and adding the new sentences (bold) so that the amended Section 3.035 will read as follows: SECTION 3.035 ENDOWMENT FUND. The Endowment Fund consists of the gifts and bequests designated as made to it by the donor or testator and such assets as may be added to it by order of the Grand Lodge. The purpose of the Endowment Fund is to assure the financial stability of the Grand Lodge. The purpose of the Endowment Fund is to assure the financial stability of the Grand Lodge regardless of changing business conditions. The income of the Endowment Fund accrues to the General Fund. That portion of the annual income earned from the investment of the Endowment Fund equal to the reported Federal Discount Rate at the beginning of the Grand Lodge Fiscal Year plus 1% accrues to the General Fund. The remaining income, if any, is retained and becomes a part of the principal of the Endowment Fund. Statement of Purpose: Currently, the only way the Endowment Fund grows is with new contributions. This amendment would allow for gain in Endowment Fund Principal every year from investment activities. Over the course oftime the Endowment Fund will grow ofits own accord regardless ofand in addition to future contributions made to it. In lean years when the prime interest rate is low, all income will, most likely, go to the General Fund, but in times ofhigh interest rates a small amount will be reinvested as principal. This will give the Endowment Fund a larger principal base guarantee the stability ofthe Grand Lodge regardless ofbusiness conditions.

The Grand Master may, with the consent of any One (1) of the Deputy Grand Master, Senior Grand Warden or Junior Grand Warden make such loans of amounts not to exceed Five Thousand Dollars to a Subordinate Lodge or to not for profit corporations as described above. Loans in excess of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) in any Grand Lodge Fiscal year shall not exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) and shall require the consent of any Three (3) of the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Senior Grand Warden or Junior Grand Warden. The Grand Master shall have the right to "Veto" any such loan in excess of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00). All such loans are within the total discretion of the above named Officers of the Grand Lodge and are restricted to purposes relating to the maintenance, repair, upgrading and other physical facilities to the subordinate lodges or to not for profit corporations as described above. No such loans may be made for special occasions or projects not related to the physical lodge hall facility itself All loans to subordinate lodges or to not for profit corporations as described above, shall be payable in no more than Ten (10) years after the Grand Lodge Fiscal Year of making such loan. All said loans shall bear interest at the rate of Five Percent (5%) per annum and shall be subject to an amortized payment plan approved by the Chairman of the Jurisprudence Committee with the consent of the Grand Master.

from casualty losses not covered by insurance, and otherwise use the funds for a definite time, while also allowing the subordinate lodge or not for profit corporation to thereby participate in the increase of the ability of the Grand Lodge to assist subordinate lodges or not for profit corporations by the payment of the interest upon the loans. The past few years have seen such devastating losses that include the flood of 1993 and the tornadoes of 2003. Those losses impacted not merely upon the general public, but also upon our subordinate lodges.

Withdrawn - Referred to thw Ways and Means for Legal Opinion To The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Missouri Proposed Amendment of By-Laws It is proposed that the first paragraph of SECTION 3.306 of the By-Laws of the Grand Lodge of Missouri, A.F. & A.M., be amended to read as follows (deletions stltlck Otlt, additions in bold):

Earnings of the Stewart Fund shall consist only of the divided and interest income from investment of, and Iealized appIeeiation fIOnt the sale of assets of the principal, of the Stewart Fund, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals consistently applied.

Statement of Purpose: At present, the principal of the Stewart Fund does not include any realized appreciation from the sale of assets of the principal. For instance, if the sale of XYZ Widgets stock results in a gain of $1,000,000.00 from the price it was purchased or was otherwise placed in addition to the principal of the Stewart Fund. This amendment would place Stewart Fund to allow the Stewart Fund to increase in value over time.

Not In Order IT IS PROPOSED THAT SECTION 14.020 OF THE BY-LAWS OF THE GRAND LODGE, A.F. & A.M. BE CHANGED TO READ AS FOLLOWS: Eliminate Section 14.020 in its entirety Statement of Purpose: To allow the Lodge to decide whether a candidate is worthy ofbecoming a Freemason instead of allowing one member to make that decision for the entire lodge as now provided for. Rational: 1.

This section now gives one members complete autonomy over a Masonic Lodge and overrides the vote of two Master Masons who recommended the candidate under the provisions oftheir Entered Apprentice Charge. If a member has a legitimate reason why the candidate should not be elected, he could approach the investigation committee give them the facts and voice his objection there. Plus, there is always the ballot box.

2004 3.

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

An objector can use this provision in a vindictive manner and there is nothing the Lodge can do to correct it because the objector never has to reveal his reason for objecting. This section can and has caused irreparable damage to the peace and harmony of the lodge. The Lodge knows the objector to be a good man because he is a Mason, numerous lodge members know the petitioner to be a good man worthy of becoming a Mason. And objection under this provision causes only grief and has out lived its usefulness. It should be eliminated.

Approved as Amended To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Missouri Proposed Amendment of By-Laws It is proposed that the following By-Law of the Grand Lodge of Missouri, A.F. & A.M. be amended to read as follows:

Once the objections are made for the purpose of further inquiry, the initiation shall not proceed for sixty (60) days, unless sooner withdrawn by the objectors. Within the sixty (60) days, conclusive objections may be made, and the objections for the purpose of further inquiry may be made conclusive. Statement ofpurpose This would bring this by-law in compliance with the Grand Lodge ByLaw which requires three or more black cubes to reject the ballot on a petition.

Failed To The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Missouri Proposed Amendment of By-Laws It is proposed that new Section 16.040 of the By-Laws of the Grand Lodge of Missouri, A.F. & A.M. be enacted, to read as follows:

SECTION 16.040, PROFICIENCY, Except as provided in communications in which a lodge has been given permission to conduct a "chance to advance" class, no candidate may be advanced until he has shown suitable proficiency in the preceding degree. "Suitable proficiency" means ability satisfactorily to give the preceding degree's word, steps, signs, grips and obligation. It is determined after examination in open lodge, at which time a majority vote of the lodge by show of hands will determine eligibility of advance. Statement of Purpose: To require a minimum proficiency in a preceding degree in the ritual work of the Fraternity before a candidate is advanced.

for the first school taught in each district each year and mileage and expenses to be paid upon approval of the Grand Master.

Purpose: In the setup of the Regional Grand Lecturer Program, part of the plans was to provide a greater number of instruction opportunities. Not a sufficient number of brethren are reached with the two year program and a school in each district is fairer fro the brethren in relations to travel requirements. Approved To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Missouri Proposed Amendment of By-Laws It is proposed that Section 4.040 ofthe By-Laws ofthe Grand Lodge of Missouri, A.F. & A.M., be changed to read as follows (deletions etItlck Otlt, additions in bold):

The Grand Lecturer appoints for each District a District Deputy Grand Lecturer, who must be a past or present Master of a Missouri Lodge, who is competent to teach Missouri work, and who holds at least one current Subdivision Certificate of Proficiency issued by the Grand Lodge.

Purpose: To allow a broader field ofchoices for the DDGL positions in areas of the state where few or no subdivision plan cards are held by the Brethren. AMENDED-defeated PROPOSAL TO ADOPT NEW SECTION 10.045 OF THE GRAND LODGE BY-LAWS Resolved: That new Section 10.045 of the Grand Lodge By-Laws be adopted under provisions of Section 35.010 to read as follows: Section 10.045. Dues in Support of Masonic Youth. Each Lodge shall collect from each Lodge Member and then pay to the Grand Lodge for each Master Mason (except those whose dues have been remitted and those exempted under subsection (a) of Section 18.050 reported in the annual return) the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) each for the Three (3) recognized Masonic Youth Organizations. As soon as is reasonably convenient after collection of such sums on the annual returns, the Grand Secretary shall pay said One Dollar ($1.00) per Member dues to each of the Three recognized Masonic Youth Groups consisting of: The Order of DeMolay, Job's Daughters and the Order of Rainbow for Girls in Missouri. Funds provided to the Three (3) Masonic Youth Organizations under this section shall only be used within the State of Missouri for Chapter, Assembly, or Bethel Membership development and related local purposes. The provisions of Section 10.040 are hereby amended to conform in all respects with the provisions hereof with the passage of this section and the By-Laws Committee shall cause the same to be published in accordance therewith. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:

There are few organizations that provide any greater support for the

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

Missouri Masonic Family than the three Masonic Youth Organizations: DeMolay, Rainbow for Girls, and Job's Daughters. Further, no other organizations can directly contribute to the future growth and advancement of Masonry with such overall impact as can our Masonic Youth. However, all three Masonic Youth Organizations have struggled to provide viable programs to better facilitate membership growth and, in fact, all our three groups suffered significant losses in membership during the last decade. Because of the recent interest in supporting the Masonic Youth from the Masonic Family in Missouri, all Three Youth Organizations are being revitalized and have experienced recent increases in Membership. This proposal will further those endeavors and will better provide for the future Membership needs of All the Members of Our Masonic Family. While we as Masons express our verbal support of the three Masonic Youth Organizations, in fact, we offer very little in terms of explicit backing toward their success. This provision will provide funds for the groups where they need it the most - membership development in Missouri. Funds may be used to support membership development in existing chapters, assemblies and bethels, as well as beginning new chapters, assemblies and bethels in Lodges throughout the State of Missouri. The Order of DeMolay, Job's Daughters and the Order ofRainbow for Girls in Missouri will present a report oftheir activities and progress to Grand Lodge annually.

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Missouri Proposed Amendment of Constitution It is proposed that the following addition to be made to the By-Laws of the Grand Lodge of Missouri, A.F. & A.M. (additions in bold, deletions flossed Ottt):

Section 16.020. THIRD DEGREE STATEMENT. The acting Master of each Lodge, at his option and no more than once at any communication, may ~ read the following statement aloud to the Lodge immediately prior to when the Junior Warden calls the Craft from labor to refreshment for the conferral of the second section of the third degree: "As Master of this Lodge, I am required by Grand Lodge Law to read the following statement prior to the beginning of the second section of the third degree. This law will be observed and enforced in this Lodge. "The Second Section of the Third Degree constitutes a most solemn and impressive portion of our ritualistic work. In it we are taught the ultimate lessons of Masonic philosophy-victory over death and the immortality of the soul. Nothing must be allowed to impair the deep impression which should be made upon the mind of the candidate. The Grand Lodge forbids any levity, roughness, horseplay, talking, audible laughter, or any other noise which could distract the candidate. Failure to comply with this law, or any action by any office or member in violation or inconsistent with this law, shall constitute grounds for Masonic discipline."

Statement of purpose: While a reading of this statement may be necessary to remind a lodge of its duty to the candidate for the degree of Master Mason, determining whether such a statement is needed should be left to the discretion of the acting Master of that Lodge, and such a reading is not needed more than once at any communication if it needs to be read at all.

The number of candidates raised to the degree of Master Mason as a result of the Chance to Advance Program during the 20002003 Grand Lodge Years is not available because the reports of class raisings on a district basis are not forwarded to the Grand Lodge. It is recommended that the Grand Lodge institute a method for obtaining this information from the District Deputy Grand Master and Grand Lecturer. Community Awareness Civic and social organizations are recognized for their contributions to the local community and attract new members who want to participate in these endeavors. It is necessary for us to take a leadership role in our communities and become community leaders in the process. The sponsoring of youth activities or teams should receive strong consideration by our Lodges. We must convince our new members as well as our long-term members that we have to be a driving force in our communities and solicit their participation in Lodge support of community-sponsored projects. This would increase our image and perhaps attract new members. We must continue to maximize our opportunities to put masonry on display to the public. Every presentation of service awards and installations of officers must be an open event. We cannot interest friends and family in masonry if we close our doors to them. We recommend that our Lodge halls be made available for polling places and community meetings as the need arises and our schedules will permit. This would enable the public to view masonry from within and might encourage interest and questions about our fraternity. Member's Family Interaction We must plan affairs which stimulate family participation with our members. Many Lodges have had success in changing the schedule of their meetings to a regular communication once each month and a family night to replace the second communication. In addition many Lodges hold picnics, festivals and homecoming dinners which promote involvement ofthe family in Masonic activities and strengthen the family unit at the same time. We would recommend that all Lodges consider adopting this practices or similar family oriented activities.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

2004

Support of Youth Groups We commend the Grand Lodge for its support of the resolution to contribute funds for the support of our youth groups. We recommend that consideration be given to awarding theses funds if approved at the Grand Lodge Session on a per capita basis based on the current membership of each group instead of a one third for each organization distribution. It is further recommended that the distribution be contingent on a matching fund basis of a ratio of 1:1 for the funds raised by the youth groups. This would create a feeling of accomplishment within the groups and promote pride within their organization.. Interesting Meetings We must make our meetings more interesting to make more brethren want to attend Lodge and create a reason to make them want to return in the future. Programs of interest are available from many sources and we must start using them if we want to improve attendance. Opening, reading the minutes, bills and closing will not cut it in today's world. The Grand Lodge Achievement Award should have a requirement of a meaningful Masonic or Non-Masonic talk each month that would be appropriate for the time of the year or the needs of the members for information. Every Lodge should conduct an annual meeting for our senior members and widows to provide them with information about assistance available to them from the Masonic Fraternity if the need arises. The District Deputy Grand Masters should stress the use of the Grand Lodge Speakers Bureau and the Masonic Home Representatives as an excellent source for speakers. Improving Ritual We recommend that Degree Teams be established for the first, second and third degrees within each district under the direction of the District Deputy Grand Lecturer. The members of the teams would be drawn from the Lodges in the district and would confer each degree for a Lodge only once per year. This would enable the Lodges to see the degrees presented properly and give them an insight into how to perform the degrees on their own The members of the degree team could then serve as a resource for their own Lodges to coach members on the proper portrayal of the ritual. Attendance Many of our members are not able to drive at night and no longer attend Lodge unless picked up on meeting nights. Consideration needs to be given to the establishment of Daylight Lodges conveniently located so that these brothers can attend Lodge when they are able to drive and not have to rely on someone to pick them up to go to Lodge. We continue to lose members or fail to advance candidates because of various reasons. Telephone committees should be established to notify members of important events and to check on the welfare of our brethren that have not been to Lodge meetings. Many Lodges have telephone calling programs but they need to be more universally implemented. Many Lodges are unable to open because of poor attendance, particularly in small communities. We recommend that wherever this is a problem that consideration is given to a merger of their memberships and that the meetings rotate between the communities that previously served the Lodges. Thus the members would still have the satisfaction of meeting in their own community every 2 to 3 months but still be able to attend a fully functioning Lodge. This would also reaffirm our support for the communities served.

In the Metropolitan areas where we have Lodges with poor attendance and are unable to open we would recommend that consideration be given to merging with other Lodges or relocating the Lodge to a more desirable area. We have many regions in our metropolitan areas where we do not have a Lodge presence and it would benefit us to have one. Most Worshipful Grand Master, the committee thanks you for the opportunity to serve our Grand Lodge. We stand ready to assist any Lodge that needs our help. Respectfully submitted, Robert E. Hardester, Chairman D. Dean Rowe James Haddox Keith Neese Donald H, Roller Norman G. Schlagenhauf Jr.

REPORT OF THE COMMITrEE ON FORMS AND CEREMONIES To the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Missouri: Brethren: The Committee on Forms and Ceremonies received a request from the Grand Master that we review the Ceremonies for the Installation of Subordinate Lodge Officers and the Funeral Service to determine if any revisions to the ceremonies were appropriate. In keeping with the provisions of Section 5.130 of the By-Laws the Committee considered the suggested changes to those ceremonies. The Committee has determined to recommend no changes to the Ceremonies as currently published. Fraternally submitted, Donald E. Scott, P.G.M., Chairman Dale C. Motter, P.G.M. Gordon E. Hopkins, P.G.M. Wilfred G. Soutiea, Jr., P.G.M. Randall J. Jones

RITUAL COMMITTEE REPORT The ritual committee met June 12,2004 at the Grand Lodge Office Many questions received over the past year were discussed and acted upon concerning our Missouri Masonic Ritual. Some previous decision were deleted in an effort to make the ritual more user friendly. Our feeling was that we were getting too detailed to be workable. Indeed, a set rule on every minute move will not work in every Lodge the same way. While we endeavor to keep our ritual uniform throughout our state, some room for adjustment is necessary. The round robin final was held and WB Dennis Spears finally emerged to

receive the trophy for the next year. Congratulations to WB Spears and to all others who participated in the tournaments around the state. A "Floor Work Cipher" is recommended to be considered and adopted by the Craft. Respectfully submitted, Randall J. Jones, Chairman

REPORT OF THE GRAND LECTURER To the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Missouri: Brethren, another year having gone by, I must report. The required two instructional schools were held in each of our seven regions. Each place has afforded genuine hospitality and respect for the office of Grand Lecturer. The attendance was good. Although, not as good as we might wish. The Round Robins were again well received and enjoyed. Their continuation is requested. We have had the opportunity to conduct additional schools and am grateful for those who participated in them as well. The position of Grand Lecturer has greatly changed since it has been my honor to serve. There appears to be doubt in the mind of some that our Regional Grand Lecturer program is as effective as the previous method. From my own standpoint it is hard to depict the problems and do invite the brethren to extend their ideas to me. Insofar as the RGL's are concerned, we have among the most devoted Masons working in their respective regions and each one is quick to assist the Grand Lodge and especially the Grand Lecturer's needs and requests. The only proposed change for next year is to allow RWB Bob Mullins a rest and Give RWB Stephen Thompson an opportunity to work in Region F. To all seven of the brethren who have served this past year, please accept my deepest appreciation for your work and your friendship. The Grand Lodge staff, as always, has been most gracious and helpful to me in my endeavors as well. Thanks to each of you. As we anticipate another year. We ask for the continued support of our brethren and God's continued grace in our travels. Respectfully submitted, Randall J. Jones, Grand Lecturer

MASONIC CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION OF MISSOURI ANNUAL REPORT 2004 To the Grand Lodge A.F& A.M. of Missouri: Dear Brethren, The Masonic Children's Foundation has operated for several years with a great deal of optimism and an ever-decreasing rate of measurable accomplishment. This wasn't due to a lack of concern or effort on the part of the members of this Board, past or present. In fact, the people we were trying to deliver it to no longer wanted the program. On December 31, 2003, the Executive Director of the Masonic Children's Foundation resigned. The Board also then decided to release the one remaining regional director. The Board was faced with either closing down the Masonic Children's Foundation or finding a program that was more suitable to the needs of our Lodges and communities. Shutting down the Children's Foundation was never an option in our eyes.

Fortunately our Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Stanley M. Thompson, had the foresight to ask the current Members of this MCF Board to think outside the box-to find some program that we could bring back to the Brethren that was both wanted and needed in our communities. He then afforded us the opportunity to attend the Grand Masters' Conference in Washington D.C. to find out what children's programs were working in other jurisdictions. At that conference we were introduced to (CHIPS) or Children's Identification Program presented by Brother David Harte. Doctor Harte (DDS) founded the CHIPS program in Massachusetts and it has since spread across the Northeastern jurisdictions like wildfire. Massachusetts alone has identified over 200,000 children since the Program's inception. There are over 30 jurisdictions across North America that now provide some kind of child identification program. Twelve or more of those jurisdictions employ the CHIPS Program. The thing that makes the CHIPS program unique is the use of a malleable wafer invented by Brother David Tussini called "Teethprints." These wafers actually take a dental impression of the child as well as provide a perfect scent and DNA sample. The program also provides fingerprints, photos and or video of the child to help law enforcement officers find and identify missing children. Every forty-one seconds a child is reported missing in the United States of America-over 660,000 last year alone. Nearly 5000 children were reported missing in Missouri,just under 1500 of those children were from the St. Louis area. Kansas City reported nearly 1200. By providing parents of missing children with all the information they need in one small package, we increase the chances of safely returning those children to their parents, or heaven forbid, providing positive identification if needed. This sends a very important message to our children and communities-that the greatest fraternity on earth cares about the children of our State. We are partnering with the Missouri Dental Association and Missouri law enforcement agencies to provide for the welfare and safety of our kids. Your Board of Directors for the Masonic Children's Foundation has unanimously decided to charge head long into the CHIPS program to make a positive difference in our local communities and State. Toward that goal we have scheduled our first CHIPS event for August 28, 2004 in Rogersville, Missouri. We are expecting to provide service to over two hundred children of that community in our first event, and there have to this date been requests for seven more events next year. The Brethren of Henderson Lodge N 0.44 7 are in the forefront of planning and providing manpower for this initial program. Volunteers from the local Rainbow Assemblies, Job's Daughters Bethels and DeMolay Chapters, as well as Rogersville PTA and Police Depart-

112

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

ment have all joined in. We hope that Lodges across this State will follow the lead of these brethren and Masonic youth groups to provide CHIPS events in their own communities. This program is envisioned to be and to become a grass roots volunteer program on the part of the Lodges and their Brethren as well as the local Missouri Dental Association, law enforcement agencies and other local service organizations that choose to participate in the events. The Northeastern Jurisdictions have proven that this program will give us major television network and newspaper coverage. This will be a public relations blessing unparalleled in Missouri. It is hoped that this "CHIPS PROGRAM" will put local Lodges and Masonic Youth Groups back in the public eye. In Connecticut 22 petitions were signed at one CHIPS event. Massachusetts, in one five week period, gained 52 new Masons-eight DeMolay and seven new Rainbow girls. The CHIPS program will attract and retain new members for our Lodges and Masonic youth groups because we will again be out in front of and serving exactly the people we want to join our ranks. This is a program whose time has come in Missouri. It is both wanted and desperately needed in our communities. It is simple enough so the smallest Lodge can and should plan to host an event. It can also be expanded so several Lodges can come together and host a regional event if they choose. The time is right, the program is right, and the cause is right. Join the enthusiasm of the brethren of Henderson Lodge No. 447 and this Masonic Children's Foundation Board. Become part of something special! Let the Masonic Children's Foundation help show you how to plan and train for a CHIPS event in your area. Fraternally your servant, Rocky E. Weaver, President Larry C. Reynolds, Vice President Gail S. Turner John W. Hess Ronald D. Miller, Secretary, Treasurer

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITIEE ON RECOGNITION OF FOREIGN GRAND LODGES To the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Missouri: Brethren: This year, several Grand Lodges have presented requests for recognition. In considering those requests, the Committee has relied upon information provided by the Commission On Information For Recognition of the Conference Of Grand Masters Of Masons In North America (hereinafter, the Commission) and upon subsequent inquiry made to Most Worshipful Brother Curtis N. Lancaster, SecretarylTreasurer of that Commission. The Grand Lodge of Armenia has requested recognition. The Commission has found that the Grand Lodge of Armenia does meet the standards for regularity and recognition. The Committee recommends that recognition be granted to the Grand Lodge of Armenia and that Representatives be exchanged. The Grand Master of that Grand Lodge is Most Worshipful Brother Christopher Sahakian. The official Grand Lodge address is Post Office Box 65, Yerevan 375010, Armenia, however, the mailing address is Post Office Box 23378, Washington, DC 20026-3378. The e-mail addressisGLofArmenia@aol.com. We have received a request for recognition from the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge "Benito Juarez" of the State of Coahuila, Mexico. The Commission has found that the Grand Lodge Benito Juarez does meet the standards for regularity. The Committee recommends that recognition of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Benito Juarez of the State of Coahuila should be granted and Representatives exchanged. The Grand Master is Most Worshipful Brother Roberto Vargas Euan and the Grand Secretary and Chancellor is Worshipful Brother Evencio Hernandez Cortazar. The Grand Lodge address is Calle Bahia de Ballenas #933, Col. Nueva California, de Torreon, Coahuila C.P. 27089, Apartado Postal #156. The E-mail address is mrgLbjuarez_coah@hotmail. com. We have received a request for recognition from the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge for the States of Oregon, Idaho and Montana, Inc.. The Commission performs no investigation as to the regularity of Prince Hall Grand Lodges. There are questions as to what constitutes recognition to the Prince Hall Grand Lodges. We are not able to confirm that the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Missouri recognizes this Prince Hall Grand Lodge. At this time, the Committee recommends no action pertaining to recognition of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge for the States of Oregon, Idaho and Montana, Inc. until such time as additional information on the regularity of that Grand Lodge is available and until a determination

116

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

2004

may be made that The Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Missouri recognizes that Grand Lodge. Two years ago, a request for recognition was made on behalf of Most Worshipful Brother Borislav Sarandev for the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Bulgaria. In our reports for the last two years, we have noted that two men were claiming to be the rightful holders of the office of Grand Master. We questioned whether the request for recognition received was from the legitimate holder of that office. This year we have received a request from the Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Bulgaria for recognition. In the Annual Report of the Commission of February 17, 2004, the Commission stated that although a majority of the members of the Grand Lodge of Bulgaria have agreed to come together and recognize Brother Boris Sarandev as Grand Master, there remains confusion in that Grand Lodge with two Brothers continuing to claim the Office of Grand Master. Several European Grand Lodges have recognized Boris Sarandev as Grand Master as have some Grand Lodges in the United States, however, some American Grand Lodges have apparently recognized the other Grand Master, and/or Grand Lodge. The Committee recommends that the Grand Lodge of Missouri continue to withhold recognition from the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Bulgaria, pending receipt of additional information or clarification. In response to rumors circulating among our membership, Most Worshipful Grand Master Thompson asked this Committee to investigate and report on an organization known as the Loyal Orange Institution (hereinafter the Orange). It is our understanding that seven men from Missouri went to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1999 and became members of that Order. They also received a charter for a Lodge to be established in Missouri. There are currently three Orange Lodges in Missouri, located in Fayette, Springfield and St. Louis. A Grand Lodge has also been established in Missouri. In gathering information for this report, the Chairman contacted Mr. Chris Jessen, Secretary of the Fayette Orange Lodge, Brother Kevin Sample, who is the Junior Past Grand Master of the Orange Grand Lodge, and was contacted by Brother Harry Alexander who is the Membership Chairman for the Orange Institution in Pennsylvania. All have stated clearly that the Orange is not a Masonic related organization, contrary to the local rumors. There is no requisite for Masonic Membership to become a member of the Loyal Orange and the Orange has no Masonic affiliation. Brother Sample indicates that there are Masons who are members, however, there are members of the Orange that are not members of the Masonic Fraternity and that there are members ofthe Orange that are Prince Hall Masons. Brother Sample assured the Chairman that no Masonic membership lists have been, or are to be, used for the purpose of soliciting members for that organization, again, contrary to the rumors. The

Orange is a sectarian Protestant organization that excludes from membership all who are not Protestants. In Ireland, where the Orange was founded, the organization could be termed militantly antiCatholic. According to information received, in the Orange in the United States, there is no longer a requirement for a declaration that the member will not enter into marriage with a person who is not a declared Protestant. There may still be a required declaration that all children will be raised Protestant. It seems that there may continue to be an anti-Catholic bias within that organization. As the Loyal Orange Institution is not a Masonic organization or affiliate, no further Committee or Grand Lodge action is required. Finally, the Commission included in their report of February 17, 2004, a miscellaneous information paragraph which excerpted some material from the Grand Lodge of Texas website. To paraphrase that information, over the last several years there have been increasing attempts by members of irregular Masonic bodies to contact regular Freemasons and to have informal communications with them. This type of contact is more easily accomplished through the internet. Many of these irregular or clandestine Masonic bodies originated in Europe, but some have spread to the United States. Your Committee urges our Grand Lodge members not to fraternize with those irregular Masons. It has been reported that in other jurisdictions irregular Masons have been invited to attend informal Lodge functions and that they have been invited to attend meetings of appendant and affiliated bodies. To again quote the Commission "Our fraternity is being stolen by these irregular Masons." There are foreign Grand Lodges that are not regular that have chartered clandestine Lodges within these United States. We must not grant these organizations and irregular Masons legitimacy. We must remember that when we encounter such persons or organizations on the internet or in person, it is improper to have Masonic communication with them. Fraternally submitted, Donald E. Scott, P.G.M. Steven 1. Toybes, PG.M. P Vincent Kinkead, PG.M.

SPEAKERS BUREAU Most Worshipful Brother Thompson: Sincere congratulations on a year ofleadership filled with the theme song of "Old Blue Eyes," I Did It My Way. The ground work you have laid for promoting the "total" Masonic Family of Freemasonry is to be applauded and emulated from henceforth. Your Speakers Bureau has been active in presentations on all fronts of our jurisdiction, yet specific reports of presentations to the Craft and Public at large remains an elusive statistic. Efforts have been made on the Western side to assimilate a list of potential speakers for various topics of interest, both Masonic and nonMasonic. That list includes presentations on programs or our Grand Lodge, York Rite, Scottish Rite, Shrine, and other topics of public interest. This list was made available to DDGM's in prior years, and could aid each Lodge in qualifying for the Grand Lodge Achievement Award. To maintain the list, it is suggested that area speakers be recruited and reported to the Speakers Bureau for future reference. Fraternally, Robert E. Hardester Daniel R. Quesenberry John W.

GEORGE WASHINGTON MASONIC NATIONAL MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION Brethren: This is a report of the George Wahsington Masonic National Memorial Association. The Board of the Memorial Association meets two times a year. The Annual Meeting is held in the city where the Conference of Grand Masters is held. The Semiannual Meeting is held at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial, 101 Callahan Drive, Alexandria, Virginia. I am a member of the Board of Directors until February 22, 2006. The Memorial, like most Masonic buildings, has some age on it and calls for some type of continuous repair. All Grand Lodge jurisdictions own the Memorial and have the obligation to keep it up.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS/MASONIC YOUTH COMMITTEE Brethren: The Public SchoolslMasonic Youth Committee is a new Committee this year. The Grand Master consolidated these two Committees this year to work with the Masonic Youth, Demolay, Rainbow, and Job's Daughters. The Committee had four meetings this year, all at the Masonic Complex, 6033 Masonic Drive, Columbia, MO. It was the desire of our Grand Master to host a Masonic Youth Day here at the Masonic Complex March 27, 2004. Each youth group had their own meeting and initiation in the morning, lunch and a table Lodge an noon, and closed with a dance in the afternoon. A great time was enjoyed by all those present for this first-time event. Everyone present expressed the hope this would be an annual event here at the Masonic Complex. The Grand lodge Youth Scholarship Awards are awarded each year by the Grand Master and Brethren, in the community where the recipient lives. Your Grand Lodge awars 40-50 scholarships each year to Masonic Youth. The selections are made by the Scholarship Committee each spring. July 17, the Grand Master called a meeting of all Your Group Leaders to discuss a three dollar per capita to support our Youth Groups. the money would be spent to promote new membership programs here in the state of Missouri. each Youth Group will report their activities and account for the funds. The Committee Memabers wish to thank Grand Master Thompson for appointing them to serve on this important Committee this year. Again we thank you for the honor of working with you this year.

FRATERNAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE 2003路2004 Brethren: Your Fraternal Relations Committee had four meetings this year. The meetings were held at the new Masonic Complex located at 6033 Masonic Drive in Columbia, MO. This is a new committee consisting of members who are Officers in the Scottish Rite, York Rite, Shrine, and your Grand Lodge. It is the goal of our Grand Master to huild a stronger Masonic Family through his Committee, by sharing our ideas with one another. To give you an idea ofsome ofthe projects we have achieved this year as a result of this Committee, the Committee approved the second edition of the Lodge Directory Hand Book, which is so helpful in finding the location of Lodges when we travel across this Grand Jurisdication of Missouri. There are 31 appended and adoptive bodies that have a working relationship with this Grand Lodge, all of them have a Charity they support, in addition to the Masonic Home of Missouri. this year we approved a new Handbook put toghther by the Public Relations and Education Committees. Both the Lodge Directory and Handbook are available through your GrandLodge Office. I think you will find this Handbook very helpful in learning our Masonic Family and the charities they support. Discussion was held on ways we could share information regarding Membership, Calendar ofEvents, and our various Web Sites. Our Grand Master was present and gave us his view of how he was going to handle these areas of need this year. The Committee further unamimously edorsed the proposed actions byt the Grand Lodge to denounce and disclaim any and all connection of Freemasonry to "Pagans or Paganism" as the same violates the Historical Landmarks, Charges, Principals, Practices and all other tenets of Freemasonry. The Committee also worked with the Public SchoolslMasonic Youth Committee, planning the first Masonic Youth Day, held March 27,2004 in Columbia. The members of this Committee wish to thank Most Worshipful Brother Thompson for the appointment of each one of us to his impor-

NECROLOGY REPORT

One by One they pass away-the brothers of our adoption-the companions of our choice. The Masonic Funeral service is; perhaps, our most impressive Masonic ceremony. These words, from its opening, should give us all food for thought. All too often we hear these words: we appreciate their significance, we are proud of our Masonic fraternity which espouses these thoughts, we enjoy the presentation by one of our brothers for another brother, but at the same time, we might be overlooking a significant lesson. As a youngster I attended the funeral of a, well thought of and highly respected, teacher and principal who had positively influenced more than two generations of people. As we visited, one of my favorite teachers commented about the flowers. "They are just beautiful, but if someone sends me flowers, I wish they would send them while I can enjoy them." As we remember these brethren who have passed away, let us also remember the Brothers of our adoption and the companions of our choice who are still with us. In the past year we have had seven (7) brothers, including these who served our Grand Lodge in various capacities, pass from our midst and we know that we shall see them on earth no more.

REPORT OF THE LONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE To: The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Missouri, Brethren, The Grand Lodge Committee on Long Range Planning has had an exceptional year of activity as it set about the business of developing a usable and useful tool for the future. The committee's efforts were facilitated by R.W. Brother John Siscel, member of the committee. In the fashion of developing strategic plan that will be one to be followed, the committee went through the following essential steps: First, determining the present status of the Grand Lodge. At the committee's first meeting the facilitator led the group through a series of steps, designed to develop a Grand Lodge Profile, i.e. who are we, the significant milestones of the past, our purpose, services provided, identifYing member segments and our traditions and beliefs. We identified areas of unique competence and identified influencing factors in our fraternity including, but not limited to, our competition. Second, based on the identified influencing factors the committee next development assumptions upon which the plan would be based. For the purposes ofthe planning process "assumptions" are temporary estimates regarding important probable developments, which cannot be predicted with accuracy and over which the organization has no control. Third, from all of the activities, i.e., a milestones of the past, identifying member segments, identifYing traditions and beliefs, area of competence, areas of competition, all important influencing factors and the relevant assumptions, the committee members developed objectives were elicited, one at a time, from each committee member until all objectives were exhausted. After that, the committee members were asked to select their "top 5" objectives and then rank them (high to low 5-1) on a 3x5 card and turn them in to the facilitator who would compile them for the next meeting. At the next meeting the top objectives, which covered membership, communications, public relations, and the development of a master cal-

endar by which all membership within the Mason family could have access, etc. were identified. These objectives, if achieved either in whole or in part, are basic to moving our facility forward. Assignments were made by the Committee Chairman and Facilitator and, at 2 subsequent meetings attended by an increasing number of representatives of the Masonic Family, significant steps were achieved which point to the positive future of the Grand Lodge and the greater Masonic Family. First, there has been created a Master Mason Family Calendar at the Grand Lodge to which each accredited organization and its representatives have access to be able to post their important dates. The importance of this significant achievement cannot be overemphasized. The potential elimination of "conflicting dates" and the collateral damage associated there from is monumental. Even more important, however, is the positive impact this has already made on the Masonic Family, let alone the future benefits yet to be reaped. Second, membership activities were and will be the chief activity to advance by the entire Grand Lodge Leadership. The relevant committees, Membership, Public Relations, Long Range Planning and the Advancing Grand Lodge line have pledged all necessary effort, beginning with the use of the Rose Hill Membership Program will be generated. Third, the concept of a Masonic Youth Day as a second annual event took hold through the Advancing Grand Lodge line with a date set (subject to a Master Calendar) of Saturday, April 2, 2005. Fourth, a membership packet will be developed. Key to this was the directive by M.W. Brother Thompson that petitions for the Eastern Star, York, Scottish Rites and Shrine be included within that packet. This is a milestone of focused thinking which can only result in, not only more appendent body members, but (far more important) it will bring all Masonic groups together! Fifth, an increase in knowledge awareness of how to get our message across to the public. R.W. Cichielo developed press releases for such activities as Grand Lodge attendance, etc. for inclusion in Lodge Officers packets for this Session. In short, Brethren, your Long Range Planning Committee worked long, hard and productively for the future of the Grand Lodge. Its greatest achievement, however, cannot be measured quantitatively by qualitatively! The Grand Lodge line acted together as a body, setting themselves to think as one continuing leadership team, not simply 9 individuals thinking, acting, and doing only singly. The Grand Lodge, as a whole, can be proud of such an achievement. In this we only can go forward, let alone grow. We thank the Grand Lodge for the opportunity to serve. Stanley A. Thompson, Chairman John W. Siscel, Facilitator

REPORT OF THE WAYS & MEANS COMMITTEE GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI Dear Brethren: The Committee on Ways & Means met periodically throughout the year. The audit for the Grand Lodge year ending October 14,2003 was reviewed by the committee and approved. The audit was performed by Williams Keepers, Certified Public Accountants & Consultants of Columbia, MO. The audit reflected revenue that was over budget with expenses that were under budget. Most Worshipful Brother Jimmie D. Lee, his line officers and the staff of the Grand Lodge should be commended for their fiscal responsibility. In Compliance with Section 3.100 of the Grand Lodge Bylaws, the 2003-2004 Budget was reviewed. The disbursements throughout the fiscal year which exceeded the previously approved budget were reviewed, changes made and those changes approved by the committee. The revised budget (as of 9/19) reflects projected revenue of$1,336,200 with projected expenses of $1,287,160 for a net of $49,040. The Ways & Means Committee has also worked with Deputy Grand Master, RWB Elmer Revelle, to draft a Grand Lodge Budget for fiscal year 2004-2005. This proposed budget is subject to review and amendment after the close ofthe 2004 Grand Lodge session. That budget reflects proposed revenue of $1,297,600, with proposed expenses of $1,220,200 for a net of revenue over expenses of $77,400. A copy of the proposed budget is attached to and made a part herein of this report. The committee extends their thanks to our Grand Master and the Brethren for the opportunity to serve. Fraternally, The Grand Lodge Ways & Means Committee David L. Ramsey, Chairman Jimmie D. Lee, PGM W. Marion Luna John W. Mayo Larry R. Moss Gail S. Turner

NOTE 1: NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of the Organization

Grand Lodge AF & AM ofMissouri (the "Grand Lodge") is a nonprofit corporation that is exempt from income taxes pursuant to Section 501(c)(IO) of the Internal Revenue Code. Freemasonry is the oldest fraternal organization fOT men in the world. The basic organizational unit ofthe fraternity is the Lodge. Masonic Lodges retain autonomy over their fmances, activities. officer elections. fundraising, and joining ceremonies. But the Grand Lodge coordinates activities, serves as a central source of record-keeping. and performs other administrative and policy functions for the fraternity. Basis of Accounting TIle Grand Lodge's policy is to prepare its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred. Contributions are recognized when received. Classes of Net Assets The classification ofnet assets into the categories ofunrestricted, temporarily restricted and pennanently restricted is based on the existence or absence ofrestrictions placed on the use ofcontributions by the donors. For financial statement presentation purposes, the term restricted refers to stipulations that specify a use for a contribution that is more specific than broad limits resulting from the Grand Lodge's basic mission and environment in which it operates. Temporary restrictions are donor-imposed stipulations that either expire by passage of time or can be fulfiJled and removed by actions of the Grand Lodge pursuant to those stipulations. Permanent restrictions are donor-imposed stipulations that neither expire by passage of time nor can be fulfilled or otherwise removed by actions of the Lodge. When a restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. If a restriction is met in the same period the gin is received, the gift is reported as an addition to unrestricted net assets.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Assets without donor-imposed restrictions are included in unrestricted net assets. However, it is important to note that unrestricted net assets include assets designated for specific use by the Lodge's governing board as reflected in the bylaws or resolutions of the board. In addition, unrestricted net assets and temporarily restricted net assets include assets on which donors have not placed pennanent restrictions but which have been designated to be maintained as pennanent endowment type funds by the Lodge's governing board as reflected in the by-laws or resolutions of the board. Accordingly, some ofthe revenues and net assets reported in these financial statements as unrestricted are not available for general operating purposes and some of the net assets reported as unrestricted or temporarily restricted are being maintained as permanent endowment type funds. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities; and disclosure ofcontingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Eguivalents For purposes of the statement ofcash flows the Grand Lodge considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents except for amounts that otherwise meet this definition but are part of investment portfolios. Va)uation of Investments Investments in equity securities with readily determinable market values and all debt securities are reported at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are reported in the statement of activities. Other investments which have been donated to the Grand Lodge are recorded at estimated fair value at the date of the gift and adjusted thereafter only if there is evidence of impairment of the recorded fair value. Other investments which have been purchased are recorded at cost and adjusted to estimated 6

Interest and dividend income is reported in the statement of activities net of investment management and other investment fees. Fixed Assets and Depreciation Fixed assets are recorded at cost upon acquisition. Depreciation of furniture and equipment is provided over the estimated useful Jives of the respective assets using the straight-line method. Donated assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of the gift. Maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. Expenditures which significantly increase asset values or extend useful lives are capitalized.

NOTE 3: UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS Unrestricted net assets consist of the following funds:

General Fund - The Grand Lodge's operations of the main office are conducted through the General Fund. which is classified in unrestricted net assets. Permanent Fund - The Permanent Fund consists of the assets so designated prior to October 1, 1957 to assure the financial stability of the Grand Lodge. regardless of changing business conditions. No part ofthe Pennanent Fund may be expended except on order of the Grand Lodge in annual communication and ratified at the succeeding

annual communication. Reserve Fund - The Reserve Fund is designated by the Grand Lodge to only be used in case of an emergency. The revenue received for membership mailings is deposited in this fund.

NOTE 4: TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS Temporarily restricted net assets are comprised of gifts and bequests from donors which the donors require to be spent on specific purposes. Once gifts have been spent for their stipulated purposes, restrictions are considered to have been met and the net assets will be reclassified as unrestricted. The funds included in this category are as follows:

Disaster ReliefFund路 This fund receives contributions from members and is only to be spent on assistance to local lodges whose buildings have been affected by natural disasters. Smith-Stewart Memoda/ Fund - Funds in the Smith-Stewart Memorial Fund were received from the estate ofDr. Samuel Smith-Stewart in honor ofhis parents. Although the tenns of the gift pennit the funds to be used for eleemosynary or free education purposes only, the Grand Lodge has passed a resolution requiring that the principal ofthe fund be maintained for investment purposes and only the investment income and realized appreciation be used for eleemosynary or free education purposes.

GRAND LODGE A.F & Ai\![ OF MISSOURJ NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OCTOBER 31, 2004

NOTE 5: PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS Pennanently restricted net assets are comprised ofgifts and bequests from donors which have donor-imposed stipulations that neither expire by passage of time nor can be fulfilled or otherwise removed by actions ofthe Grand Lodge. Typically, the original gift amounts are required to be maintained as invested principal and only the investment income or total investment return can be spent. Pennanently restricted net assets consist of the following funds:

Endowment Fund - This fund consists of all gifts and bequests designated by donors to be invested in perpetuity. Income ofthis fund is available to assure the financial stability of the Grand Lodge regardless of changing business conditions. Endowed Membership Fund - Additions to this fund are by members who wish to purchase endowed membership, and thereby be relieved from the further payment of dues. Fifty percent of the net income from this fund is distributed to the endowed local lodges and the remaining 50 percent is available for Grand Lodge operations. Missouri state law allows the governing board of a not-for-profit organization to appropriate, absent specific stipulations to the contrary by the donor, so much of the net appreciation ofan endowment fund as is prudent considering the organization's long and short-tenn needs, present and anticipated financial requirements, expected total return on investments, price level trends, and general economic conditions.

NOTE 6: RETIREMENT PLANS The Grand Lodge is obligated to pay retirement benefits of$I,075 per month for life to a fonner Grand Lecturer. A liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements for the net present value of the estimated total future payments. The Grand Lodge provides a 40 t (k) profit sharing plan for all employees who have been with the Grand Lodge at least one year and are at least 21 years old. The plan requires the Grand Lodge to match annual contributions up to 5% of each eligible employee's compensation. The employee may contribute up to 7% of his or her annual salary. Pension expense under the plan was $18,226 for the twelve and a half months ended October 31, 2004.

DECISIONS AND EDICTS COMMITTEE M. W Bro. Stanley Thompson, Grand Master AF&AM of Missouri R. W Bro. Dr. Elmer Revelle Deputy Grand Master AF&AM of Missouri Advancing Line At the first meeting of this Committee it was decided to divide the process into three steps. The first was researching the proceedings from 1821 to the present day, identifying the Edicts and Decisions, and making copies of those pages in the Proceedings. The Second phase would be relating the Edicts and Decisions to our Constitution and Bylaws of the Grand Lodge and Third, getting that information into Computer form and printing the finished product. The First Phase has been completed and we are at work on the Second Phase. This Phase should go faster because we now can have several people at once working on the problem. We have been in contact with R.W. Bro. Jon Broyles who has agreed to put this into computer form. At this point we will not attempt to explain what all can be done with the finished product, but it will give anyone the opportunity to retrieve info in a matter of minutes instead of having to read maybe several copies of the Proceeding just to get the answer to one question and how the question has been handled in the past if that particular question has come up. The Committee is striving to have the completed Binder by sometime in Aug., 2004 so that it can be ready for the new Grand Lodge Year. This has not and will not be an easy task but the result will be worth all the work that has went into the project. It will save untold time and effort in the future for all who need info about Edicts and Decisions of the Past Grand Masters. We, the Committee thank M. W. Bro. Stanley for the opportunity to serve for and with him. The Committee on Decisions and Edicts RW Brother Larry Moss RW Brother Larry Reynolds Co-Chairmen

Master Lee announced that our first issue of a newsletter had been prepared and edited by Most Worshipful Brother Bill Soutiea, and asked for comments regarding whether or not the newsletter is something needed and enjoyed. Because of positive comments stated both before and during the meeting, a motion was made, seconded and passed "that Bill Soutiea be appointed our newsletter editor".

PRESENTATIONS TO M.W.B. STANLEY M THOMPSON MW Elmer E Revelle addressed the Grand Lodge and expressed his appreciation to Past Grand Master Stanley M Thompson, and presented a patent that certified his service to the Grand Lodge of Missouri as Grand Master. REMARKS OF MW GRAND MASTER ELMER E. REVELLE "Thank you to the installing officers and for the gifts presented. Thanks to Ashland Lodge No. 156 for your support and presentations. I would like to thank the other lodges that I have belonged to over the years and their aid in my Masonic development, Perryville Lodge No. 670, Memphis Lodge No. 16, Montgomery Lodge No. 246 and ElvinIonic Lodge No. 154." Our Grand Master formally introduced his wife Diana Revelle, his son Shawn Revelle, mother Elener Revelle, Tom and Barbara Gibbons (Diana's sister and husband) daughter Leslie was unable to attend. Our Grand Master introduced those whom he worked with recognizing and introduced Bishop Schuase, Dala Dunn, administrative assistant, Dr. Reuben Wilbur, conference treasurer, Dr. Steve Cox, conference director of connectional ministries, Terry and Becky Calcote, Becky is staff in the conference office, Terry is the creator of the Grand Master's Jewel and lapel pin. G.M. Revelle asked the families of the Grand Lodge officers to stand and be greeted. M.W.B. Revelle informed those assembled that he was still fully employed and asked that invitations be sent to him as far in advance as possible in writing. He expressed his expectations by encouraging the craft in two ways: First, remember your obligation, Second, live out those three words. He also asked membership to follow the process of dealing with conflicts to first contact the District Deputy Grand Master. If they cannot resolved the matter then contact the Grand Master. "It was my assurance that we would always work for reconciliation and resolution before moving to legal actions." Grand Master Revelle informed everyone that there will be no new programs and that the DDGM's would highlight the continuing programs when they made their official visits. He announced his theme for the year which is "live in harmony" and told those present that they would hear more about that as the year continued.
