Postponement of the 164th Annual Communication

__________________________________

In conformance with and under the authority of the Constitution and By-laws of our Jurisdiction, on Friday, March 20th, 2020, at the Grand Lodge building in Topeka, Grand Master Delmus  R. “Dale” Morrow formally turn over the leadership role as Grand Master to Deputy Grand Master Anthony W. “Tony” Borum. Brother Borum was duly elected Grand Master at the previous Annual Communication in Wichita and has served as Deputy Grand Master since that time. M∴W∴ Morrow personally performed the installation. This installation that usually takes place as a public event was instead completed with only necessary attendees present. This was done out of an abundance of caution and to follow the recommendation of the Center for Disease Control. We will do our best to bring that installation to you as a recorded video.

Your current elected Grand Lodge officers, which includes Grand Senior Warden Mikel J. Stoops, Grand Junior Warden Michael D. Johnson II, Grand Treasurer B. Cole Presley, and Grand Secretary Tracy L. Bloom, will retain their offices until the 164th Annual Communication can be held, and the official election of officers takes place.

All 2019-2020 appointed Grand Lodge Officers’ terms ended on March 20th at Noon.

All 2020-2021 appointed Grand Lodge Officers’ terms will begin soon. Further information about this will be sent at the appropriate time.

It is with a heavy heart and out of an abundance of caution and concern for the safety and wellbeing of our Brothers, their families, and their communities, that our Grand Master, M.W. Dale Morrow, with the full support of your Council of Administration and the leadership of our Grand Lodge, has determined that the 164th Annual Communication will be postponed. The 164th Annual communication will be held at a time and place yet to be determined. When such a decision is made, due notice will be sent to all Members of the Grand Lodge and to its constituent Lodges.

Please know that this decision was not made lightly, and those involved in this decision are genuinely sorry for all the inconveniences it might cause. We thank you for your zeal and your service to your Lodge and to our Ancient and Honorable Fraternity.

May the Grand Architect of the Universe Bless and Protect you and your families.

With the postponement of the 164th Annual Communication, we wanted to make this program available so that those receive awards can be recognized for their accomplishments. Click the image to download the full program.
