Thank you to all who attended the 201st Session of the Supreme Council last week in Washington D.C. It was most inspiration and enjoyable.
New Deputies: Four new state Deputys were installed into office. Michael A. DeWolf, Wisconsin; David P. Spencer, New York; Mark C. Roth, New Hampshire; and Alan R. Heath, Maine.
New Active Members: Eight new Active Members were elected and installed. Herbert Atkinson, Delaware; Elbridge Brewer, Ohio; Jeffrey Bryden, Wisconsin; Gregory Clark, Illinois; Jeffry Simonton, Main Peter Smith, Massachusetts; Steven Smith, Rhode Island; and Daniel Wilson, New Jersey.
During the inspirational General Session, Ill. Brothers Ronald G. "Pete" Forrest and Richard B. Burgess received the Scottish Rite Medal of Honor. Sovereign Grand Commander, Ill. John Wm. McNaughton, 33°, was awarded the John James Joseph Gourgas Medal, the highest honor in the Scottish Rite in recognition of distinguished service in the cause of Freemasonry, humanity or country.
The culmination of the Session was the conferral of the 33° on 157 deserving Masons, followed by a gala banquet. Congratulations to our new Sovereign Grand Inspectors General. Eighty-three Brothers were elected to receive the 33° in Indianapolis, Indiana, on September 1, 2015.
Our next Biannual meeting of the Supreme Council will be held in Indianapolis, August 29 - September 1, 2015. The location of the 2017 meeting is still to be determined.
A very special thank you to the Supreme Council staff and the production crew who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this a very successful 201st Session.
