The ceremony started on the courthouse steps with Master Michael E. Martin opening the ceremony. Special speakers were County Judge Executive David Voegle, The Honorable Mayor, Bill Lamlein. Grand Master Donald H. Yankey. Brother Yankey concluded the speeches and led the entire group of Masons and spectators from the Courthouse through the Farmers Market and then down the tracks of Main Street in LaGrange, Kentucky to the Temple of Fortitude Lodge. There the actual Cornerstone Ceremony took place. Led by the Grand Lodge Officers of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, the stone was dedicated in Ritualistic form. The original Cornerstone was laid on July 4, 1911 at the Masonic Temple. The Cornerstone has a time capsule behind it with contents from that time period. The Brothers of Fortitude No. 47 voted to leave the original Cornerstone and time capsule intact for the Craft to open another 100 years from now. Similar items from this time period were placed in the new capsule to be opened at a later date by vote of the Craft. This ceremony was to celebrate the building of the Temple and the fact that Fortitude Lodge No. 47 has occupied it from the beginning. Chartered in 1818, the Brothers of Fortitude No. 47 will celebrate an even bigger event in 2018 its 200th birthday! On Sunday, August 7, 2011, Most Worshipful Grand Master Donald Yankey called a Lodge Of Convenience at Baptist Hospital East for the purpose of conferring the Master Mason Degree on Brother Richard Sanders, Sr. of Jeffersontown Lodge No. 774 F&AM.

2 Page 2 MASONIC HOME JOURNAL September, 2011 Grand Master s Message DONALD H. YANKEY Grand Master This will be the last article I will write before Grand Lodge. I hope to see many of you there. This past year has gone by so fast. There have been many events, and many Lodges I have had the pleasure to attend. The brethren have made me feel so welcome in all the Lodges. You have honored me by allowing me to serve as Grand Master this year. I can only hope that I have served to your expectations. Yet this year is not over. There are many things yet to be done and many plans to be followed. I would en- courage the delegates to Grand Lodge to be prepared, and to educate yourself on the items that will be brought to the floor for you to decide. This is very important to every Lodge in the State. The choices you make there will impact Masonry for many years. So I would ask that you be informed and cast your votes for the good of your Lodge, and for the good of Freemasonry. We as Masons must at times lay our personal feelings aside and do those things we know are best for Freemasonry. First Lady Janice and I would like to Thank You for making us feel part of your Lodges and family this year. You have shown us the true meaning of Masonry by accepting us with open arms as we have visited. For that, we will always be grateful. Continue to let your Light shine in your community, Take care of our Widows, and keep Peace, Harmony and Love amongst each other. Masonry is a way of Life, not just a Fraternity to which we belong.

3 September, 2011 MASONIC HOME JOURNAL Page 3 ANNUAL COMMUNICATION PAMPHLET The 212th Annual Communication pamphlet that contains instructions for the Lodge delegates who will attend the Annual Communication will be mailed to each Lodge Secretary on or soon after September 1. The pamphlet also lists all legislation that is to come before the assembly, along with the budget that is proposed for the next Grand Lodge fiscal year. Other budget information provided in the pamphlet is a projection of revenue that will be realized from the craft, based on the membership, and from other sources. These pamphlets will also be available to each member that registers at the Annual Communication for as long as they last. Each Lodge Secretary is instructed to read the pamphlet at the next communication of the Lodge following receipt of the same, and pass it on to the delegate that will represent the Lodge at the Annual Communication. This will insure that the delegates will come to Grand Lodge fully prepared to consider, discuss, and to act upon the issues at hand. However, should the delegate fail to receive one from the Secretary of his Lodge, one will be found in his registration packet when he registers at the annual session. Every attempt is being made to ensure that each delegate is fully informed on the issues of legislation and budget prior to the Annual Communication. However, if some ques- FROM YOUR GRAND SECRETARY JOSEPH R. CONWAY, P.G.M. Grand Secretary tions still remain, perhaps a call to the Grand Lodge Office or to one of the Grand Lodge Officers about your concerns might be helpful. COMMITTEE REPORTS A reminder to all Grand Lodge Committee Chairmen who wish to have their reports printed in the Advance Proceedings, that they must be received in the Grand Lodge Office prior to September 15th. This deadline allows only enough time to assemble the Reports and complete the printing of the Advance Proceedings. However, if you have your report finished earlier than the 15th of September, please send it to the Grand Lodge Office at your earliest convenience. The office staff and I will certainly appreciate it.

Page 20 Called Communications.

With the Lodges using a mass calling system having to keep said report on file for one Calendar year. This would help keep the cost down for the small lodge and would give all members the same call. Gilbertsville Lodge No. 835, F.&A.M. ITEM NO. 4 Whereas; It is our belief that no Brother has ever been raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason without knowledge of the amount and due date for the payment of his dues obligation. Further, all subordinate lodges are under a moral obligation to take every step available to them to keep Brothers in good standing but Freemasonry must accept the fact that when a Brother makes the decision to stop paying his dues obligation, for whatever reason, be it good or bad, his decision is usually irreversible and he will cease his association with the world s greatest fraternity. Further, it should not be the policy of any lodge to arbitrarily suspend a Brother for nonpayment of his dues when circumstances beyond his control make it impossible to fulfill his obligation and he has so explained his plight to the Brothers of his lodge. However, the cost of certified mail is expensive and becoming more so, creating undue burdens upon the limited finances of many lodges, not to mention the added unnecessary work and travel expense for lodge secretaries required in preparation and processing of the same. Couple this with the fact that many certified items go unclaimed and are not forwarded and are returned to sender which required lodge secretaries to make a trip to their local post office and sign in order to pick up returned items. Therefore, be it resolved that Robert Burns Lodge #163, F. & A.M. of Newport, Kentucky at a stated communication held on July 20, 2011 unanimously adopted this resolution recommending the amendment of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, F. & A.M. Book of Constitution, Section 176; Notice Before Action to read: No Brother shall be suspended for nonpayment of dues until he shall have been notified by first class mail or personal service..(the remainder of Section 176 to remain unchanged). Further, that Section 177; Unknown Address ; amend to read; When a Brother s address is unknown and after every reasonable means to discover it shall have been exhausted, notice shall be given by first class letter sent to him at his last known address (the remainder of Section 177 to remain unchanged). Motion was made, duly seconded and unanimously adopted as stated above, made a part of the minutes of said communication and forwarded to the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, F. & A.M. Committee on Jurisprudence. Robert Burns Lodge No. 163, F&AM ITEM NO. 5 WHEREAS Section 217 of the Book of Constitutions of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, Free and Accepted Masons provides for amendments to the constitution, and WHEREAS Twenty-seven Grand Lodges in the United States have placed restrictions on the time allowed for Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts to advance to the next degree, and WHEREAS Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts who don t promptly advance to the next degree ten to linger on the rolls for years, and WHEREAS A time limit to advance to the next degree may encourage Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts to complete their work in a timely manner, and WHEREAS The goal of every candidate should be to advance to the Master Mason degree, and WHEREAS Masonic membership is a privilege, not a right, and WHEREAS The Grand Lodge and subordinate lodges may lose dues revenue from those Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts who choose not to advance, but their workload and expense would correspondingly decrease, The Officers and Bothers of Morrison Lodge No. 76 have RESOLVED That the following amendment to the constitution be considered at the next annual communication of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, Free and Accepted Mason. Section 143. Time Between Degrees. The time between petition and initiation or affiliation and ballot thereon, and the time between each degree is a minimum of one lunar month, and the Grand Master is not authorized to dispense with this time, except in case or cases where it has been determined an Entered Apprentice and/or Fellow Craft Mason will not survive to be Raised a Master Mason under the aforementioned time constraint, the Grand Master is authorized to make the Entered Apprentice and/or Fellow Craft a Mason at Sight (2009) Be changed to read: Section 143. Time Between Degrees. The time between petition and initiation or affiliation and ballot thereon, and the time between each degree is a minimum of one lunar month, and the Grand Master is not authorized to dispense with this time, except in case or cases where it has been determined an Entered Apprentice and/or Fellow Craft Mason will not survive to be Raised a Master Mason under the aforementioned time constraint, the Grand Master is authorized to make the Entered Apprentice and/or Fellow Craft a Mason at Sight. The Maximum time between degrees is one year. Nine months after the Entered Apprentice or Fellow Craft degree is conferred, a registered letter will be sent to the candidate advising him to give reason why he has not advanced, or be suspended. The lodge may grant one twelve-month extension, by two-thirds vote, for cause.

So as when amended will read: SECTION AFTER SUSPENSION FOR NON-PAYMENT. A brother suspended for non-payment of dues shall rest under suspension until he has submitted a petition for reinstatement to the lodge from which he was first suspended, which petition must be referred to and be reported on by committee the same as any other petition for membership, paid the amount owing up to the time of suspension, and re-elected to membership by unanimous ballot of the membership present. The Elected Grand Lodge Officers ITEM NO. 9 Amend Section 107 of the Book of Constitutions which now reads: SECTION CALLED COMMUNICATIONS. The Master, or one lawfully acting in his place, may call a communication of his lodge at pleasure and upon written request of eight or more members of his lodge shall call a communication for the consideration of such matters as may be named in said request. Notice of all called communications shall be given to the members of the lodge: and no business shall be transacted at a called communication except that specified in the notice. Provided, that a lodge may be opened for instruction at any time. So as when amended shall read: SECTION CALLED COMMUNICATIONS. The Master, or one lawfully acting in his place, may call a communication of his lodge at pleasure and upon written request of eight or more members of his lodge shall call a communication for the consideration of such matters as may be named in said request.

Notice to members of a subordinate lodge shall be (1) in writing addressed to the lodge membership or member affected with postage thereon pre-paid; (2) Published in the Masonic Home Journal; (3) Announced to the Craft by the master or someone lawfully acting in his place during a stated communication of the lodge. The Elected Grand Lodge Officers ITEM NO. 11 Amend Section No. 124 of the Book of Constitutions which now reads: Section 124 Petitions When Received And Balloted On. A petition for initiation or for affiliation shall be recommended by two Master Masons who are members of the lodge petitioned, and be referred to a committee of three other members for inquiry into the character and qualifications of the petitioner. Such petition must be received at a stated communication and one lunar month must intervene between its reception and the balloting thereon. But no ballot shall be taken on a petition until said committee shall have made its report thereon. If, however, the petitioner shall have been rejected by another lodge in this Grand Jurisdiction, a copy of the petition shall be forwarded to the lodge which last rejected him and be referred by it to a committee of three members for inquiry into the character and qualifications of the petitioner, and the report of the committee shall be forwarded under the seal of the lodge to the lodge petitioned and no ballot shall be taken until its receipt of such a report. If said report is not made to the lodge making the request within ninety days, said lodge making the request has full power and authority to proceed to act on the petition and elect or reject the applicant. A ballot must be taken upon a petition for initiation or affiliation, whether the report of the Committee on Investigation be favorable or unfavorable, unless the petition be withdrawn, as permitted in Section 125 of the Constitution. A member whose name appears upon a petition as recommending the petitioner shall not be put upon the Committee on Investigation. The report of a majority of an Investigating Committee is the report of the committee, but if there be a minority report, the fact should be a part of his record. If the committee has taken no action for one or more months after their appointment, the Master may treat their places vacant and appoint others to be the Investigating Committee. A committee to whom a petition for affiliation is referred should take into consideration not only the moral character and fitness of the applicant, but also the authenticity of his demit or current status if for dual membership.

The fee for the background check is to be paid by the petitioner with the initial fees for the degrees. A petition for initiation or for affiliation shall be recommended by two Master Masons who are members of the lodge petitioned, and be referred to a committee of three other members for inquiry into the character and qualifications of the petitioner. Such petition must be received at a stated communication and one lunar month must intervene between its reception and the balloting thereon. But no ballot shall be taken on a petition until said committee shall have made its report thereon. If, however, the petitioner shall have been rejected by another lodge in this Grand Jurisdiction, a copy of the petition shall be forwarded to the lodge which last rejected him and be referred by it to a committee of three members for inquiry into the character and qualifications of the petitioner, and the report of the committee shall be forwarded under the seal of the lodge to the lodge petitioned and no ballot shall be taken until its receipt of such a report. If said report is not made to the lodge making the request within ninety days, said lodge making the request has full power and authority to proceed to act on the petition and elect or reject the applicant. A ballot must be taken upon a petition for initiation or affiliation, whether the report of the Committee on Investigation be favorable or unfavorable, unless the petition be withdrawn, as permitted in Section 125 of the Constitution. A member whose name appears upon a petition as recommending the petitioner shall not be put upon the Committee on Investigation. The report of a majority of an Investigating Committee is the report of the committee, but if there be a minority report, the fact should be a part of his record. If the committee has taken no action for one or more months after their appointment, the Master may treat their places vacant and appoint others to be the Investigating Committee. A committee to whom a petition for affiliation is referred should take into consideration not only the moral character and fitness of the applicant, but also the authenticity of his demit or current status if for dual membership.

Boy Scout Troop 506 (Chartered by Kilwinning Lodge 506), Girl Scout Troop 945 along with several lodge members, family and friends traveled to our nation s capitol at the end of July. The highlights of the trip were laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery, tour of the White House, sitting in the U.S. Senate Gallery and watching Mitch McConnell speak about the nation s debt. Also included were all the monuments and Smithsonian s to boot. On the way back to Louisville we stopped at Mt. Vernon, the home of George Washington. The trip was very eventful and exciting for all who attended. We have lots of great memories and pictures to share. Photos of the Eagle Scouts laying the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and of the group at the Capital.
