ANNUAL COMMUNICATION PAMPHLET The 211th 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.

Farmington Lodge No. 382, F&AM ITEM NO. 5 Trial Code SECTION 2-DEFINITIONS Subsection (K) UNMASONIC CONDUCT- A Mason is guilty of unmasonic conduct if he: Add the following as points (8) and (9) change all following numbering in the subsection effected: (8) Unlawful carnal intercourse with any male. (9) Freemasonry is pro-family and recognizes marriage as between one man and one woman. Any other relationship is a violation of the moral law and therefore unmasonic conduct. Homosexual relationships, openly professed and practiced, are a violation of the moral law and therefore unmasonic conduct. No openly homosexual Freemason shall be allowed to retain membership in this grand jurisdiction. The section will then read: (K) UNMASONIC CONDUCT-A Mason is guilty of unmasonic conduct if he: (1) Violates the laws, customs, principles, or ancient usages of Masonry, or (2) Commits a crime involving moral turpitude. (3) Threatens that the lodge shall not increase in membership, or that no more candidates shall be elected; or by words of like purpose threaten the growth or prosperity of the lodge, and candidates are in fact rejected thereafter when he is present, he may be tried for unmasonic conduct, because of the threat. (4) Uses the Masonic Emblems, or the term Masonic in advertising any business by any individual or company. (5) Habitually takes the name of God in vain, or blasphemy. (6) Drunkenness is a Masonic offense, and the lodge should be rigid in their discipline on this subject. (7) Unlawful carnal intercourse with any female. (8) Unlawful carnal intercourse with any male. (9) Freemasonry is pro-family and recognizes marriage as between one man and one woman. Any other relationship is a violation of the moral law and therefore unmasonic conduct. Homosexual relationships, openly professed and practiced, are a violation of the moral law and therefore unmasonic conduct. No openly homosexual Freemason shall be allowed to retain membership in this grand jurisdiction. (10) Violation of any oath lawfully taken is Masonic offense. (11) The abuse, battery or injury by a Mason of his wife is an offense against Masonry. For a Mason to desert wife or family is unmasonic conduct. A Mason is bound to obey the moral law, and is under special obligations to observe and preserve the sanctity of the martial relation. (12) to honestly take the benefit of the bankrupt law is not a Masonic offense, but this does not relieve a bankrupt from the moral obligation to pay his debt, should he thereafter become able. (13) A lawsuit is not a Masonic offense. (14) Inability to pay debts is not a Masonic offense, but a debtor s refusal to meet pecuniary obligations he is able to meet, being an infraction of the moral law, is a Masonic offense. (15) The statute of limitation does not relieve a debtor from the moral obligation to pay a debt if he be able to do so. (16) Polygamy is a crime against moral and Masonic laws. (17) Soliciting petitions for initiation into Masonry is a violation of Masonic law, is contrary to the accepted teaching of the fraternity, and unmasonic. (18) Disobedience of a Summons. A summon is the most forcible writ known to Masonry. So long as he is a member of the Fraternity, an Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft or Master Mason must obey this writ, whether he be a non-affiliate, a member of the lodge issuing the citation, or otherwise. Disobedience thereof would constitute one of the gravest of Masonic offenses, if it be shown the summons had been received, and is an act of insubordination, for which charges should be preferred.

Shelby Lodge No. 662, F&AM ITEM NO. 7 Section 104. Business.

Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts will, at the Master s discretion, be allowed to participate in appropriate Lodge business. 3.

The majority of lodges agree with this request. The following are those lodges who responded and agree: Latonia Lodge No. 746, F&AM, Florence Lodge No. 949, F&AM, Elvin E. Helms Lodge No. 926, F&AM, Bradford Lodge No. 123, F&AM., Hebron Lodge No. 757, F&AM, Golden Rule Lodge No. 345, F&AM, Covington Lodge No. 109, F&AM, Fort Thomas Lodge No. 808, F&AM, Henry Barnes Lodge No. 607, F&AM, Alexandria Lodge No. 152, F&AM, Robert Burns Lodge No. 163, F&AM, Silver Grove Lodge No. 916, F&AM, Mayo Lodge No. 198, F&AM, Newport Lodge No. 358 F&AM and Aspen Grove Lodge No. 397, F&AM. Fraternally Thomas Roundtree, PM - Master Latonia Lodge No. 746, F&AM 1553 Madison Ave Covington, KY ITEM NO. 9 Background Checks At the 2010 District 8 meeting the subject of background checks adopted at the annual communication was discussed. At two separate meetings held by the Brothers of Leitchfield Lodge No. 236 a rather lengthy discussion was held on this subject and at both meetings a unanimous vote was taken to send this letter of protest requesting that the Grand Master s recommendation #1 adopted at the annual communication be dropped. We, as members, find that this background check is the job of the Brothers of each Lodge and that this recommendation is a slap in the face of the trusted Brothers assigned to investigate the candidate as well as the two worthy Brothers who recommend the candidate. This also adds an additional cost to the candidate and it seems a company in Florida is making a large profit. The same background check can be obtained from the local Sheriff s department for $5.00, if there is a question about a candidate. We, as members of Leitchfield Lodge, request that recommendation #1 adopted at the annual communication be cancelled and leave the investigating up to the individual Lodges as before.

Lancaster Lodge 104 Full House Problem Problems. Problems. Problems. Pesky problems keep popping up persistently. Recently, I had one to pop up, but some problems are pleasant to deal with. Lancaster Lodge No. 104 meets at 7:30 P. M. on the second Tuesday of each month. One evening recently, I planned to get there about thirty minutes before the Lodge communication began. When I arrived, the Lodge Hall, with ample parking space, was surrounded with cars; I could not find a parking space. To solve my problem, I decided to park on the shoulder of the road in front of the Lodge Hall. A short time after I entered the Lodge Hall, a door to the Fellowship Hall opened and, in a few minutes, the hall was filled with the laughter of Masons talking with other Masons. At the appropriate time, the Master used his gavel to quiet the crowd. At that moment, I surveyed the hall; almost every seat was occupied. Lancaster Lodge, thanks to the leadership of men like Joe Alexander, David Shepherd, Ron Ledford, John West, and Johnny Yates, is alive and well. Attendance is great, and at almost every communication, the Lodge receives one or more petitions.
