Yesterday George Nockengost and I started at 8:00 AM what was destined to be a long day.
We headed for a degree day at the Elyria Masonic Temple. This is a group of four Chapters doing their inspections. That morning we saw 4 candidates receive the MkM, PM and MEM degrees. All three degrees were done in a fine manner. This was my 4th time to attend the all Chapter degree day in Elyria and it was as well done and coordinated as each of the last. All the work is done in one room and there is almost no lost time. They take a 10 minute break between degrees and move on.
At about 12:30 PM the MEM concluded and there was a break for lunch. Lunch is always the same. They have a chile cook-off. The Companions bring in crock-pots of their chile. Every body gives each one a try and then votes on their favorite by putting a dollar in a basket in front of the crock-pot. The money goes to charity. Not only does this make for a nice lunch, it does not cost the Chapters much and 4 charities benefit from the collections.
After lunch George and I headed south to Ironton for LaGrange Chapter's inspection.
'til the next time.
