9th District Grand High Priest Reception

Well I got home from the King's School about 11:30 AM and by noon Julia had us on the way to the local garden center to buy plants.   She loves having a garden and wanted one at home this year instead of at our daughter's place which is 26 miles south.   So we now have a raised garden, not very big but enough to satisfy her.   I just mention this because it had to be done between Chapter meetings.

At 5:00 PM we were off to Huron Chapter in Norwalk and the 9th District's Grand High Priest's Reception.  This is only a 42 mile trip of about 50 minutes.

We started the evening with the notorious Masonic meal of salad, swiss steak, mashed potatoes, green beans and cake.

The meal was very good and served HOT.   The cooks must of thought every body was really hungry because the portions were really big.   At least they were at our table.

The "good looking cooks"

The "not so good looking cooks"

Nice Cake!  It was half white and half chocolate.

At around 7:30 went retired to the lodge room for the presentation of High Priest certificates and District Awards.

I had been to this building once before but had never been in the Lodge Room its self.

It is a nice sized room.   Not overly big but as the pictures show, bigger than many lodges.

The room in not fancy at all but it is well maintained.   It is air conditioned but apparently not turned on early enough has the room was just a tad warm.

REC Smith made the presentation of High Priest certificates and the District awards.  The picture is all those who received awards and REC Smith.










Before I was given the floor REC Smith presented Julia and I checks from the District to be used for whatever cause we wanted.   Julia took them both and said they were going to Western Reserve Masonic Community to be use for the dementia unit.  At least I got to see my check before I was told what I was going to do with it.

I talked too long on my normal topic of what is going on the your Grand Chapter but we we still where out of the reception at a few minutes past 8:30 PM.

Another good night with good food, good Companionship and dry roads coming and going.

"til the next time.
