In keeping with the guidance provided by health authorities as well as the directives from the Grand Lodge, Jackson County and the State of Missouri, Raytown Lodge #391 has cancelled our stated meetings in April.
We will monitor the situation closely and make plans to resume our meeting and activity schedule when it is safe to do so. In the meantime we sincerely hope everyone stays safe and healthy.
Brethren, on this Easter holiday I hope each of our brothers and their families are safe and healthy. As we reflect on the history and meaning of the day please keep also in mind the tenets of our institution.
As a society we have been in uncharted territory for some time now, not having seen anything even similar to this in a century. I have every confidence that we will overcome these challenges and come out of this, as a nation and as a society stronger than before.
I’m sure everyone is looking forward to returning to their regular lives and routines just as soon as it’s safe to do so. As an organization we have much work to do. We had a full slate of activities planned for this year and although I am sure our plans may change somewhat we will need everyone ready to jump in and do what they can to get our lodge back on track as soon as possible.
In the meantime I hope everyone continues to follow sound guidance to keep ourselves and families safe. I look forward to seeing you soon.
Fraternally,
Rick Kingcade
Worshipful Master
