Sir Knights, I hope you are all surviving our lovely Nebraska weather. For this month’s article I’d like to bring everyone up to date on the activities of the Omaha Area York Rite Unity group (and its last meeting held after the 18 March YR Council meeting). I believe most of you are aware of the group, but if not, it was formed to enhance communication and unity among the York Rite bodies in the greater Omaha area.

Winding down, one meeting to go, and the fund raiser... Despite the encouragement, I will not deliberately open in Texas form just to drive AJ around the bend... The new officers are HP Dennis Newman, King Jonathan Paz, Scribe AJ Johnson, Treasurer Chip Avant, and Secretary Carl Highman. Our Fund Raiser Steak Fry will be Saturday April 3rd, 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. 10oz Steak, Green Beans and/or Corn, Baked Potato, Roll and Desert $12/ Kids under 10 $8. Installation will be on May 1^st at 2PM.

The boys, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to not go to Round Up this year in Kearney and focus instead on the Shrine Bowl, parade, game and dance in Lincoln in June and Conclave in July in Grand Island. They are working on bringing in one new member and two of our advisors are working on bringing in one each, if successful, any future members would receive an 8-man initiatory (all the work with each boy except the Sr Deacon doing two parts) as opposed to the short form currently being performed.

Ladies and Brethren,

Thank you! Thanks to everyone for your help and support.

I really enjoyed the installation on January 2. Everyone pulled together to help. It was very encouraging to know that our whole family is there with the success of the program at heart.

The Chapter hasn't been meeting because of the weather, but the boys were here for the Lodge installation and again, to meet downstairs to plan the term. Look for a fund raiser and other projects. The new Sweetheart should be elected and installed early in February, and there should be a new boy added to the rooster by the end of the month as well.

Do you have a birthday in February? Do you know anybody who does? Grab them by the arm and bring them to the Papillion Masonic Center on Sunday, February 7 at 5:00
P. M. and we will celebrate all the birthdays at the same time. There will be fun, food and entertainment.

Sir Knights,

Members of Florence Chapter have been participating in the presentations of certificates of congratulations from the four York Rite bodies to the in-coming Masters of the various local lodges. They were very well received and I expect the project to be continued in future years. This was the brain child of Metro York Rite which is composed of the top two officers from each of the four bodies; they met quarterly, in Bellevue, after the Council of Cryptic Masons.
Remember, elections are in March, Grand York Rite in April, and installation is in May.
