As I write this, I am preparing for the fall Third District board meeting, so this will be a short message.
The district has secured two sites for the cultural/sports weekends. One in New York State for members in the north and one in North Carolina for members in the south. You will receive more information (places, dates and prices) in the next month.
Our leadership training program has been going very well and we have more dates scheduled for virtual zoom sessions, they are Sunday November 5th from 3 to 5pm, Friday November 10th from 7 to 9pm and Sunday November 12th from 3 to 5pm. All the sessions will be the same program, so you do not have to sign up for all three, just one. They are open to all third district members. If you are interested in attending any of these dates, please register with your Zone Director by sending him or her your email address and the day that you wish to attend.
Lodges that are electing new officers for 2024 should be planning to hold their elections in November so that your secretary can complete the D-63, Change in Officer report by the December 31, 2023 deadline.
I hope to have more information to share with you in my next president’s message after the upcoming board meeting.
At this time Karen and I and the whole Third District Board would like to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Fraternally,
Stephen Helmold
