Ottumwa York Rite

Tuesday July 7th, the Ottumwa York Rite hosted a friendship night. I must say it was a dismal day, filled with heavy rains and winds, but inside their temple all was well. Approximately 40 men and ladies enjoyed a good meal, then the program started. I was introduced and after the usual (but shorter than normal) introduction, the DVD from the Grand Commandery of Indiana was shown. This DVD is the same one the Membership Committee sent to over 500 prospective new York Rite Members. Its is good! The Sir Knight David talked about why one should seek further light in Masonry in the York Rite.

When the evening was done I was informed that they had 5 or 6, with more to follow petitions.
It has been several years since the degrees have been performed in Ottumwa, but I think that is about to change.
