| Brethren - As you have been previously notified,the North Carolina Mason magazine is no longer being mailed directly by Grand Lodge. We are now receiving it in bulk directly and we must distribute it ourselves. I have already placed multiple copies on each level of our lodge building for you to take whenever you are at the lodge. Copies are now on the table at the dining room entrance, as well as by the front door and the sign-in table on the lodge level. Should you wish to read the issues, which are quarterly, on-line rather than as hard copy I will be getting the link to you shortly. For those who have no computer and cannot get to lodge for some reason it is my understanding that arrangements with Grand Lodge for such mailing can be made. DNW |

Due to the way Grand View processes dues notices a situation has reared its ugly head. Many, if not all, dues notices for 2024 which were generated and sent out in early November 2023 did not actually go out until January and February of this year. Of those, many still have not been sent. I have made the appropriate people aware of this.
Due to the problem this year many of you may not realize our dues went up for 2024 and that they were due January 1st. If you have not already paid your dues for 2023 please get them in promptly so that we may pay our current bills on time
. I thank you for your patience with us as we, and Grand Lodge, work through the difficult transition to a new record keeping system. .

The LKN Shrine Club along with Mooresville & Campbell masonic lodges are invited to FEED NC 2456 Charlotte Hwy, Mooresville on TUESDAY JANUARY 30th at 7pm, arrive around 6:45pm. This is the 5th Tuesday and nobody has a meeting. We’d like to see 5-10 from each lodge/club.

Brethren - As you should know, at our September 12th meting we voted to increase the 2014 lodge dues from $150 per year to $200 per year. (We reported this in the minutes of last meeting which are posted on Grand View within a day or two of every meeting.) This message is a reminder to start thinking about budgeting for your next year's dues. It is also a reminder to those planning to attend the Grand Lodge Annual Communication next week. You need to register via Grand View if you are a delegate planning to attend. Those delegates not able to attend can get their proxy on Grand View also. BE advised that Grand View is becoming the center of all Grand Lodge interfacing with the lodge level. Take note that even paying your dues via Grand View is about to become a reality.
David
