Brethren,

The attached official statement will be posted on our website later today.

As you know, events concerning the Pike statue took place on Friday, June 19, 2020.  I drafted the attached statement early on June 20, but intentionally waited a time with patience in the hope that tensions would level to some degree.  Any questions, concerns, suggestions or requests for response on this matter should be directed to my office.  No other staff member of this Council, unless specifically designated by me, is authorized to respond on this matter.

History is evaluated, written and judged by individuals based upon what is almost always an incomplete set of facts. For that reason, arguing any pro or con about Pike or any historical figure is an endeavor with a limited potential for success.  For that reason, I choose to focus on who we are today and where we must go.

You may post the attached or provide links to our website or distribute as you wish.

Thank you for your support of our Rite.

Fraternally,

Jim

A MESSAGE DEPUTY HOOVER REQUESTED TO SHARE

Illustrious Brother Hoover,

As the Grand Commander mentioned in the above video we are asking for you to support BeAFreemason.org by including it on all your websites, social media pages and outgoing publications- both print and email.

The new website will serve as a guide for men who are interested in becoming Masons and act as a referral service matching interested men with the Grand Lodge in their area.

Below you will find a link to BeAFreemason.org which is live and will be officially launched on March 1, 2020.

If you or your Orient or Valley staff need help with wording, art work, or with posting this information on your various websites and  social media pages, simply reply to this email and I will make sure someone helps you as quickly as possible.

Fraternally,

Dean
