PROCEEDINGS GRAND LODGE - Freemasons of Wisconsin

FRATERNAL RELATIONS WITH PRINCE HALLCOMMITTEE REPORTTo the Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Wisconsin:This committee was formed many years ago to meet with a like committee fromthe Prince Hall Grand Lodge to foster mutual understanding and Brotherhood.Steady progress has been made over the years until now we recognize each other forvisitation purposes. Our “stated” meetings are held once each year, usually inNovember. All of the elected Grand Lodge officers are members of the committeeplus a few others. Each Grand Lodge hosts the meeting on alternate years. In 2005we met on November 18th and the Prince Hall Grand Lodge hosted the get-together.As a result of these meetings, not only did we achieve recognition, but we havebeen able to initiate other joint programs and promote joint programs on the lodgelevel and visitations between lodges. One of the most successful of these is theannual table lodge which was enjoyed for the third time on March 29, 2006, at thePrince Hall Grand Lodge center in Milwaukee. I urge those of you who have notattended one of these table lodges to watch for the announcement of one to be heldin 2007, probably again in March, and to attend if possible.This year in addition to the annual meeting to be held in November, we havescheduled a picnic in August for joint enjoyment. If your lodge is participating ormeeting with a Prince Hall group, I would appreciate it if you would write or emailme with the details. In my report next year, I would like to include a summary of suchactivities.Fraternally submittedGeorge A. Wallinger, PGM, ChairmanMurry J. House, PMNorman M. Marcus, PMRoger L.
