<strong>GRAND</strong> <strong>LODGE</strong> PLANNING COMMITTEE REPORTTo the Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wisconsin</strong>;Our charge this year was to prepare a Friends Program planning kit that can beused by the lodges to plan their upcoming friends events and to that end we havedeveloped a folder which all the Grand Lodge <strong>of</strong>ficers have a copy <strong>of</strong>. In it are preplanning,planning and delegation ideas. It is basically an idea book. With thepermission <strong>of</strong> the Grand Lodge <strong>of</strong> Indiana and at last year’s Grand Lodge we saw theDVD <strong>of</strong> their young man who talked <strong>of</strong> Masonry. We got their permission toduplicate that and we now have a DVD. Again, all Grand Lodge <strong>of</strong>ficers have that.Should you want to plan a friend’s night, contact any one <strong>of</strong> us and we will be happyto help out. If you want to get a copy <strong>of</strong> the book, call the Grand Lodge <strong>of</strong>fice and theywill send one or contact your District Deputy and he will arrange to get them for yourarea. With that I move for the adoption <strong>of</strong> this report.Report accepted.Respectfully submitted,Joseph B Harker, ChairmanUNITED MASONIC BOARD FOR DeMOLAY REPORTRobert E. Lijewski, Executive Officer, <strong>Wisconsin</strong> DeMolay;“To the Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wisconsin</strong>,”“As is the custom <strong>of</strong> all committees appointed by the presiding <strong>of</strong>ficer <strong>of</strong> anyMasonic body, herewith is the Annual Report <strong>of</strong> the United Masonic Board forDeMolay in <strong>Wisconsin</strong> for the Grand Masonic year June 1, 2005 to May 31, 2006. Thisreport is being written to satisfy all bodies <strong>of</strong> the Masonic fraternity within <strong>Wisconsin</strong>.”The United Masonic Board for DeMolay in <strong>Wisconsin</strong> (UMB) held it’s first meetingon December 17, 2005 (and according to the secretary’s minutes, the first in almostten years). This board is responsible for overseeing the activities and finances <strong>of</strong> theOrder <strong>of</strong> DeMolay in <strong>Wisconsin</strong>.”The UMB is composed <strong>of</strong> thirteen Directors as follows:• The Executive Officer <strong>of</strong> the Order <strong>of</strong> DeMolay in <strong>Wisconsin</strong> and his Deputy.• Two Directors appointed by the Grand Master <strong>of</strong> the Grand Lodge F.& A.M.<strong>of</strong> <strong>Wisconsin</strong>• One Director appointed by the Grand High Priest <strong>of</strong> the Grand Chapter <strong>of</strong>RAM <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wisconsin</strong>• One Director appointed by the Illus. Grand Master <strong>of</strong> Grand Council <strong>of</strong> RSM<strong>of</strong> <strong>Wisconsin</strong>• One Director appointed by the Grand Commander <strong>of</strong> the GCKT <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wisconsin</strong>• One Director appointed by the Deputy for WI <strong>of</strong> the Supreme Council AASRfor the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction <strong>of</strong> the US• One Director appointed by the Potentate <strong>of</strong> Tripoli Temple AAONMS• One Director appointed by the Potentate <strong>of</strong> Zor Temple AAONMS• One Director appointed by the Potentate <strong>of</strong> Beja Temple AAONMS94
• Two Ex-<strong>of</strong>ficio Directors to be appointed by the UMB to serve as the Secretaryand TreasurerWe are pleased to report that this board is now meeting as scheduled per the UMBby-laws.”To those who through the years have supported the order <strong>of</strong> DeMolay in <strong>Wisconsin</strong>,a most heartfelt thank you! But the work is not finished! We need your continuedsupport, both financially and as Masons assisting as “Dad” advisors to the variouschapters in the state. If you know <strong>of</strong> any young men who could and would like tobecome a member <strong>of</strong> the Order <strong>of</strong> DeMolay, don’t be afraid to encourage them, andthen encourage your lodge to become active in sponsoring a chapter <strong>of</strong> the Order <strong>of</strong>DeMolay or in starting a new Chapter.”It has been remarked that sometime in their lives, many <strong>of</strong> those who were members<strong>of</strong> the Order <strong>of</strong> DeMolay will embrace the Masonic Fraternity. As examples, since1990, thirteen <strong>of</strong> the sixteen members who were the State Master Councilor havebecome Master Masons, and in the past few years, most have become members <strong>of</strong> theMasonic Fraternity while serving as the State Master Councilor. We are also seeingmore <strong>of</strong> the general DeMolay population joining the Masonic Lodge, when theybecome age eligible, sponsoring their DeMolay Chapter. These young men are trulythe future <strong>of</strong> our Masonic Fraternity.”We close this report with a quote from one <strong>of</strong> our Masonic Presidents, FranklinDelano Roosevelt, ‘we cannot always build the future for our youth, but WE can buildour youth for the future.’”Fraternally submitted,Robert E. Lijewski, Executive Officer, <strong>Wisconsin</strong> DeMolayJames O. Myrhum, President, UMB for DeMolay in <strong>Wisconsin</strong>DeMOLAY REPORT“Most Worshipful Grand Master and members <strong>of</strong> the Grand Lodge <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wisconsin</strong>.I am Robert Lijewski, a member <strong>of</strong> Excelsior Lodge No. 175 and the Executive Officer<strong>of</strong> <strong>Wisconsin</strong> DeMolay.”I am before you today to advise you <strong>of</strong> an investment for your lodge. The gains fromthis investment may take as long as six years, but it is well worth the wait. For$100your lodge can sponsor a new DeMolay Chapter.”DeMolay is for young men between the ages <strong>of</strong> 12 and 21. While in DeMolay, theseyoung men learn planning, speaking and leadership skills. They are responsible forthe success <strong>of</strong> their Chapter. While doing this, they are learning the skills necessaryto be a success in their adult lives.”I cannot guarantee that every young man who joins DeMolay will become a MasterMason. However, these young men meet in our Masonic temples and witness firsthand the good works that a lodge can do. They appreciate the time and effort theMaster Masons on their Advisory Council give to them.”DeMolay has seven cardinal virtues that are instilled into these young men. Theyare Love <strong>of</strong> Parents, Reverence, Courtesy, Comradeship, Fidelity, Cleanliness, and95
