November 12, 2020 is the next YB open meeting!! Zoom. 7PM It will be hosted by brother Ben Barker. Our NG sister Edna will be leading the meeting. Please mark your calendars. ... Let others know. Some don’t use FB. We will invite a few state leaders so we can ask questions about the status of some lodges, etc. Some lodges are physically meeting. Some have conducted degrees. Some lodges have been having smaller outdoor events and bbq’s. Others have conducted business and other ceremonies online. Right now, San Francisco County still has restrictions in place for our kind of organization. About the closest we could conduct a meeting, if it was educational and we would be limited to 14 people, with masks and distancing. However, we could also place a computer inside the meeting and add others. That is an option. Mark your calendars. Your newsletter has been mailed. Expect it in the mail.
