Dear Honored Ladies and Sir Knights,
To protect the health and welfare of each member from all jurisdictions, Supreme Council Assembly is suspended until July 4-8, 2021.
As we face these uncertain times, we know the threat is real, we have been given clear, scientifically based orders. Wash your hands, wipe down surfaces, social distancing, remain in your own living space, go out only if necessary.
There’s no “playbook” for leadership when things get tough, and there’s certainly no playbook for what to do in the face of a 21st Century pandemic. We are leading by what is best for the members currently, along with other Masonic Organizations we are unable to follow our Bylaws and Rules and Regulations because of time and date restrictions along with the inability to meet in person to take care of matters. I assure you that we are including our Jurisprudence committee and members of any effected committees along with the Grand Elected and Grand Appointed Officers that need to be equally involved in any decisions that must be made.
As we are unable to meet in the month of May, there will not be memorial ceremonies held at the subordinate courts. Those who have gone on before us will be remembered at our next Grand Court Session and will always remain sweet in our memory.
At a time like this, we all need to be there for each other. We want you to know that we are here for you anytime, and we want nothing more than for you to take care of yourself, and your family.
On behalf of S.K. Jim and myself, please stay safe and we'll reconnect again soon.
One of the lessons I have had to learn the hard way is if you refuse to be flexible, you can become broken.
By the end of this I may look more like Gumby.
We are still unaware of when we may be able to meet again in person, with flexibility in mind we will continue to make plans for Installation of officers, End of year reports and everyday business of our Order.
We thank each one of you for your patience and understanding in these difficult matters and we understand this is not how it's always been done. We will try to uphold the traditions of Colorado Grand Court to the best of our abilities. We are learning every day that we may need to change dates of meetings and functions to ensure the safety of everyone.
