Dear Brethren All, Many thanks to all of you who attended the Half Annual Communication! YOUR attendance made it that little bit more special! The Empty Chair Ceremony, we carried out for the 100 years memorial of the Armistice, remembering all of the fallen, from which ever Country or Creed, was well received. Again, thank YOU!

Keys of Münster 881 are set to have their first meeting in October after handing in their Warrant in December 2017. The Warrant will be returned over before the meeting opens. I am sure we all wish them the very best of fortune!

Grand Lodge will be donating funds to assist Medecins sans frontieres / Ärzte ohne Grenzen Doctors who are assisting resident Doctors in Rafina to treat those who suffered burns during the recent Fires. If you would like to support our efforts, please contact your Lodge Secretary or Charity Steward, or simply transfer Funds to the Grand Lodge Charity Account stating “Fire victims in Greece”. THANKS IN AVDANCE!

Great News! The reigning Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master of the United Grand Lodges of Germany, Christoph Bosbach and Bernd Brauer, have been nominated unanimously by the Senate to remain in office for a further Term. The Vote will take place at the Konvent in Berlin in October, and I hope all Lodges have registered their representative to vote!
