This is my 23rd year as the Official International D.A.R.E. Safety & Self-esteem Buddy. I could not think of a better way to 🥳 celebrate that milestone than to be asked to closeout out this year’s Training Conference! D.A.R.E. Officers, be sure to register on-line (again, it’s FREE) for the Conference AND my Keynote Presentation - which will include a “live” Q&A afterwards.

From the Grand Master:

Dear Brothers All:

The Grand Lodge of Indiana had been closely monitoring the quickly changing developments related to the pandemic outbreak of Corona Virus (Covid-19). We have been observing the suggestions and directives of the World Health Organization and are now in consideration of our Members and their families I am suspending all Masonic activities until the end of April. This included all Area Conferences, Treasurer and Secretary Conferences, rededications, dedications and Lodge meetings. Memorial services should be done and attended as is necessary and appropriate per the Worshipful Master.

During this time the Worshipful Master and the Lodge will not be penalized for not having a meeting, but many things can still be accomplished as far as the business side is such as Annual Reports and the Grand Master’s Award are concerned. The officers should communicate and do any business as necessary through any means possible. The Annual Communication registration and event on May 19, 2020 will continue as planned.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call or contact myself, Richard J. Elman, the Grand Secretary or the Grand Lodge office. This is not a time to panic but is a time to be vigilant about the health and safety of you, your family and your Lodge Members. Most importantly, remember your Masonic vows and support your Brothers and their families in the spirit of Freemasonry through this unprecedented situation.

We will continue with updates as they become available and hope to do so weekly. Stay health my Brother and God Bless!!

Sincerely and fraternally,

Kenneth Roy, Jr.

Grand Master

Shelby Lodge #28 has been very busy.

This past Tuesday evening, we passed a Brother to the degree of Fellowcraft. It was a great evening. We were assisted in the work by brothers from Lynnhurst #723, Jubillee #746, Waldron #217, Keystone #251, West Newton #707, Greensburg #36, Broad Ripple #643 and Englewood #715. A great time was had by all and the work was outstanding. Dinner was provided by Naamah chapter #73, O.E.S.

We recently lost brother Ray Hartman, AWG. A Masonic memorial service was not requested by the family.

We also began in May to mail Masonic birthday cards. 12 cards were mailed to brothers raised in the month of May. We received a call early Monday morning from the wife of Brother William A. Lee, AWG of Malvern, PA. She informed me that Brother Lee passed away on March 29th. Brother Lee had lived in that area for a number of years.

We will have more degree work coming very soon.

As a reminder, the normal date for the next stated meeting falls on the 4th of July. The stated meeting will be held on July 11th per the lodge bylaws.

We are making progress here at Shelby #28! The new sidewalk has been poured, making our building more accessible to our members and the Eastern Star.
