Grand Lecturer’s Report – 2008 I like to always begin by thanking people first and today is no exception. I would like to thank our Most Excellent Grand High Priest for appointing me to this position for the capitular year 2008. Also all of those who may have had a hand in recommending me to this position. I would be very remiss if I didn’t thank a certain group of individuals who have already been recognized this morning, but none the less need to be recognized again for their hard work and dedication in keeping our ritual up to the standards that it should be. I would like to take this time to again thank our Assistant Grand Lecturers for the work that they are doing out in the hinderlands to make sure this is done. So thank you fellows, you have done a great job for me and for our Grand High Priest. It has been my privilege to serve this Grand Chapter as Grand Lecturer for the 2008- 2009 Capitular Year. In my capacity as Grand Lecturer, I conducted 21 conventions across our State. In each case I was warmly received by the District, with a level of hospitality and courtesy I am truly thankful for. The continuing emphasis on the Mark Master Mason degree in 2008 seems to have been very beneficial, and the program was warmly received with enthusiastic participation by many Companions. In 2008, a new award for Chapter participation in Grand Lecturer’s conventions was created by our Grand High Priest. This award has served a two-fold purpose. It has become firstly, a catalyst for increasing attendance at conventions (this year we will award five of them to deserving Chapters) and secondly, a fit way to continue to honor one of our own for his decades of service to our Grand Chapter and the Masonic Fraternity. Hence the creation of the Hobert C. Cook award. I ask our Grand High Priest and our Grand Lecturer Emeritus, R.E. Hobert Cook to join me at the foot of the dais to present the inaugural set of these awards. Hobert C. Cook Award Recipients Bolivar Chapter #280 - 28th Capitular District Warrensburg Chapter #325 - 14th Capitular District Latham Chapter #168 - 12th Capitular District Gowanda Chapter #136 - 32nd Capitular District Bayview-Flatbush Chapter #298 - 2nd Capitular District Thank you, ME Grand High Priest and RE Hobert C. Cook. As a reminder, these awards are being presented to Chapters that had their HP, K, S, CH, PS, and RAC all present at one of my conventions this past year. Also, our GHP-elect has given his blessing to continuing this award for the 2009 Capitular year. Several companions have requested, and the GHP-elect and I agree wholeheartedly, that our convention program for this coming year should be any Royal Arch ritual topic that a District or Districts wish to have presented. Our feeling is that each District or set of Districts should know best what is needed. The default, if no specific topic is chosen by a District or set of Districts and then communicated to me in a timely fashion, will be the second section of the Most Excellent Master degree. The coming Capitular year will be a difficult one for me as your Grand Lecturer. In 2008, I encountered what could best be described as employment difficulties. As I mentioned in several of my conventions, I had become a substitute teacher (and later a teaching assistant) at our local school; the TA job was one which I expected to hold for the long term. Prior to and during my school employment, I was able to complete many conventions. The Lord has proven over and over to me that He works in mysterious ways. So it goes for my employment. I very recently have been reinstated into New York State Civil Service and 2009 (33)
