Brothers of Blaine C. Clay,

Good afternoon and I hope that this day finds you well. Briefly I would like to inform the craft about our return to meeting and the precautions that are being made to make this as safe as possible. I have been instructed to begin holding meetings again this Saturday.

First, as of the writing of this communication we have been green lit to return to meeting with a few restrictions. They are as follows:

1. Physical distanced seating must be managed.
2. Masks are to be worn by 100% of brothers present 100% of the time.
3. Opening and closing is to be altered to comply with the distancing mandate.

In an effort to be safer we have set up a table in the lobby which will contain face masks, hand sanitizer, and an infrared thermometer. The Tyler will have the job of ensuring that temperatures are checked, and masks are worn before entry. In addition to this the lodge has been thoroughly cleaned and all knobs and commonly touched items have been cleaned with disinfectants. In the area of comfort, it has been decided to relax the dress code for meetings temporarily. Tennis shoes, jeans, and a polo styled shirt are acceptable for now.

It must be noted that these are the very few things that we can control, but with the recent spiking of cases in this parish it may be better for some of our members to stay at home. If you have preexisting conditions or are feeling under the weather, please stay home to minimize risks to yourself and others. No one will be summoned to attend any of these meetings. I will continue to send out updates as I can.

From the Desk of the Worshipful Master,

Troy J. Welch
