Grand Master’s Message
Greetings Brothers,
It is hard to believe that it is already September and our Annual Grand Lodge ses-
sion will be here before we know it. Where has this year gone? There have been
many questions and concerns about holding our Annual Grand Communication in
October. Many jurisdictions have either cancelled or postponed their Grand Com-
munications. Due to the circumstances and the uncertainty of the months ahead,
the plan going forward is to have a one-day Grand Communication Session at the
Galt House scheduled for Monday, October 19, 2020 pending approval from the
delegates. Registration will be on Sunday, October 18, 2020 and the morning of
Monday, October 19, 2020. With the current restrictions and mandates in place,
we will be unable to hold the session at levels that we have been accustomed to in
the past.
At the present time, due to the health risks associated with COVID-19, attendance
will be limited to elected and appointed Grand Lodge Officers, Past Grand Mas-
ters, DDGM’s and one delegate from each subordinate Lodge and other essen-
tial members needed to conduct the business of the annual session, including the
election. Due to limited capacity, the Ritual Competition scheduled for Sunday,
Geary F. Laird October 18, 2020 will be cancelled. It is of utmost importance that each lodge has

Many times, I have expressed my passion for our ritual in
Freemasonry and after having attended the Ritual Competi-
tions in August, it was a pleasure to see others who had that
same passion. Masonry teaches many lessons which need to
be exemplified in our everyday lives. Now more than ever, Passionate People INSPIRING LIVES

NEW TEMPLE DEDICATED IN 1931
About 1900, provisions were made to accumulate a fund for use in
building a new Scottish Rite Temple in Louisville, Ky. This fund in-
creased slowly but surely until 1930,
when it was thought that a Scottish Rite
Temple could be erected. Accordingly,
plans were drawn up and bids called for,
and the Temple was completed and dedi-
cated in 1931. Not only was the building
and equipment entirely paid for when it
was dedicated, but some $200,000 re-
mained in the treasury of the Scottish
Rite bodies in Louisville.
The erection and management of the new Scottish Rite Temple in
Louisville were largely due to the energy and influence of Brother
Isaac T. Woodson, 33°, who was Grand Master of the Grand Consis-
tory at that time. Ten years later, on January 1, 1940, Brother John
H. Cowles attended a memorial service for Brother Woodson in the
Scottish Rite Temple at Louisville.
The “Blue Room” was planned to be a place for a lodge room for
Louisville Lodge No. 400, Daylight Lodge No. 760, and as a meeting
room for Daniel Boone Chapter, Order of DeMolay for Boys. It was
also to be used as an assembly room and classroom for members of the
Reunion Classes of the Scottish Rite.September 2020 Masonic Home Journal Page 11
