REMARKS ON BEHALF OF THE PAST GRAND MASTERS

M.W. Michael A. DeWolf, Past Grand Master (2004) and Grand Secretary:

“Most Worshipful Grand Master, Distinguished East and Brethren all, thankyou for the opportunity to bring greetings and some reflections on behalf of the PastGrand Masters of the state of Wisconsin. In my relatively short Masonic life of 25years I have had the opportunity to have known 36 of the Past Grand Master whohave proceeded me in office, in more recent times five Past Grand Masters who havefollowed me and now you, Grand Master, who will soon come and join the ranks ofthe Past Grand Masters of this great jurisdiction. These men constitute a brilliantgalaxy of Masonic light. They are all skilled craftsmen, they have performed theirwork well. Each has brought to this jurisdiction a unique set of working tools. Ilook upon these shining lights and I am reminded of why I became a member of

8

this fraternity. Here in the company of these brethren, and all of you I continue tocome to the altar of the Supreme Architect of the Universe whereas it is the customof our craft throughout the world we pray to be of one mind and to learn to loveone another. It is here, my brothers, that we have built our fraternal home. You maywell ask, what is it we receive from entering this home? It is the associations thatwe make, for each and every one of you shines the light of brotherly love, relief andtruth and it is here that all distinctions are lost and we meet on the level. It is herethat our younger brethren learn to appreciate the lessons of our craft and it is herethat the light of true friendship burns warmest and brightest. It is here my broth-ers where we pledge and we reaffirm our obligations of Freemasonry to each other.I hope I have given you the honest sentiments of the Past Grand Masters presentand absent, whose earnest hope is that when the record is closed we may have beenfound to have done something to have made the world better for having lived in itand that we have left the craft a little bit better for having enjoyed so much greatfraternal affection.”

REMARKS ON BEHALF OF DISTINGUISHED GUESTS

M.W. Brother Craig C. Hummel, Grand Master of Iowa;

“To the Most Worshipful Grand Master, and the other Most Worshipfuls, RightWorshipfuls and brethren all, it gives me a great deal of pleasure to stand beforeyou and visit the great Grand Lodge of Wisconsin. I want to thank you for all of thedignities and courtesies that you have shown us thus far and will continue to. Ithas been a great time so far.

We are taught in Masonry that there are three stages of man; youth, manhoodand age. In addition to that there are basically four stages of learning. First we

9

see how something is done, then we learn how to do it and then we do it and thefourth stage is teaching others how to do it. What I have talked about in Iowa thisyear has been the Masonic journey, because Masonry, like life, is not a destination,it’s a journey. As Most Worshipful Craig moves on to a different leg of his journeyafter this Grand Session and Most Worshipful Joe moves on to a different one, wecontinue that journey. As we are learning and doing now Craig will move on tothe mentoring and teaching part of it for Grand Lodge and I will be joining himin about four months. It is just as vital that you continue to be active in teachingas you have been in doing.

Thank you again all very much for having us here and we look forward to therest of the Annual Communication.”

FRATERNAL RELATIONS WITH PRINCE HALLCOMMITTEE REPORT

To The Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Wisconsin:

The Grand Lodge F. & A. M. of Wisconsin and the Most Worshipful Prince HallGrand Lodge of Wisconsin, Inc. collaborated in two meeting events during thisMasonic year, a dinner with the committees of both Grand Lodges and their guests,as well as the combined table lodge. These meetings alternate hosts each year, andthe Prince Hall Grand Lodge was the host this year. The co-chairs for the eventswere RWSGW Charles Currie of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge and me.

This year’s committee dinner occurred at the Doubletree Hotel in downtownMilwaukee on Friday, November 13, 2009.A fine social time and dinner was enjoyedby all with about 22 Brothers and 15 ladies in attendance. Following the dinnerthe men adjourned to an adjacent room where MWGMs Humphrey and Campbellpresided over the meeting.The intent of the meeting was to discuss topics of mutualinterest and continue the fellowship that has led to true friendships developed overthe years of these meetings. A key topic of discussion focused on public education,and how critical a quality education continues to be for our youth, on which thefuture of Masonry depends. Another discussion ensued on the Public Seminars onMasonry that were underway which caused further collaboration and agreementon an additional co-hosted seminar that occurred in Brookfield on April 17th, 2010at the Sheraton Inn.

On Wednesday, March 31, 2010, the two Masonic jurisdictions came togetherto celebrate our 7th combined Table Lodge, held at the Prince Hall Grand Lodgebuilding in Milwaukee. As in previous years, we heavily promoted the event in theWisconsin Masonic Journal and warned the brethren to get reservations in early,especially since the venue size limited us to 125 brothers. The event was sold outapproximately 2 weeks in advance, with confirmations communicated to all. Thetotal in attendance from both jurisdictions was about 250 Masons, with a fewEAs / FCs present. This event gains momentum each and every year, and hasbecome one of the key “must attend” events by many Masons. Plans are alreadyunderway for next year’s combined Table Lodge, to be hosted by the Grand Lodgeof Wisconsin on Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Watch for articles in the WisconsinMasonic Journal early in the 2011 calendar year for details and the reservationcoupon. As always for this event, get your reservations in early, as they will belimited to a first-come, first-served basis.

10

We thank everyone who has served on both jurisdiction’s committees and thosewho helped with the events. It has been a pleasure to serve the brethren as theGLoW committee chairman this year.

Robert C. Strader, WDDGM, Chairman

It is my pleasure to give the following report from the Committee on MasonicJurisprudence.

Chapter 29.03 requires the Chairman of the Committee to call a meeting of allmembers of the Committee prior to the opening of the Annual Grand Lodge Com-munication,toconsider,reviewandreport theirfindingsandrecommendationsonallmatters referred to them by the Grand Master.We held that meeting, in conjunctionwith the Resolutions Committee and the Committee on Appeals and Grievances.

RESOLUTION NO. 09-2010, to remit dues and per capita tax for active dutymilitary personnel serving in a war zone; said Resolution is NOT approved as toform and legality.

Note: this resolution is inconsistent with established MasonicJurisprudence. No funding is available for the proposed changes. It again infringeson the prerogatives of the Grand Master to fund and operate the Grand Lodge.

EDICTS

Pursuant to Code Section 2.05, an Edict is (1) a judicial determination and not alegislative action of the Grand Lodge; (2) an approved decision of as Grand Master,but such decision shall apply only to the instant case and shall not become a partof the Masonic code.

This Edict is approved as to form and legality.

The two Edicts are effective until the close of the 2010 Annual Communication.

16

a Grand Master, prior to its presentation to the Grand Lodge at the annual com-munication. A decision of a Grand Master is valid and controlling unless and untildisapproved by the Grand Lodge at the annual communication.

OTHER MATTERS

The Jurisprudence Committee gave advice to the Grand Master during the year.This included advice regarding the Wisconsin Benevolent Activities Board decisionto amend the By-Laws of the Wisconsin Masonic Home Inc. The Chair constituteda sub-committee consisting of Past Grand Masters Charles White and Stephen D.Willet and James H. Olson. We determined to retain outside counsel for tax andcorporate governance advice. Outside counsel and the sub-committee determinedthere is no legal impediment to the by-law amendments, which have subsequentlybeen adopted.The by-law amendments to the Wisconsin Masonic Home Inc., amongother things,make the Grand Master of Masons inWisconsin a member of theWMHBoard, and specifically make the Grand Master chair of the WMH Board of Direc-tors. The amendments also provide that only the Wisconsin Benevolent ActivitiesBoard may amend the WMH Inc. by-laws.

JUNIOR GRAND WARDEN’S REPORT

To The Grand Lodge Free & Accepted Masons of Wisconsin;

My Brothers;

I found having been elected your Junior Grand Warden to be a learning, time-demanding and emotional experience. I have loved every minute representing youto the best of my ability. I will have traveled approximately 16,000 miles, attending208 Masonic or Masonic Youth Events and Committee Meetings.

It has been a pleasure representing you, the Grand Master and the Grand Of-ficers at various functions including the Grand Lodge of Ohio. The Junior GrandWarden serves the Craft on the following committees:

18

• Grand Lodge Executive Committee• Grand Lodge Expenditures Committee• Grand Lodge Nominating Committee• Wisconsin Benevolent Activities Board – Voting Member• Masonic Home Board – GL Liaison - Voting• Fraternal Relations with Prince Hall• WI Masonic Foundation – GL Liaison -Voting• Youth Funding - Chairman• United Masonic Board for DeMolay• Grand Lodge Liaison to all Youth Groups• Van Brunt Committee

As the Junior Grand Warden I am your representative to the Masonic YouthOrganizations. I have attended The Grand Sessions of Job’s Daughters, DeMolayand Rainbow for Girls. Many receptions and award nights have been attended. Mymajor impressions from these Groups are,

1. How proud these young people are of their Masonic Heritage2. How committed the Youth and their Advisors are to the organization.3. How they must (as do we) need to find qualified people to replace themselves

for the future of Free Masonry and its Youth Organizations.

I would like to share a disappointment with you. I would hope that in the futurethe Junior Wardens of all Lodges look at one of the duties they are to discharge.TheMasonic Code of Wisconsin (57.03B) states: “The Junior Warden of each constituentlodge shall act as liaison between his lodge and any related youth groups. He shallmake periodic reports to the Junior Grand Warden and to his Worshipful Master,and keep them informed of his activities.”

This year I have received reports from:• Cassia Lodge #167 – Plymouth WI. – Brother John Dorsey

All lodges support Masonic Youth Organizations financially through the MasonicYouth Fund. I encourage all Lodges to support youth in their community throughscholarships and sponsorship of local youth events. More importantly we shouldsupport local Masonic Youth Groups. If there is interest in starting a Job’s Daugh-ters Bethel, a DeMolay Chapter or a Rainbow for Girls Assembly please contactthe Junior Grand Warden.

Thank you for this opportunity to serve the craft and if called, I will continue todo so to the best of my ability.

for is to honor the Grand Master and his lady for all of the time and talents theyexpend on behalf of the brethren during the year. Since they are both very dedicatedto the Masonic youth groups, especially DeMolay, the Grand Lodge officers thankedthem with a gift for their son’s DeMolay Chapter in West Bend. They presentedthem with a banner and some other items for their meetings and ceremonies. Theofficers also donated a monetary amount to the Wisconsin Masonic Home’s “Caringto Grow” campaign in his honor. William Barnes, Director of Development of theWisconsin Masonic Charities then presented a plaque to Grand Master Campbell.

DISTRICT DEPUTy CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Worshipful David E Tainter, Deputy, District No. 10;

Most Worshipful Grand Master and Brothers All-

“It is my honor to address you on behalf of the District Deputies. It is my pleasureto state as chair of the District Deputies that I am very proud of the work theyhave all done. They have been out there serving the craft. That is why we are allhere today. There is no great glory in being a District Deputy. Really it is a lot ofwork. However, it can also be very rewarding through the many friendships thatare formed as we travel from lodge to lodge.”

“As you all know the District Deputies have assumed some new duties. I am refer-ring to the Lodge Inspections to be done by the District Deputies. There is nothingin the inspection that isn’t already part of what should be done in your lodge. Reallyvery simple things like having the treasurer’s report in the minutes? Is your lodgeusing MORI? Do your trustees meet and give reports at the meetings? Do you havea copy of your bylaws available and are they signed by every new Master Mason?The purpose of the inspection is not to spy on your lodge. Rather to make sure weare able to continue our not for profit status with the government. There are someout there who would like to see the lodges taxed on their property. Many lodges inWisconsin could not afford to keep their building if that was the case.”

“How many of those in attendance attended at least one district meeting or Schoolof Instruction in the last 12 months? Can I see a show of hands? Your deputiesand lecturers work very hard to put together 2 district meetings and your schoolsevery year. We don’t do this for fun or just because we enjoy them. They are heldto help us and our lodges. Yes, we try to have some fun but really they are done foryou. Please encourage all you members to attend the District meetings and schools,not just the Officers.”

“Of Course, attending the district meetings and schools of instruction are greatways to earn points for the Lodge Excellence Award. This year I am proud to saythat 105 lodges are earning their Lodge Excellence Awards. If you didn’t fill outyour application, shame on you. It isn’t only about showing how good your lodge is…What it does is show that you and your lodge care about the fraternity and not justyour lodge. Seeing lodges earn the award is encouragement to other lodges. Maybethey didn’t have all the activities needed last year. But, maybe they see your lodgeget the award and perhaps that is just the spark they need to step it up a notch.”

“It is the intention of your District Deputies to review the Lodge Excellence

20

Award and make recommendation to modify certain sections for the purpose ofclarity and simplification.”

“Would all the Area Administrators, District Lecturers, and District Chaplainsthat are here today please rise. Brothers, these are brothers who have committedthemselves to helping the fraternity.”

“TheDistrictDeputies,AreaAdministrators,DistrictLecturers,DistrictChaplainsas well as all the Grand Lodge Officers are here to help. Help with degree work,help with social events, be a speaker for a friend’s night, or even just sit down anddiscuss Freemasonry and how to make your lodge grow when you have run outof ideas. Please keep your Area Administrators and you District Deputies on yourmailing lists and email lists. Let them know what is going on in your lodge.We can’tbe there if we don’t know what is happening. We all want to be there.”

“You know, that brother who sits in the East as the Most Worshipful GrandMaster is no different than you and I. He is our friend, our brother, and he is thereto serve the craft. I have to tell you, every Grand Master that I have ever knownhas served with all their heart.”

“Take advantage of your Area Administrators, District Deputies, and all of yourGrandLodgeOfficers.Wearehere toserve,giveusachance tobeapartofyour lodge.”

Sincerely & Fraternally,

Dave TainterDistrict Deputy #10

SENIOR GRAND WARDEN’S REPORT

To The Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of WI;

It was a great pleasure to be elected your Senior Grand Warden in June for the2009-2010 Masonic year. I thank each and every one of you for your continuedsupport. As the Senior Grand Warden I had the privilege to serve on the WisconsinMasonicBenevolentActivitiesBoard,TheWisconsinMasonicFoundationBoard,The

21

Wisconsin Masonic Home Board,The Soccer Foundation,The Executive Committee,The Expenditures Committee, The Nominations Committee, Fraternal Relationswith Prince Hall Committee and several other sub committees. It was a pleasureand an honor to work with the members of these boards and committees. I alwayscame away from our meetings energized and feeling that I had learned somethingnew. I attended most of the meetings and logged thousands of miles in doing so. Iwould like to thank the members of these boards and committees for all the timeand commitment they have shown and put forth.

As your Senior Grand Warden I had the pleasure to take part in numerousinstallation ceremonies throughout the state. I also took part in several degreesand lectures for our new brothers. I made it a point to travel to lodges I had neverbeen to and attend their meetings. Many nights I would show up and there wasdegree work scheduled, which was a wonderful thing. I was active on the soccercommittee and attended the soccer banquet and opening ceremonies. I took partin several ceremonies for corner stones, re-consecration of lodges, ground breaking,etc. I traveled to District Meetings, Schools of Instruction, breakfasts, dinners andseveral special lodge functions and fundraisers. I was the guest speaker at several50 plus year celebrations and friend’s nights.These are some of the greatest honorsa Grand Lodge Officer has.

I would like to take this time to thank you all for the opportunity to serve youas the Senior Grand Warden for Wisconsin. Everywhere I traveled the hospitalityand friendship extended to me was overwhelming. As I close out the year, I havebeen met with a real challenge with the passing of my mother, Donna White. Itwas at this time that I really felt the tenants of our Fraternity shine brightly. TheBrotherly love and compassion shown during this time through phone calls, cards,and prayers really helped me deal with this unfortunate event. I thank you all.

DEPUTy GRAND MASTER’S REPORT

To The Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Wisconsin:

Elected and installed as Deputy Grand Master, it became my duty throughoutthe year to serve on the Wisconsin Masonic Benevolent Activities Board,WisconsinMasonic Home Board, and several sub-committees of these boards. I also servedon several committees of our Grand Lodge. I attended all of the board meetingsand the majority of the committee meetings called (12-15 board meetings and 20committee meetings) except when they conflicted with each other. It is indeed apleasure to work with the many fine people who serve on these boards and com-mittees. We must all thank each of them for their attendance, dedicated work andthe guidance they provide to these boards and committees.

As a Grand Lodge Officer I attended the annual communications of Prince HallGrand Lodge of Wisconsin and the Grand Lodge of New Jersey. It was a pleasureto be in attendance during the Annual Sessions of the Supreme Council AASR,

22

NMJ, USA in Boston, MA in August. I attended the North American Conferenceof Grand Masters and Grand Secretaries. A part of the conference was to attendthe Centennial Celebration of our George Washington Masonic Memorial. It wasan honor to be in the presence of the Fredericksburg No. 4 Bible upon which Presi-dent Washington took his Masonic Obligations in 1752 and 1753. I was also in thepresences of Alexandria-Washington Lodge No. 22 Trowel and Potomac Lodge No.5’s Gavel both of which were used by Bro. Washington at the Cornerstone LayingCeremony of the United States Capitol on September 18, 1793. I attended the 7thannual Grand Lodge of Wisconsin and the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Wisconsincombined table lodge and Fraternal Relations with Prince Hall Committee fallmeeting. It was a pleasure to preside or assist in numerous Lodge installationceremonies. Installing four (4) and five (5) Lodges at the same time was a challengeand rewarding experience. I assisted at several rededication ceremonies. Assist-ing in the presentations of Masonic Service anniversary certificates is extremelygratifying and I had the privilege of presenting several this year. I attended districtmeetings,Schools of Instructions,degrees,and Lodge stated meetings too numerousto count. I attended several York Rite, Scottish Rite, Shrine and other appendantbody meetings, functions or events throughout the year. Should anyone wish adetailed list of my activities please contact me.

There are many administrative items that the Deputy Grand Master must beinvolved with each year. One of which is our annual budget. Your ExpendituresCommittee has spent many hours addressing the manor in which this budget isdeveloped and ultimately how it is presented to the craft. The practice has been todevelop a budget by reviewing the several budgets of previous years. This year wehave built the budget by reviewing the “actual” audited expense figures of thoseprevious years and projected expenses for the current year. We believe that thisprovides a true picture of your Grand lodge operations. Another item that yourDeputy Grand Master must do is to lead the Nominations Committee in assemblinga corps of Grand Lodge Officers, Board and Committee Members. There are nearly150 nominations, appointments or reappointments that must consider each year.We have many very highly qualified members who will make a significant contri-bution to the position for which they have been selected. I would like to encourageour MORI users to take greater care when inputting data into MORI. SpecificallyI would ask that you always include your member’s occupation followed by (Ret) ifthey are retired from that occupation.Also,please confirm their phone numbers andE-mail addresses regularly. The Executive Committee met and dealt with issuesseveral times this current term.Your Progressive Line Officers met monthly duringthe current Masonic year to work on coordination of opportunities and challengesthat will face our fraternity next year and the years to come. These meetings arepreparing your future Grand Lodge Executive Committee to best administer theaffairs of our Grand Lodge and local lodges.

I am very thankful for the opportunity to serve as your Deputy Grand Master.The feelings of friendship, morality, and brotherly love make my membership asa Master Mason and a Grand Lodge Officer very meaningful in my life. I am en-couraged by the attitudes of the members and officers of each and every one of ourWisconsin Masonic Lodges that I have visited this year.

GRAND MASTER CAMPBELL’S REPORT

Brethren,

A year ago I stated several objectives that I hoped to accomplish as Grand Mas-ter. I am pleased now to report to you on those objectives, my activities as GrandMaster, and to report to you on the state of the craft.

One of the objectives I had was to hold seminars on Freemasonry for the Public.A program I called “Taking Masonry to the People.” Originally, we had four datesscheduled, and these were assisted by our MW PGM J.B.Van Hollen.Thanks again,J.B. you were terrific. A fifth date was added after a Fraternal Relations meetingwith Prince Hall, where I was accompanied by the MW Bro. Frank J. Humphrey,Grand Master of the MW Prince Hall Grand Lodge of WI.

These seminars were promoted through an e-mail campaign and the GrandLodge website. An initial e-mailing of 45,000 was sent to a demographic audienceof Wisconsin residents age 18-45. Subsequent e-mails of 5,000 to 10,000 were sentto subsets based on local geography, for a total of 88,000 e-mails sent. Of those sent,about half reached the recipients and about half bounced. Even so, it representsperhaps the strongest effort to date to get Freemasonry in the eyes of the public.

All total we had 230 attend at the five seminars, about half of whom were alreadyMasons.And, of course, my primary objective for holding them was to inspire peopleto want to become a member. I am pleased to report to you that I averaged betterthan five petitions per seminar. A total of 27 petitions were handed to me directly,which I was extremely pleased to be able to distribute to 15 different lodges. Andfrom what I was told, at least that same number of petitions flowed into lodges inthe several weeks following the seminars. So, in all, the five seminars resulted inover 50 petitions into our lodges. While I would have liked that number to be evenhigher, I believe this has to be considered a success.

And judging by the degree work happening in our lodges,I believe it will be payingdividends for many months if not years to come. While we have not yet produceda net increase in membership, we are very, very close. I believe this will happen inthe next 1 to 3 years, and just think how we will all feel when we can once again saywe belong to this growing organization called Freemasonry. I included two graphsto illustrate exactly where we are with these numbers.

Another objective I had was to resurrect the Degree Competition. When menwho are performing degrees practice to be the absolute best there is, it attracts.Everybody wants to be associated with things that are perceived to be high quality.

24

I feel that periodically, perhaps every four years like the Olympics, every lodgeshould have an opportunity to put themselves up against every other lodge in thestate and earn recognition for performing our ritual at its highest level. If yourlodge is the best, I think you should have the chance to prove it.

I am extremely pleased to report that for the first time in 14 years, DegreeCompetition was back. A huge thank you goes out to our Grand Lecturer, Bro.Ken Gorgen, for all his hard work at coordinating all the details. A total of sevenlodges had pre-registered, and a total of four actually competed. The results willbe announced tomorrow.

As your incoming Grand Master, I declared that no lodge consolidations wouldoccur during my term. We’ve all seen it time and time again. A lodge on the declineor perhaps even dormant for 10, 20, and even 30 years all of a sudden blossomsback to vibrancy because of one key new member. One guy really can turn a lodgearound. I am extremely pleased to report to you that we started the year with 182degree-conferring lodges, and we ended the year with 182 degree-conferring lodges.

In fact, I’d go so far as to say that we have held steady or actually strengthenedevery lodge in the state except one. That one will be receiving special attention inthe ensuing year, but there were three lodges who were in the process of closingor consolidating who are now all in the process of conferring degrees on multiplecandidates.

I issued two decisions and one edict. My first decision was to formalize a positionon proper disposal of a white leathern apron found after a brother’s interment. Ifelt that an apron such as this should be treated with the same veneration given toa retired U.S. Flag, whose proper disposal is to be incinerated. My second decisionwas to formalize a process for lodges to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley legislation. Myedict was to have all lodges share in the liability portion of the blanket insurancepolicy, and thanks to the grueling work done by our Grand Secretary in evaluatingdifferent carriers and different policies, I believe that almost each of the lodges hereenjoyed a decrease in their rate as a result.

I had the unfortunate responsibility of issuing six suspensions during my term.Four were 60-day suspensions for negligence in complying with the Masonic Code,and two were indefinite suspensions for committing crimes against society.

A great deal of time and energy went into solidifying the relationship betweenthe management of the Wisconsin Masonic Home, Inc. and the management ofthe fraternity. The construction of the Rehab Center and the kick-off of the Car-ing to Grow Campaign gave us a unique opportunity. We worked out a consent feebased on the land under lease that will result in additional revenues to the GrandLodge to support future operations, and through the Benevolent Activities Board,we amended the By-Laws of the Home to assure that the Grand Master and theGrand Trustees would participate in future decisions related to the propertiesmanaged by the charity.

This is consistent with a pledge I made entering this term when I asserted toyou that I would do everything I could to keep Mason Woods in the fraternity aswell as to save Van Brunt Hall. As far as Mason Woods, I firmly believe it is a vitalcomponent to our charitable outreach to the community and not only should con-tinue to be supported, but augmented; perhaps with a pilot program of an emerg-

25

ing home-based healthcare component. As far as Van Brunt Hall, we made someserious progress this year.

Under the capable direction of MW PGM Bill Day who chaired the Ad-hoc Com-mittee forVan Brunt Hall Restoration,and with an incredible contribution from ourGrand Trustee Bruce Lasko, we completed the necessary pro-forma projections onentering into a business relationship with the owners of the Delafield Brewhaus inconverting Van Brunt Hall into a Banquet Hall and restaurant. Significant hurdlesstill need to be overcome. We still don’t have the finances needed to complete thebuilding’s renovation,andtheGrandTrusteesstillneedtoreachagreementsregard-ing the lease and title to the property. I do hope that those details can be workedout and that in the end, we find a new use for Van Brunt Hall.

Insupportingourcharities,I accompaniedourDevelopmentDirector,BillBarnes,in trips to Florida,Arizona, and Texas, in each location giving a briefing of Masonryin Wisconsin and requesting financial assistance to support the charities and theCaring to Grow campaign.

As Grand Master I put 42,000 miles on the car this year and made 216 dates. Iparticipated in 78 degrees and made 106 official lodge visits to 76 different lodges.I had the privilege of presiding over the installations of 26 lodges, twice installingfour lodges at a time. A copy of my itinerary follows this report.

The 34 Area Administrators I appointed made over 320 lodge meetings, oftenparticipating in the degrees and staying until the very end to even help clean up. Ihope we achieved something that I did not even intend going into the year. I hopewe have made it very clear to each and every lodge that the Grand Lodge Officersare truly here to help you in any way we can. This is not and never has been a “we”and “them” business. We are all in the boat rowing the same direction and as anofficer of the Grand Lodge, we desire to enhance your success in every way possible.

And this desire goes beyond the Grand Lodge officers, it extends to the staff inthe office.There is no way this fraternity could run without the willing and pleasantassistance of Cheryl, Jan, and Alicia; and also Erika in the Charities office. Theyreally will do just about anything for you guys.

There are two others who need to be mentioned here. Our Grand Treasurer,John Benedict, and our Grand Secretary Mike DeWolf. John had to learn a newsoftware program this year as well as conform to a revised structure for our finan-cial statements. Mike deserves far more credit for his contributions than we couldpossibly give him. I don’t mind saying that I don’t believe anybody could do thisjob as Grand Master without him. He spends countless numbers of hours on thephone, manages the Grand Lodge Office, handles the Grand Lodge website, andprovides sage and timely advice on a continual basis to the Grand Master. Mikewe are truly in your debt.

Finally, I want to leave you with this thought. Freemasonry is a spiritual orderthat serves to reinforce a man’s faith. I have had many occasions to discuss Ma-sonry with people and the one thing I tell them that I have come to recognize asthe strongest pull we have to attract them to this fraternity is this message. Whenthey understand that everything we do, all the time we give and all the charitableoutreach to our communities is because of a calling felt deeply in our hearts, it ringsconsistent with the very values they hold in their hearts, and they want to be a

26

part of it. For far too long we have shied away from proudly stating that this is whowe are. I hope to encourage you to never hesitate again to tell them exactly whowe are as Masons. We are a spiritual order that serves to reinforce a man’s faith.

The corps of Grand Lodge Officers who will continue to direct the affairs of thisGrand Lodge in the coming years are some of the finest men possibly assembled,and I look forward to the progress they will continue to make. Brethren, you havegiven me the privilege of shaping the attitudes and influencing the opinions regard-ing this fraternity throughout this state. It is a privilege that has been given to sofew, I want you to know that I will be eternally grateful. Hopefully you feel that Ihave represented you well.

Keep doing the Lord’s work – because you really are doing so.And may God blesseach and every one of you. Thank you very much.

APPEALS AND GRIEvANCES COMMITTEE REPORT

Steve Willett, PGM, Chairman:

“Most Worshipful Grand Master and Brothers all, my name is Stephen D. Willettand I am the chair of the Appeals and Grievances Committee for the Grand LodgeF & A.M. of Wisconsin. Others members of that committee are William D. Dyke,Travis Hand, James H. Olson, PGM and Steven R. Sorenson. The purpose of ourcommittee is to be just that we accept and review actions of the Grand Master andwe review expulsions and suspensions and edicts and decisions. For many years Ihave had the privilege to stand before you and indicate that happily we’ve had verylittle to do. Unfortunately this is not one of those years. We have reviewed, as theMostWorshipfulGrandMaster indicated,oneexpelledmemberandtwopermanentlysuspended members. We have reviewed those and we recommend the expulsion ofDavid C. Kaschel from the Grand Lodge F & AM of Wisconsin and also strip himof his membership from Baraboo Lodge No. 34.”

“The next action from the Grand Master was to permanently suspend MichaelK. Drout from Wisconsin Lodge No. 13. We have reviewed that decision and we de-termined that a permanent suspension is an expulsion and therefore we are goingto be recommending that Mr. Drout be expelled from our fraternity and from hismembership at Wisconsin Lodge No. 13.”

“The third action that the Grand Master took was a permanent suspension ofNicholas Wilson from Racine-Bell City Lodge No. 18. Once again we viewed thatpermanent suspension as the equivalent of an expulsion.We have treated it like suchand reporting to you our approval of it as an expulsion.

“Those are the three that we consider expulsions, we have reviewed the same andare recommending they be approved. As you have experienced in the past, I willseek an approval of my report and therefore its adoption and then these expulsionsbecome permanent.”

32

“The Grand Master has indicated that he also took administrative suspensionof four other Brother. Because they were all reinstated, we reviewed those suspen-sions and that activity and found it appropriate in his role as the Grand Master ofF & AM of Wisconsin. We approved those.

“All of the actions of the Grand Master are approved in that regard. As BrotherOlson reported, the Jurisprudence Committee reviewed the edicts and decisions.None of those were requested to be reviewed by the Appeals and Grievances Com-mittee and we did consult with the Jurisprudence Committee, meeting jointly toensure that those decision and edicts were appropriate. Based on the activity of thecommittee and on behalf of the committee, I move that my report be adopted andspread upon the proceedings.”

Respectfully submitted,

Stephen D. Willett, PGM, ChairmanWilliam D. DykeTravis M. Hand

2010. This Master Policy covers property, boiler, employee dishonesty, general li-ability, non-owned auto liability, fine arts, paraphernalia and other enhancementsspecifically designed to cover our fraternal exposure. Additionally, we carry a$10,000,000.00 Umbrella Policy, which covers all lodges in the Master Program.Annual insurance costs make up a large portion of lodge budgets and is of criticalconcern to all of us. We have managed to reduce premiums since 2005. I am verypleased to announce that we have completed negotiations with 7 insurance car-riers and have placed the business with The Spectrum Insurance Group. Thepolicy is underwritten by NSI a division of West Bend Insurance. NSI specializes incustomers such as the Grand Lodge of WI. Now here is the exciting news, we havenegotiated a reduction on overall premium of 26.6%, the coverage has increasedand here is the great part…our property deductable has been reduced from $5,000to $1,000, this my Brothers is a huge benefit to our lodges. Our representative fromSpectrum is Mr. Jesse Furrer he is very familiar with our business model and wasour representative prior to the sale of Wausau Signature Agency. Jesse is preparedto visit all the District Meetings to address any questions you may have.

Wisconsin Masonic CodeThe Wisconsin Masonic Code is the controlling document with which we govern

our Craft.The Code is available on our Web site at http://www.wisc-freemasonry.organd is available to download as a Word Document or in PDF form. Since the Codehas been converted to an electronic format one of the key features is the ability todo key word searches. We will continue to work to make this document as friendlyto use as possible.

EmailThe Grand Lodge Officers and the Grand Lodge,along with many lodges continue

to use this effective tool to communicate and it is becoming one of the most common

36

tools we use today. You can email directly to any one in the office: Jan Gorgen ourOffice Manager is jan@wisc-freemasonry.org, Alicia Darr our Bookkeeper is alica@wisc-freemasonry.org, Cheryl Martin our Receptionist is cheryl@wisc-freemasonry.org, and I can be reached at grandsecretary@wisc-freemasonry.org.

We encourage you to use this tool for the majority of your requests or processes.I want to remind each of the members and lodges that there are protocols thatshould still be followed for communicating within other grand jurisdictions. Allcorrespondence should still be sent through the Grand Secretary and I will thenforward it on to the respective recipient’s Grand Lodge. As our technology grows,we still have to maintain certain courtesies that are considered important to manyMasons and Grand Jurisdictions.

Grand Lodge Phone SystemOur Phone system was replaced last year and the new system has allowed us to

streamline our business and increase communication with the membership.DuringOffice hours the phone will continue to be answered by a ‘real’ person, after hoursyour call is routed to the proper voice mail.

MORI: The Masonic Online Registry InterfaceMORI has been rolled out to the lodges and has been very well accepted. On May

7th, 2010 we implemented Kase Manager. Kase Manager is a help desk softwareprogram that allows us to manage various day to day issues whether it be softwareor member related. Trouble Tickets are issued and tracked and resolution is easierto manage. I have worked with the developers of Kase Manager and WI is now abeta test site for the system, additionally, we are allowed to use the software at nocost to our Jurisdiction. If you need assistance or have support questions just sendan email to support@wisc-freemasonry.org.

District Secretary MeetingThis upcoming year it is my intention to hold District Secretary meetings in

conjunction with District Meeting.We have many new Secretaries around the stateand I want to make sure they have the tools necessary to do their job.

Office StaffI am very proud of the ladies of our Grand Lodge Office. Over the last year we

have had many new technological changes and each of them has met the challengespresented. Our service level to the Craft is exceptional and the members of thisJurisdiction are very fortunate to have a dedicated group of employees in their

37

Grand Lodge office. Jan Gorgen, Alicia Darr and Cheryl Martin manage your officeactivities on a daily basis. They all have Masonic ties and I believe it is more thanjust a job to them. They believe in what we as Freemasons do. All three of themare here this weekend and I would ask that you take a minute to meet them andthank them for all they do for our fraternity.

PersonalThis past year has been personally challenging for me. On behalf of my wife

Marilyn and myself I would like to personally thank the many lodges and Brethrenfrom WI and around the world for their prayers, calls, cards, flowers, and lettersof support. Your support has been overwhelming and I truly believe the power ofprayer has helped Marilyn survive some very dark times. Her health continues toimprove and for that we are very thankful. Thank you to all the Brethren.

ConclusionIt has been a great joy and pleasure to serve you the Freemasons of Wisconsin

this past year. To the Grand Master, Grand Lodge Officers, Members of the Boardsand Committees, Masters, and Secretaries of the lodges, I express my grateful ap-preciation to you for allowing me to give something back to our fraternity.

Respectfully Submitted,

Michael A. DeWolf, P.G.M.

GRAND TREASURER’S REPORT

To the Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Wisconsin:

Complying with Section 24.02 and 34.02 of the Wisconsin Masonic Code, Laws ofthe Grand Lodge, it is a privilege to submit the Grand Treasurer’s Annual Report.

As of May 10, 2010, all lodges with the exception of Manitowoc #65, and SaukPrairie #113, have submitted their Annual Financial Reports. All of these lodgeshave been sent written notices and have been contacted by the Grand Master asto their delinquencies.

There are currently 3,059 Perpetual Membership Plan participants of whom2,009 are living and active. The total PMP per capita funds received were $38,970.

The Auditors’ report will verify all receipts and disbursements and give an an-nual accounting of the existing condition of the funds of the Grand Lodge as ofApril 30, 2010, complying with the terms of Section 24.02 and 34.02 and are notduplicated here. The audit report, in full detail, is on file in the Grand Lodge of-fice for review by any member of the Craft. Also, the report will be printed in theofficial proceedings of this Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge Free andAccepted Masons of Wisconsin.

The proposed budget for next year is in similar format as was used last year.It nowincludes actual fiscal year end results for 2007, 2008 and 2009 which gives a clearsummary of our Grand Lodge financial results for these three years. The projectionfor 2009-2010 is based on our actual results through February and estimates of ourincome and expenses for the last two months of this fiscal year. Revenue for thisyear was up because of income that was received from the Wisconsin Mason Homein accordance with the agreement that was reached on the Rehab and WellnessExpansion. Expenses were also up in a number of areas. This includes additionaltravel by our Grand Lodge Officers, Deputies and Area Administrators, the legal

39

costs associated with the Rehab and Wellness Expansion and the legal review ofby-law changes for the Wisconsin Masonic Home.

The Grand Lodge of Wisconsin has two main sources of income for the operatingbudget - investment income allocation and per capita tax.There was good improve-ment with our investments this year.We needed just over $118,500 in an investmentincome allocation to balance our budget which was down from last year.The contin-ued decrease in our per capita tax is an ongoing concern. As shown in the budgetproposal, in the last three years the per capita tax has dropped by over $50,000.

In compliance with Section 24.01 of the Wisconsin Masonic Code, I have madearrangements to sign all mileage and per diem checks for the representatives at-tending the 2010 Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge Free and AcceptedMasons of Wisconsin. The distribution of these checks will be made on Saturday,June 5, 2010, in conformity with Section 30.06 of the Wisconsin Masonic Code.

Thank you my Brothers, for the privilege of allowing me to continue to serve asyour Grand Treasurer. This year has been a continuing learning experience as Iget a better understanding of the business side of our great Fraternity.The supportof our Grand Lodge staff has made my job much easier as they have always beenthere to give me the help that I needed. To our Grand Master Craig S. Campbelland your Grand Lodge Officers, I thank you for the opportunity to serve the Craftand be a part of the Grand Lodge team.

EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT

To the Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Wisconsin:

In compliance with Section 29.05 of the Wisconsin Masonic Code, we are pleasedto submit the Expenditures Committee report and the proposed budget for thefiscal year 2010-2011.

40

On April 16, 2010 copies of the proposed budget for the Grand Lodge Free andAccepted Masons of Wisconsin were mailed to each constituent Lodge and tothe officers and permanent members of the Grand Lodge. Resolution No. 1-2010addresses the adoption of this budget with this adoption recommended by theExpenditures Committee.

The Expenditures Committee met numerous times in 2009-2010 to develop thebudget of anticipated income and expenditures for fiscal year 2010-2011. Based onthe direction of the Deputy Grand Master we understood that it was important forus to look at both our revenue sources and the necessary expenditures to providethe quality and expected services that are needed by the Lodges and the Brothersthat we serve.

In the past, it has been the practice to look at past budgets when developing thebudget plan for the upcoming year. We felt it was important to look at actual yearend results and we wanted you to see these actual results as well. Thus the budgetformat includes actual fiscal year end results for 2007, 2008 and 2009 as well asthe year end projection for 2009-2010.

The proposed budget for 2010-2011 shows total expenditures of $828,700 whichis an increase of about 4.7% from our expenditures of the past year. This increaseis a result of the following:

1. Increase in funding for the Wisconsin Masonic Journal to return to the higherquality paper stock and to cover the anticipated increase in postage andprinting costs.

2. Include the funds based on the anticipated favorable vote on Resolution #13-2010 in support of increase giving to the George Washington Memorial.

3. Increase in funds to do the needed maintenance on the Grand Lodge Buildingwhich has been put off for the last few years.

4. Increase in funds to include an additional paid staff position to help in meet-ing the necessary requirement of our office in today’s business environmentwhich now includes the Sarbanes-Oxley requirement of the government. Alsoincluded are funds for an anticipated health care cost increase and for smallmerit increase for our current staff so that we can keep wages competitive.

The last time the per capita tax increased was in 2006 at which time it was in-creased by $5.00. Your Expenditures Committee has worked very hard to developthis budget that we believe will allow your Grand Lodge to function at the highquality of service that it provides to each and every Lodge and each and everymember of our craft. To that end we find it necessary to come to you and ask for a$6.00 per capita increase. This per capita tax increase is addressed in Resolution2-2010 with adoption recommended by the Expenditures Committee.

On the revenue side we have included some increase in the rent we receive inour Grand Lodge Building as well as an increase in administrative fees we receive.We also have included an investment income allocation of $112,800 which is downslightly from this past year.

As we go forward, the members of the Expenditures Committee will look at theway we handled the business side of our fraternity. It is hoped that we will be ableto generate additional sources of revenue and to continue to operate in the mostefficient manner for the benefit of the craft.

vAN BRUNT HALL AD HOC COMMITTEE REPORT

To: The Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Wisconsin

“Brethren, it has been my pleasure and sometimes displeasure during the lastseveral years, to serve as chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee to try to figure outwhat the future is going to be for Van Brunt Hall. Brother John Wilke, as GrandMaster, appointed me to chair that committee two years ago and our current GrandMaster asked me to chair that committee again this year, so it is my privilege atthis time to give you the report of that committee.”

“The 2009-2010 Ad Hoc Committee for the future use of Van Brunt Hall hascompleted its tasks. I want to thank the many brethren who have provided theirservices to this committee during the last several years. This committee has beenfocusedondevelopinganoptiontopreservethebuildingandconvert it fromaliabilityto an asset as directed by this Grand Lodge two years ago in lieu of continuing tomothball it or demolish it. This report will only address the strategies developedtowards converting it into a 150 seat casual dining restaurant with a bar and a 300seat banquet hall. The final meeting of this committee was held on May 12, 2010.”

“During that meeting the Knutson family presented their business plan includingtheir efforts to raise capital. They have sent a letter of intent to the Grand Master.In that letter and with their business plan they commit to providing a minimum of$630,000 and up to $2,331,000 to help renovate the building from grant funds theyhave requested. The amount provided will depend on how much of what they haverequested is granted. They are ready to negotiate a triple net lease for 20 yearswith options for two 10 year extensions. They and we should know how much theyare granted by September of 2010.”

“The Knutson’s business plan proposes a triple net lease which will pay theproperty taxes levied on the commercial portion of the building which they leaseas well as the insurance, utilities, and maintenance for that portion of the building.They also will pay approximately 50% of these type costs for the common areas ofthe building as they will lease approximately 50% of the building. Their lease feewill start at $150,000 the first year and escalate at 2% per year. The lease fee in

45

the 10th year would be $210,000.”

“The best estimate for the cost to renovate the building is $ 5,400,000.The actualcosts couldbe lowerafterbidsaresolicited.Usingtheestimatedcosts the fraternitiescapital needs would range from $ 3,069,000 to $ 4,770,000.Possible sources for thesefunds include Tax Credits for Historic Building renovation estimated at $ 800,000,a TIF from the Village of Dousman in the amount of $540,000, grants from variousfoundations interested in preserving historic buildings, a capital campaign withinthe fraternity and borrowing through the issue of Midwest Disaster Relief Bonds.”

“The financial strategy being considered would use the cash flow from the Knut-son’s lease as well as the cash flow from leases issued to not-for-profit entities beingconsidered for the west wing of the building to retire the bonds after paying theexpenses of operating the building. When the actual amount to be contributed bythe Knutson’s is known a proforma can be prepared to define the amount of capitalthe fraternity will need to raise as well as debt service.”

“The governance strategy being considered is a 501.c.2.tax exempt LLC buildingassociation. This would be a pass through entity to another tax exempt entity suchas the Grand Lodge or the Wisconsin Masonic Home.”

“After lengthy discussion of all of the above business plans, proformas, andstrategies during the May 12th meeting, no consensus could be reached within thecommittee on whether or how to proceed with the renovation of Van Brunt Hall.”

“The proposed renovation of Van Brunt Hall involves a 20 year plus commit-ment. The financial and governance issues are complex. This committee has triedto exercise due diligence to identify all of these issues.”

“Key issues which need resolution are:

1. How successful will the Knutson’s be in their fund raising efforts?2. How would the Fraternity raise the balance of the capital needed to renovate

the building? If that fund raising required collateral, what would be the sourceof such collateral as the GrandTrustees position approved by this Grand Lodgelast year was that no Grand Lodge funds could be used for such a project norcould any Grand Lodge assets be encumbered to raise capital for this project.

3. Assessment of the probability of the Knutson’s success in the proposed com-mercial venture and the associated risk to the Fraternity for liability of anyfunds borrowed to fund the project should the Knutson’s be unsuccessful.

4. The governance strategy has two issues.a. Would the pass through entity be a pass through to the Grand Lodge or to

the Wisconsin Masonic Home?b. Will the Grand Lodge Trustees agree to transfer title for approximately

five acres to the proposed 501.c.2. Building Association?”

“At the conclusion of the meeting the representatives of the Executive Commit-tee, the Grand Trustees and the Wisconsin Masonic Home Board agreed to discussthese issues to their next meetings, each scheduled for May 22, 2010.”

“Most Worshipful Grand Master, I move the acceptance of this report and thatit be spread upon the record.”

GRAND TRUSTEE’S REPORT

“Prudence …is that habit by which we wisely judge and prudentially determineon all things relative to our present as well as to our future happiness…”

Most Worshipful Grand Master of Masons in Wisconsin, Craig S. Campbell,distinguished quests, and delegates to the 166th Annual Communication of theGrand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Wisconsin.

Chapter 28 of the Masonic Code of Wisconsin requires the Grand Trustees tosubmit to the Grand Lodge at each Annual communication a report on their official

48

acts. This is our report for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2010.

The Wisconsin Statutes and the Wisconsin Masonic Code with Annotations,delineate the number and qualifications of Grand Trustees, their election andtenure, vacancies, custody of securities, annual report, and supervision of propertyrequirements.There are five GrandTrustees of the Grand Lodge,elected to five-yearterms, with one elected at each Annual Communication, who shall not be eligibleto re-election to such office for a successive term. A Grand Trustee is a statutory,not a Masonic officer.

Chapter 188 of the Wisconsin Statutes, as it relates to Masonry, vests title in theGrand Trustees of all real and personal property that shall have been conveyed bydevise, gift, grant, purchase or otherwise to the society (fraternity).

Pursuant to Chapter 188 of the Wisconsin Statutes and Chapter 28, and otherreferences of the Wisconsin Masonic Code, the Grand Trustees have legal custodyof all bonds, obligations and securities, and legal title to all real estate. The GrandTrustees exercise a general supervision over the property, both real and personal,including trust funds of the Grand Lodge, unless otherwise provided by regulationof the Grand Lodge. The Grand Trustees are governed by the “prudent man” rulefor the investment of funds of the Grand Lodge.

During the 2009 - 2010 Masonic year, the Grand Trustees met numerous times,in person, by telephone conference call, and by email.The Grand Trustees govern bythree sub-committees, Real Estate, Finance and General Operations. We generallydetermine policy, goals and objectives by reaching a consensus.

Investments.Our fiscal year is May 1 to April 30. M & I Trust Company N.A. is our depository.

o Grand Lodge Investments in Marketable Securities.The GrandTrusteesoversee the investments of the Grand Lodge. The investment policy adopted by theTrustees provides for a target for marketable securities of 70% equity – 30% fixedincome asset allocation. The equity portion is further allocated 35% large capital-ization, 7.50% mid-cap, 7.50% small-cap and 20% international.

o The Grand Trustees retain Alpha Investment Consulting Group to provideadvice on investments and investment managers. The Grand Trustees have onefixed income manager, J.B. Investment Management, and seven equity managers:Daruma Asset Management (small cap), Vanguard (mid cap), American Beacon(large cap value), Vanguard (large cap index), American Funds – Growth Fundof America (large cap growth), DFA-International (small cap international) andMasters’ Select Funds (large cap international).

o At the beginning of the fiscal year, May 1, 2009, the Grand Lodge marketablesecurities investments were $7,008,693. At April 30, 2010, the end of the GrandLodge fiscal year, the assets had a value of $8,763,577. The Grand Trustees trans-ferred cash of $200,000 during the fiscal year to the Grand Lodge checking accountfor operations.

o The total return for the Grand Lodge investments for the fiscal year was 29.8%.The equity portion had a total return of 42.3%, while the fixed income total returnwas 6.8%. The total return was 2/10th of 1% less than the 30% target goal of the

49

Grand Trustees. This small difference was attributable to the fact that the actualasset allocation to equity investments was slightly less that the target.

o Over a three-year period, the Grand Trustees investment policy would haveproduced an annualized loss of 1.4%, while the actual annualized loss was 0.6%.Over a five-year period, the investment policy would have produced an annualizedgain of 4.4%, while the actual return was an annualized gain 4.5%.

Mortgages. As allowed by Chapter 33, Wisconsin Masonic Code, the Grand Trust-ees hold promissory notes and real estate mortgages securing the loans, on threeconstituent lodge properties, all of which are current, in the following amounts, ascompared to one year ago:

2009 2010Blue Hills Lodge #234 $108,968.24 $107,011.20Island City Lodge #330 $ 89,623.68 $ 88,358.43Evergreen #93 $180,000.00 $180,000.00

Total $378,591.92 $375,369.63.

Two other lodges have inquired regarding possible loans.

Asaguideline,theGrandTrusteesadoptedapolicythat thetotalamountof loans to constituent lodges is not exceed 10% of unrestricted funds.

Real Estate. The next section of this report deals with Grand Lodge real property.

o Duplex. We continue renting the two-family duplex on the Dousman Campus.The annual rentals bring in a cash flow of approximately $23,400.

o New London Apartments. As you know, we own a 12-unit apartment com-plex in New London, WI. The unit formerly housed the New London lodge withthe apartment units. We continue to rent nearly all of the 12 units. The rentalcash flow to April 30 was $62,100. We made timely repairs and maintenance. TheGrand Trustees continue to have the option of marketing the property for sale orcontinuing to use it as a source of income.

We particularly acknowledge the efforts of Brother Arthur and Carol Pfitzingerwho act as our agents.

o Farm. As you know, we own a 140-acre farm near our Grand Masonic Center.We renewed the existing lease with a local farmer for another two years. The cur-rent farm lease provides an income of about $21, 525 per year. We expect this landwill continue to appreciate. The appropriate, highest and best use of the farmlandis a very important issue for future Grand Trustees to deal with.

o Wisconsin Masonic Home Inc. This past Masonic year the Grand Trusteesdealt with the Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors of the Wisconsin Ma-sonic Home Inc. (WMH). As you know, the WMH board is responsible for operatingour Three Pillars Senior Living Communities, located on our campus at Dousman.Some years ago, the Grand Trustees leased about 62 acres to the WMH.

o Indemnification Agreement. In early December 2009, the Grand Trusteesreceived a request from the Wisconsin Masonic Home (WMH) to consent to theWMH increasing their existing debt from about 20 million dollars to about 26.3

50

million dollars, and amend the existing mortgages on the 62 acres. This request isfor financing the Home’s Rehabilitation and Wellness Center. To comply with ourresponsibilities for due diligence, we retained outside counsel to represent andadvise the Grand Trustees and the Grand Lodge Executive Committee.

o Afternegotiations,wereachedagreementwherebytheGrandTrusteesconsentedto the increased financing and resultant debt load. The WMH agreed to indemnifythe Grand Trustees and Executive Committee for any losses. The WMH agreed topay consent fees to the Grand Trustees as long as the debt continues.

o The consent fees are as follows:February 1, 2010 - $65,000February 1, 2011 - $25,000February 1, 2012 - $25,000February 1, 2013 - $65,000February 1, 2014 - $85,000.

“Each February thereafter - $120,000 (which payment shall continue until anyand all outstanding amounts due and owing arising under and pursuant to 2003Master Trust Indenture entered into by the Three Pillars Obligated group, or anyrefinancing thereof, are satisfied and paid in full).”

o The Consent to Amendment to Mortgages and the Letter Agreement weresigned as of January 22, 2010, by the Wisconsin Masonic Home Inc, the GrandMaster of Masons in Wisconsin, the Grand Secretary and Chair of Grand Trustees.We append copies of the signed documents and incorporate them into this report,as though set out in full, for publication in the annual proceedings.

Benevolent Activities Board (WMBAB) – WMH by Law Amendments.o As you know, Chapter 39 of the Code sets out WMBAB’s responsibilities for

our collective benevolent activities. The Chair of WMBAB will present a detailedreport. Grand Trustees participated in voting affirmatively to amend the by-lawsof the Wisconsin Masonic Home to, among other things, make the Grand Masterof Masons in Wisconsin a member of the WMH Board, and specifically to make theGrand Master chair of the WMH Board.

o The amendments make the Chair of Grand Trustees a required signatory forany significant WMH financial matters.

Grand Masonic Center. As you know, we maintain the Grand Masonic Centeroffice building at our campus in Dousman, WI. Our Grand Lodge offices are locatedin this building, including the Grand Master and Grand Secretary’s offices, andour office staff.

o We also rent space to several appendant bodies. This past year, The Order ofEastern Star paid rent for $8,503 and the York Rite Bodies paid $6,400.

o Through the efforts of Grand Secretary DeWolf, we obtained Directors andOfficers Liability Insurance for One Million dollars, to protect the Grand Trustees,Grand Lodge Executive Committee members and other Grand Lodge officers.

o We began discussions to refurbish our Grand Masonic Center.We will continueto coordinate with the Grand Secretary and other Grand Lodge officers regardingthese improvements to the facility.

51

Van Brunt Hall. The Grand Trustees 2008 and 2009 Annual Communicationreports contain detailed reports, not repeated here. In simplified terms, Van BruntHall was the original Masonic Home, and is now unoccupied. We believe the build-ing should either be demolished or used for some other purpose.

o An ad hoc committee has studied this matter for three years. There is a recentproposal to lease part of the building for a restaurant.

o I wish to commend Brother Bruce H. Lasko, Grand Trustee, for his exemplarywork,aidandassistance inrepresentingtheGrandTrusteesontheadhoccommittee.

o While the Grand Trustees can see merit in preserving the historic buildingthrough the lease of the building and adjacent land, the Grand Trustee policy asadopted in 2009, continues as follows:

1. The Grand Lodge will not invest any assets, funds or mortgage any assets inthe development of the restaurant or adjacent land.

2. The Grand Lodge will expect a reasonable return in the form of rental incomefrom any lease of the building and adjacent land.

3. The Grand Lodge will not subordinate its ownership interest to any lender offunds for the restaurant development.

General Operations. General operations went smoothly. We recognize withgratitude the cooperation and assistance provided to us by Grand Secretary,MichaelDeWolf, PGM, and his staff for their outstanding contributions.

o We also recognize the assistance provided by the maintenance staff of theWisconsin Mason Home for maintenance of the duplex and Grand Masonic Center.By agreement, our Grand Secretary has day-to-day responsibilities for the duplexand Center.

o With the assistance and concurrence of the Deputy Grand Master, Grand Sec-retary and the Grand Treasurer, we will make some accounting and bookkeepingchanges. We will now book all outstanding mortgages as receivable assets on ourbalance sheet.We will receive all mortgage payments and reinvest the interest andprincipal paid. We will book all WMH consent fees as assets and reinvest the samein a separate account. Only the Grand Treasurer will have authority to generaterequests for money for general Grand Lodge operations.We will establish a writtenprocedure as a check and balance system to insure proper accounting and applica-tion of the assets and moneys.

Recommendations.o That we continue our present investment policy.

o Over the last decade, bequests and gifts to the Grand Lodge general operat-ing fund are almost zero. We strongly urge that our Grand Lodge officers and ourDirector of Development prepare and execute a comprehensive plan allowingproper solicitations of bequests and gifts and fund raising, increasing the value ofthe general operating fund to a level sufficient for Grand Lodge general operations.

Conclusion.On a personal note, I am pleased to report that my five-year term as Grand

Trustee ends at the close of this annual communication. It has been my privilegeto serve. I thank my fellow Grand Trustees for their inspiration, help and guidance

52

as I served as Chairman the past two Masonic years. Pursuant to past practice, Ilook forward to the next Masonic year as an ex officio member of Grand Trustees.

Grand Master, may I have the pleasure of introducing to you and the Brethren,the 2009-2010 Grand Trustees, Alan Iding, PGM, Robert Gorsuch, Guy Gooding,Bruce Lasko and Bruce Sim PGM, ex officio.

Most Worshipful Grand Master, on behalf of the Grand Trustees. I move thisreport be approved and adopted.

Fraternally, & Sincerely,

WISCONSIN BOARD OF MASONIC SERvICE ANDASSISTANCE REPORT

To the Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Wisconsin;

It has been a great privilege to work closely and in harmony with each memberof this board over the past twelve months. The insight and compassion displayedby these Brothers has proven invaluable, and each individual is to be commendedfor his dedication to you as well as our gentle craft.

During the course of the past year, very few of us have remained untouched insome way by the ongoing economic strife unfolding around us. The same can besaid for many members of our fraternity.

This Masonic year began with a clarification of mission as well as changes inboard structure and makeup. As Freemasons, we are taught that charity shouldbegin within the Lodge. This tenant was incorporated into board policy as a way toascertain the level of assistance rendered to an individual Lodge member request-ing aid prior to contacting the board. I am pleased to report that in the majority ofcases, the individual Lodge had provided that initial assistance.

Inaddition,acover letterwasdraftedandapprovedfor inclusionwitheachrequestfor assistance. The letter explains procedures required to bring about the timelyand satisfactory resolution of an application. One of the most frustrating occur-rences faced by the board in the past is the lack of follow through by the individualrequesting aid. It is hoped that this letter will alleviate that problem in the future.

The board was also tasked with reducing the time line between an initial requestfor aid and the final disbursal of funds. While this has improved greatly, there isroom for improvement.

Special recognition is also due to MSA Coordinators and Field Agents for theirefforts on behalf of our veterans, as well as the Grand Secretary and Grand LodgeOffice Staff for their swift processing of assistance requests.

In closing, it is important to note that your Masonic Board of Service And As-sistance has processed a number of requests this past year, most ending in muchappreciated help to those requesting it. In light of the current economic situation,the mission of the board continues to become more and more important in fulfill-ing one of Freemasonry’s most important tenants… charity. Through your ongoingdonations and kindnesses, we stand ready to assist when and however we can.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of theWisconsin Board of Masonic Service and Assistance,

WISCONSIN MASONIC JOURNAL BOARD REPORTAND PRESENTATION

To the Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Wisconsin;

If the course of the past Masonic year could be summed up in a single word, thatword would be change, whether momentous or monumental remains to be seen,but change never the less.

Your publication began the budget year struggling with cutbacks resulting incost-cutting measures including a reduction in the number of printed pages perissue as well as a lowering of newsprint quality. In order to compensate for theresultant loss of editorial space, four “electronic pages” were placed monthly on theGrand Lodge website, a move which may signal the initial stages of a move towardInternet publication of your Journal in the future.

Another change came with the departure of Brother William Stonecipher, whoretired after a distinguished career as editor of the Journal. Having been giventimely notice, the board immediately set out to find a suitable replacement andwas fortunate to secure the services of Brother Richard Rygh, a 30 year veteranof the newspaper business. Brother Rygh has proven to be a solid asset in his newposition as editor.

In addition to this change, the Board welcomed several new members into itsmidst, all of whom have a background in various aspects of print, broadcast andelectronic media as well as sales. The addition of these members has served tobroaden the scope of the board’s future planning as well as adding fresh perspec-tives regarding our overall responsibility to the craft. You truly have a well-versedand knowledgeable group of individuals working to improve the quality and contentof your publication.

During the course of the upcoming Masonic Year, the board hopes to work closelywith our new Grand Master in bringing forth a number of new thoughts and ideas,which will serve to enhance both readership and overall appearance of the Jour-nal. Among various items proposed is an upgrade in newsprint quality as well asinitiating a readership survey that will allow the board to measure the needs andwishes of our readers.

With the coming of a new Masonic Year come new challenges for all and westand ready to build upon past accomplishments while allowing for future growthin a variety of exciting areas designed to make your Wisconsin Masonic Journal apublication each of you can take a measure of pride in.

In closing, it is important to note that while change was the watchword for thepast year, the board was able to persevere, while continuing to deliver the qualitypublication that Wisconsin’s Freemasons have come to expect.That product and theexperience utilized in its production is in no small way directly linked to the dedica-tion of purpose displayed by each member of yourWisconsin Masonic Journal Board.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the Wisconsin Masonic Journal Board,

“It is my honor to speak with you this morning on behalf of the veterans of the stateof Wisconsin. This is a subject that is very dear to my heart and I have been in thisposition over ten years. As I was talking at breakfast this morning, it is unbelievablenow to go into the VA hospitals and see pregnant ladies, see little children runningthroughout the hospital. It just reminds you that we have men in a situation thatwe would like not to be in, but if you could see the injuries and the conditions thatthey are in, I am sure that each and every one of you would go out of your way tospend a few minutes in these hospitals visiting these brothers. We have no way rightnow in the VA facilities to tell if any of these individuals are Masons or not. Due tothe priority of the conditions that exist today we cannot personally ask what clubsor fraternities they belong to unless we have a one-to-one conversation with them.You can see the difficulties that we are having of contacting our brethren in thesehospitals so I am appealing on behalf of the Masonic Service Association, if youhave five minutes you see an individual with a big smile on his face because theyneed visitors, whether he is a Mason or not, he needs our visitation and companion-ship so he will be able to be healed and returned to civilian life, if that’s his future.”

“The VA is establishing out-reach clinics throughout the state of Wisconsin andin northern Illinois. Madison, Zablocki in Milwaukee, Tomah and King are overrun by veterans. We don’t see half of the veterans because when they reach our levelhere, they have been progressing and are doing much better in their rehab, but afterseeing them come this far it would become very difficult to see them in the conditionwhen they come back. I would appeal to you to take that to heart and if you haveany time at all, visit these 3 active VA hospitals.”

“We have representing the Masonic Service Association in the four veteran’s hos-pitals; Laverne Storkson in Madison, Steve Hanson in Tomah, Chuck Wallens inMilwaukee and Tom Dowman in King. These individuals have Masonic volunteersthat work for them. They do everything from pouring coffee to chapel service onSunday. It is nothing for these Brothers to drive from Eau Claire to Tomah, 80-85miles one way, to do the work for the veterans. These Brothers receive a little assis-tance from Service and Assistance monthly. This money goes to buy goods for thesehospitalized veterans and it is given directly to the veterans. The only time that thehospital gets any of this money is when they have a special project that goes directlyto the veterans. We have a few lodges here in the state of Wisconsin that have been

76

consistently making donations to MSA and Service and Assistance. If you are soinclined, no matter how small the amount is, you can send it to any one of thesefour Brethren. Or you can send it to me and I guarantee you that it will go to therepresentative that you pick it to go to.”

NECROLOGy REPORT

Reverend Donald Iliff, Grand Chaplain;

Most Worshipful Grand Master, honored guests, and brothers. It is a solemnmoment as brothers of the craft pause to remember those brothers who have diedin the past year. Their passing leaves a pang of sorrow, and a feeling of loss. Theirvoices will be heard no more around the altars of Masonry, but the noble exampleof their unselfish and devoted lives will combine to live in the lives of those theyinfluenced, and guide the conduct of the ones they loved.

Our departed brothers have given of themselves to the fraternity, and their deathbrings an emptiness to the lodge. Their friendship and brotherly love will long be

77

remembered, and we will cherish their memory in our hearts. We know that theGrand Architect of the Universe, our God, will comfort all those who mourn.

We hold the belief that they have been welcomed into the Lodge Eternal. Thisassurance is proclaimed through our places of worship. It is the destiny of ourlives. This hope comforts our sadness, and encourages us to live most fully in thepresent moment.

Brothers, I commend to your care, the families of our departed brothers. Theywill cherish your encouragement, and helpfulness. They supported our brother ashe gave of himself to the craft. May we remember them in our lodge family in theyears ahead. It is in deep appreciation that we recall the accomplishments of ourbrothers. It now falls to each of us to pick-up their tools and carry-on the work ofMasonry. Their example and diligence will guide us in all that we do. We ask thatour Creator bless our talents and abilities, guide us in our thinking, and, enlargeour influence in all that we do.

I ask you, as you are able, to stand now in a moment of silent prayer and re-membrance. Let us pray:

“O God, most mighty and merciful, we thank you that amidst all the labor andturmoil, the perplexity and apparent confusion of our lives, you have not left usalone to wander unguided and alone. The Ancient Landmarks guide our course inMasonry. The Great Lights in Masonry disclose our pathway. You have set beforeus the shining goal of life immortal. Even though we walk through the valleys andshadows of life, you are with us, supplying our deepest need.

We thank you for sharing our brothers with us for these many years. We are grate-ful for our common labors, the aims and purposes we shared together, the ties whichbound his soul to ours, and good he did and the service he rendered, to us and to allwho were near and dear to him.

Finally, grant, we pray thee, that our Brother may wait beside the tiled door ofthe Lodge of Eternity, to welcome us in our time, to the Mansions prepared fromeverlasting. Amen.” From, Wisconsin Monitor, 1956, pages 106-107

WISCONSIN MASONIC BENEvOLENT ACTIvITIESBOARD REPORT

The Wisconsin Masonic Benevolent Activities Board (WMBAB) is charged withoverseeing and helping to coordinate our Masonic Charities.WMBAB reviews plans,budgets, investments and programs for each of our boards. These charities includethe Masonic Foundation, the Masonic Home, and the Board of Masonic Service andAssistance. The Masonic Soccer Foundation has been merged with the MasonicFoundation. As an oversight board it is WMBAB’s job to look at the “big picture.”

Each of our charitable boards is headed up by new chairpersons this year. PastGrand Master Keith Chamberlain is chairing Service and Assistance, Brother GaryBeier chairs the Masonic Foundation and Brother Bill Huelsman is serving as act-ing chair of the Masonic Home Board. We sincerely appreciate the efforts of thesefine Masonic leaders, as well as the board members that serve on all of our boards.

A major initiative was begun by the Masonic Home this year after receivingWMBAB approval. Construction of a new rehabilitation center on our Dousmancampus is under way. A new capital campaign to help raise funds for the rehabcenter has been launched under the title of “Caring to Grow.” The capital campaignis being chaired by Past Grand Master Rod Paulsen, who is working with ourDevelopment Office of William Barnes and Erika Miller, as well as a full team of“Caring to Grow” volunteers. We salute Brother Rod and his team and wish themluck in this important endeavor. We encourage all Wisconsin Masons and their

83

families to support this project.

The relationship of our charities to the craft is quite complex. Having establishedour charities as 501(c)3 charities under the internal revenue code makes them moreattractive to donors but also creates more responsibilities for our leadership tofollow the stringent IRS rules. Each charity has a mission incumbent upon it. It isessential that we maintain a clear view of our mission, as it can be overwhelmingrunning the day to day operations of these multi-million dollar charitable “busi-nesses.” One of the goals of WMBAB for the upcoming year is to continually workto clarify our charitable mission and to ensure that we aren’t so deeply involvedin the business side of our charities that we forget the human and especially theMasonic side of those charities.

Fraternally,

Donald W. HensiakPresident WMBAB

WISCONSIN MASONIC FOUNDATION BOARD REPORT

To the Grand Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons of Wisconsin;

MostWorshipful Grand Master of Masons inWisconsin,Craig S.Campbell;RightWorshipful Deputy Grandmaster, Joseph B. Harker, Grand Lodge Elected andAppointed Officers, Honorable Past Grand Masters, and Brother Masons all: thefiscal year ending April 30, 2010 presented plenty of challenges. I report with pridethat the directors and staff of your Wisconsin Masonic Foundation have been up toevery one of them. The net result is that this foundation has continued to grow inits overall value and in service to our Fraternity and our individual communities.

Prudent investment and sound money management are the watchwords thatcontinue to light our pathways of service to the Craft. Your Foundation has expe-rienced its share in the downturns of Wall Street and the world markets, but thenews of today is good news. The Wisconsin Masonic Foundation, through the assetmanagement resources of Robert W. Baird and Company, has regained just over$3 million in value during the past 12 months. The Foundation portfolio is well-positionedtocontinue in thispositivestancewithminimal riskandmaximumvalue.

Our redesigned custodial operations have created a highly positive cash flowposition that allows the Foundation to meet all of its disbursement responsibilitieswithout the liquidation of any assets. In past years, this was not always the case,but thanks again to the work of Baird management and the Development Officeled by Brother William Barnes, this Foundation is in an excellent financial position.We will work diligently to make sure that this can continue well into the future.

This positive asset management provided the financial working tools for us todo what this Foundation was designed to do some 85 years ago. This past year, theWisconsin Masonic Foundation provided just over $1.1 million in grants as follows:

Wisconsin Masonic Home Endowment - $825,285 to assist in overall servicesto Three Pillars residentsMasonic Foundation Matching Scholarships - $105,950 to 162 graduatesDonor Designated Scholarships - $154,650 to 110 recipients

84

MedicalFundmatchinggrants -$54,268.92to22communitiesacrossthestateSpecial-named fund grants - $139,573.69 to 24 Masonic and communitycharities

These totals will, as always, be finalized in our official year-end audit to becompleted this summer.

This year, the Masonic Soccer Foundation merged with the Wisconsin MasonicFoundation to become the Masonic Soccer Fund.Under the able guidance of BrotherDavid Tainter, this program has continued its outstanding efforts and positivefinancial outcome. Most important, we have gained Brother Tainter as the newestmember of the Foundation’s Directors and we are thankful for his services to usand the Craft as a whole.

Another area of concentration this year has been the development of new policiesto guide this Foundation’s work. In addition to slight revisions of our long-standinginvestment policy, work has begun on development of a gift acceptance policy toguide our board and our donors.We are working on general disbursement policy andhave developed on-going balance audit procedures thanks to our Treasurer BrotherKevin Breitzmann, with the assistance of Grand Treasurer, Brother John Benedict.The result of these efforts will be sound pathways for future decision making witha clear and consistent picture of prudence to reassure our donors.

On behalf of my colleagues on the Board of the Wisconsin Masonic Foundation,it has been on honor to serve our Craft through the meaningful programs, whichyou and Brethren throughout Wisconsin have developed - they serve, educate andeven save lives.

Myspecial thankstoourGrandTreasurer,JohnBenedict,GrandmasterCampbellfor his continued support and guidance, Grand Secretary Michael A. DeWolf for theoutstanding day-to-day guidance that makes our work possible, our professionalstaff: Brother Bill Barnes, Director of Development; Erika Miller, DevelopmentCoordinator; Alicia Darr, Business Office; Jan Gorgen, Office Manager and CherylMartin, Receptionist.

WISCONSIN MASONIC HOME INC. ANNUAL BOARD REPORT

To the Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Wisconsin:

The Three Pillars Board of Directors is proud to report that the organizationcontinues to successfully provide the high level of quality services that you havecome to expect. Not only is our senior living community renown for high standardsand quality, but the Board has their finger on the pulse of maintaining competi-tive advantage into the future. It is very rewarding to be a part of such a dynamic,progressive, and truly mission based group. You can remain confident that theBoard of Directors is actively analyzing ways to effectively carry our long traditionof Masonic principles and values into the new age of senior services. To that end,the Board and management are in various stages of strategic initiatives, with aneye to stability and advancement of our mission.

Following two years of assessment and planning, Three Pillars took the steptowards implementing the rehabilitation and wellness strategy this year. After asummer of design and architectural development,construction began on this expan-sion to our Masonic Center for Health & Rehab last January. Once completed thisDecember, our addition to Three Pillars services will again place the organizationin a position of competitive advantage.

The new short-term rehab unit will have 14 private suites and a state of the arttherapy gym that will provide services for those seniors who are looking for thenecessary rehabilitation to return home, and in an environment that is more hos-pitality based than the home-like setting of our existing Health Care Center. Thisnew facility will also significantly increase our ability to offer outpatient servicesfor those not residing on our campus.The transferring of state-licensed beds to thisnew facility will also create an opportunity for more private rooms in our existingHealth Care Center, a need identified by residents and families in recent surveys.A new, innovative wellness center is also part of this initiative. This concept willprovide active lifestyle and wellness programs for adults in the 55 plus market ina facility unique to our area. The center will have an aerobic/dance studio that willalso serve as space for educational and support group meetings. A demonstrationkitchen will host nutritional programs and the fitness room will have trainingequipment designed around the unique needs of older adults. More informationabout these exciting programs will be available this summer.

This expansion is the culmination of significant market evaluation and planning,and the Board is very proud to report that it will become reality in 2010. The Boardand management are also participating in the group reviewing potential futureuses of Van Brunt Hall and will continue to be supportive of any efforts that willsuccessfully make productive use of this facility that was once the original MasonicHome. Likewise, the Board has been careful in moving forward with any perma-nent solution to the concerns related to Mason Woods, in Cecil. While no realisticalternative to a sale has been realized to date, the real estate market continues tobe unfavorable in moving forward with the previous decision to exit the operation.Board and management leadership are utilizing this time to further evaluate op-tions to ensure we exhaust all possible solutions before marketing the property.

Three Pillars continues looking to the future, even while current strategies areunderconstruction.TheBoard is currentlyevaluatingtheservicesprovided inRiver-side Lodge to determine whether this facility should move to a strategy of “Memory

104

Care” services.This would be the first facility on campus to offer dedicated AssistedLivingAlzheimer’s care.In addition,the organization will be evaluating the possiblefuture of Home and Community Based Services, the concept of providing servicesto seniors in their own homes in addition to those living within one of our facilities.

As you can see, the Board is continuing to look toward the ever-changing futureof senior living services. I am very confident that the extremely dedicated andpassionate individuals that serve on your Three Pillars Board of Directors willcontinue to make decisions based on what is best for Three Pillars and this greatFraternity. I would also like to thank the management and staff for their com-mitment to quality and dedication to the mission of this wonderful jewel of ourFraternity. While busy putting into place the initiatives discussed, the staff haveconsistently maintained the high standards of quality that we have come to expect.This is particularly evident in the State inspection reports and the outstandingresponses to the customer satisfaction surveys.

On behalf of the Board, I pledge our dedication to ensure that your Three PillarsSenior Living Communities continues to maintain a highly regarded organizationin a vastly growing competitive region. By living and breathing the principles andvalues of Freemasonry and providing high standards of quality care and quality oflife, we are confident that Three Pillars will remain a successful example of Masonicservice for decades to come.

ESOTERIC COMMITTEE REPORT

To the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Wisconsin:

The Esoteric Committee met two times this year; immediately after the Grand

105

Lodge Annual Communication on June 6, 2009 in Madison, Wisconsin, and March27, 2010 in Wausau, Wisconsin.

Current District Lecturers and Esoteric Committee members:

District #1 David Frings District #2 Harold ChristiansenDistrict #3 Al Jurgens District #4 Moses AdamsDistrict #5 Michael Barreyro District #6 Ken BatesDistrict #7 Harold Carpenter District #8 Joel ArnoldDistrict #9 Henry Pynakker District #10 Pat StorrsDistrict #11 Shane Beecraft District #12 Frank Mayer

The following report is submitted for consideration for the year of 2009 – 2010.

One hundred sixty-three lodges attended schools of instruction over the currenttwelve districts. There were no schools scheduled or reported on for District 1 andDistrict 8. Schools were given either by Area, or if the lecturer preferred, they werehandled on an individual lodge basis. This is also done to accommodate schedulingfor the lodges.

The reports submitted display a wide variation in ritual involvement on the partof the lodges. Some lodges will not spend the time going to a school versus the lodgesthat are eager for the learning opportunity. The latter is more commonplace thanthe former. Many schools are heavily attended with much enthusiasm displayed.The lodges that are not attending the schools are not only weak in the ritual, butit is probably true that they are also weak in other aspects of Masonry. It is recom-mended that there should be follow-up in this area over the next year.

As a plus, many of the lodges that are attending schools are showing strides inperforming excellent ritual. The lecturers this year graded the lodges on a 1 or 5 or9 scale with 9 being excellent in a particular area versus a 1 being poor. A 5 wouldbe acceptable. I am pleased to say that I saw more 5’s and 9’s in the reporting than1’s. These grades are an indication that the ritual work in the State is very good,and the enthusiasm to take part in this learning and teaching process is growing.

In May of this year the Esoteric Committee held a degree competition and sevenlodges signed up to compete. It is our hope that this type of competition will inspiremore lodges to achieve excellence and that there will be more lodges competingin the future.

I wish to extend my appreciation to all the lecturers and members of this com-mittee for their unselfish dedication of their time and talents. Holding schools isa challenging task, but the rewards can be exhilarating. Ritual is the heartbeat ofour organization and our lecturers keep the blood flowing. It is a joy to work withthem and it is inspiring for me to witness their dedication.

Respectfully submitted,

Kenneth C. GorgenGrand Lecturer, Chairman

GRAND LODGE PLANNNING COMMITTEE REPORT

To the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Wisconsin;

This year the Planning Committee was charged with developing a program toassist the Lodges in several areas of common concern: Member Involvement, Reten-tion and Restoration, and Growth.

To assist in these areas, a program has been developed around a concept called“Lodge Centers of Excellence.” A Center of Excellence is a lodge that excels in oneor more of these areas. Lodges that have successful programs that address thesecommon concerns have been identified and have agreed to be a Lodge Center ofExcellence. These lodges will be listed on the Grand Lodge Website, along withtheir contact information and area of excellence. If a lodge is looking for ideas on

111

member involvement, retention, restoration or growth, this would be an avenue forthem to contact one or more of the “Lodge Centers of Excellence” to see how theycould implement similar programs in their lodge to address these common concerns.

In addition to the Centers of Excellence, a personal contact program will beimplementedtokeepbrothers informedofupcomingeventsandactivitiesstate-widevia email. Combined with the listings in the Wisconsin Masonic Journal, this willprovide an additional mechanism to build stronger relationships between lodgesacross the state of Wisconsin through a personal contact regarding events, onlinesurveys and notifications from the Grand Master or the Grand Lodge office. EachLodge will have the opportunity to have their activities emailed to brethren bycontacting the Grand Lodge office.

In addition,we have revised the reporting forms used by the District Deputies andArea Administrators to make reporting to the Grand Master simpler and uniform.

I would like to thank all those that assisted the committee in gathering informa-tion and presenting ideas. We thank those Lodge Centers of Excellence for theirwillingness to share ideas of success. We encourage brethren and all lodges toparticipate in the personal contact program, as well as review the Lodge Centersfor Excellence information that may assist your lodge in earning the distinction ofbecoming a Lodge Center of Excellence.

NO UNFINISHED BUSINESS DECLARATION

Grand Master Craig Campbell, Grand Secretary Michael DeWolf and GrandTreasurer John Benedict all declared that there was no unfinished business ontheir desks.

The Annual communication was declared informal so that the 2010-2011 GrandLodge officers could assume their new stations and returned to formal status whenall were in their place.

PROCLAMATION

Past Grand Master and Installing Grand Marshal Larry Myers proclaimed the2010-2011 elected and appointed Grand officers duly installed.

PRESENTATION OF PAST GRAND MASTER’S JEWEL

Past Grand Master James H. Olson presented the Past Grand Master’s jewelto outgoing Grand Master Craig S. Campbell. He asked all to rise and give him ahearty round of applause for a job well done.

REMARKS By GRAND MASTER HARKER

“My brothers, I am deeply humbled but honored by having been elected andinstalled as your Grand Master. I want to congratulate and thank all of the GrandLodge Officers that have been elected or appointed and installed to serve you thisnext Grand Lodge year with me. We all thank you for your support and confidence.We pledge to you our support in all of your endeavors. We also pledge our support toYork Rite, Scottish Rite, and Shrine and other appendant bodies as well as our youthorganizations. Your work is important and appreciated by all those whom you serve.Your Grand Lodge Officers want you to know that we are a team that is in place toserve the brothers, lodges and all Masonic affiliates of this great jurisdiction. I wantyou to know that I will do my very best to uphold the duties of the office to whichI have been elected and installed. I know that our other officers will do the same.”

“I have been asked repeatedly by many of you if I thought that I would be readyto be your next Grand Master. As a team of Grand Lodge officers that have beenworking very well together there are many things we already are aware of that mustbe handled and I am sure there are many more that we are not aware of that willrequire handling. I want you all to know that the team of progressive line officershave been meeting at least once each and every month for several years now. I trustthat will continue. Your executive officers will be meeting this year once each monthor more often as required to address issues that are brought to our attention. So toanswer that most frequently asked question. I may not know all the answers butwith the assistance of the team assembled, I/we will provide the answers and/orinformation that you deserve and expect. I strongly believe in team work. A teamwill accomplish much more than any one individual can accomplish by himself.”

“We must thank all of our Past Grand Masters for their excellent leadership andforesight to set the direction that our Jurisdiction has taken in the past. Their suc-cesses have enabled us to set our goals equally as high. We know that we can counton each of them for guidance. Thank-you Past Grand Masters.”

“You Grand Lodge office staff lays poised and ready to assist you and yourlodges when you need them. The young ladies at your Grand Lodge office have theexperience and knowledge to address your many concerns and needs. I would askthat you be polite and courteous providing adequate time for our staff to producethe certificates, forms, materials etc. that you need. You have provided me with theopportunity the past two years to travel to the North American Conference of GrandMasters and Grand Secretaries.There I have had the chance to talk with many GrandLodge officers from various Jurisdictions. When time allowed, I sat in on portionsof the Grand Secretary’s sessions and it is very apparent that we are so very luckyto have M.W. Michael A. DeWolf, P.G.M., Grand Secretary serving our jurisdiction.M.W. Brother Mike along with our Right Worshipful Brother John Benedict, GrandTreasurer spent a considerable amount of time and energy in negotiating some veryfavorable terms of coverage and premium costs for our lodges and The Grand Lodgeinsurance protection and expenses this year. I am sure that nearly all of you experi-enced a decrease in the amount that you are paying in insurance premiums. Thesetwo Brothers were also tasked with the rollout of the new Government regulations.These two items alone required considerable time and effort. My brothers you do notknow how fortunate you and I are to have a staff so capable and knowledgeable.”

“Our Grand Secretary will be conducting secretary training sessions this year. Aportion of that training will be MORI (The Masonic Online Registry Interface) tool.It is a tool that all lodges must master. I want you all to know that it has becomeimpossible to maintain the BLIS (Blue Lodge Information System). BLIS was on aplatform that does not make sense to utilize any longer. Face it today my brothers,BLIS is a thing of the past. If you are still using it, set a goal to transfer to MORIover the summer. While it makes the most sense that the Lodge would benefit if theLodge secretary were your local MORI expert, it does not have to be the secretarybut it may be another member of your Lodge who has basic computer skills and iswilling to learn the MORI system. I have attended one of the early MORI trainingclasses a few years ago and more recently have taken the on line training session.It is not difficult my brothers. MORI is a complete web based membership manage-ment application for use by constituent Lodges, integrating the Grand Lodge office,subordinate body, and fundraising functions into a unified system. MORI can helpus to eliminate errors, improve mailings, enforce our Constitution, and lower ouroperating expenses. I encourage those Lodges that are not registered to do so nowrather than later. I have looked at the usage statistics: there are 13 Lodges whohave as yet not registered; there are Lodges that have accessed the program a dozentimes or so and there are Lodges that have accessed the program in the hundredsof times and one Lodge that has accessed it nearly 1,000 times. Our Grand LodgeOfficers want to see you utilize this program as it is a tool to enable your Lodges tobe more efficient and to reduce the time your secretary or assistant secretary spendspreparing dues notices, recording dues, preparing reports, and sending notices toyour membership and many other efficiencies as well. Please pass along to yourMORI user that it would be a great deal of help if he were to provide input in eachof the data fields for each member. I found this past fall and winter while trying tofill Grand Lodge Officer, board and committee positions that the occupation categoryhasn’t been completed or stated retired.This lack of information makes it difficult inidentifying individual to serve your fraternity. If retired please state the profession oroccupation from which our member retired from followed by (retired) in parentheses.”

“We have good programs in place and we believe that it is not necessary to startnew programs but rather improve those that we already have in place. Our planning

127

committee this past year has been working on indentifying “Centers of Excellence”or in other words Lodges that have been successful using the programs that exist.These Lodges have been identified and are willing to assist other lodges that wouldlike to improve in certain areas. Shortly the Districts Deputies will have informa-tion on this data.”

“Membership continues to be an area in which we must concentrate our efforts.Grand Master Campbell is to be commended on his initiative to hold several publicseminars that are continuing to generate new members for some of our Lodges. Wecan do nothing about our members that pass on to the lodge above. However, there isan area where we must, at the Lodge level, do a better job and that is communicat-ing with our brothers, especially those whom for whatever reason choose to resignor simply stop paying dues annually. I can not tell you how many former brothershave told me they are too embarrassed to request to be reinstated. The WorshipfulMaster and/orWardens should be (must be) contacting these brothers before they aresuspended. Maintain contact with brothers that live both locally and outside whatyou would normally list as your boundaries. A suggestion may be with a birthdaycard or Masonic anniversary card sent annually.”

“Your expenditures committee and Progressive Line Officers spent a great deal oftime and effort to understand our operating expenses. We reviewed the way that ourannual budget was developed only to determine that our budgets ware based on theprevious year’s budgets and not the actual expenditures. We found that for the pastseveral years the actual expenditures exceed the budgets in several categories andwere over budgeted in other categories. We found that there were expenses that didnot make sense being categorized the way that they were. As a result the true actualexpenses did not equate to the budget. We prepared a budget that is based uponwhat our actual expenses have been for the past 3-4 years and a projection for theyear just completed. Those records will be audited by September and we will knowwhere we will need to control with our expenses in an effort to stay within budget.We know that in future year we can refine this process. We have added additionalfunding to the Masonic Journal to improve the paper stock that is used in yourprinted publication. How many of you have gone to the Grand Lodge Web site to seethe Masonic Journal? Did you realize that there are additional pages showing morepictures and repetitive data? We have also budgeted to make some necessary repairsto your Grand Lodge Office building. It is necessary to provide our staff with raisesthis year. There are also the benefits that are increasing as well. We have made ourGrand Secretary position a paid position. We have found it necessary to meet ad-ditional Government/IRS requirements. This has meant that our Grand Secretarystudy and implement procedures to comply and stay current with these regulations.Some of you may think that your Grand lodge is being too forceful in requestingtimely filing of reports. Let me assure you that our Government is insisting on this,it is not your Grand Lodge office making it difficult on the Lodges.”

“We are not in favor of consolidations. Once a Lodge no longer exists in a commu-nity it is doubtful that it will ever reopen. There is one Lodge that we are watchingbecause they tell us that this may just happen. There have been the past couple ofyears Lodges that wanted to consolidate but didn’t and are now once again doingdegree work like they did 20-40 years ago. If they had consolidated what organiza-tion do you think these new bothers would have joined?”

“While a lodge that I am a member of has used the one day Man to Mason program

128

several times very successfully I want you all to know that I am not a fan of thismethod of raising a brother or group of brothers.”

“We are seeing a couple of our Lodges working on re-establishing youth organi-zations in their buildings. We offer to those Lodges encouragement and would askother Lodges to consider reforming or starting a youth organization. It is proven thatyouth exposed to Masonry will directly or indirectly add to your membership. Ad-ditionally, I have experienced many Lodges where the youth groups provide servicesto the Lodge during Lodge functions. This is a win – win opportunity for your Lodge.Your Grand Lodge through our investments and those of your Wisconsin MasonicFoundation continues to support Rainbow for Girls, Job’s Daughters and DeMolay.”

“I encourage all lodges to plan well in advance of the day of installation of Lodgeofficers.YourGrandLodgeOfficers enjoyparticipating inyour installations.Ask themearly before their calendars fill up.We work cheap. However, my brothers spend sometime planning your Lodge’s year. The Budget is most important. Understand yourexpenses and activities and prepare your Budget well in advance of your elections.This will also help in determining if an increase in your dues is needed.”

“The Wisconsin Masonic Home, Inc., Three Pillars Campus has undertaken theneeded construction of a 17,000 square feet expansion for a new Rehabilitation andWellness Center in Dousman. This will provide 14 private room beds for privatetherapy and continuing wellness programs.The“Caring to Grow”Capital Campaignis currently soliciting lodges and individuals for donations. Please consider a gener-ous gift to this effort. We continue to be concerned with our Van Brunt Building. Wealso continue to keep close watch over the Mason Woods facility. We hope to have asolid direction on the path forward for these two properties.”

“My brothers this is “OUR” fraternity. This is “OUR” year. It is not my year. Formy brothers as stated in the installation ceremony last evening “a Grand Mastershould be ever mindful that though elevated for the time being above his fellows,that he was elevated by them and to them he will shortly return.”

“My brothers you will now see on the screens the lapel pin representative of ouryear.As we are about to close this annual communication and you will hear from ourSenior Grand Warden “On the LEVEL.” Those three simple ittle words have meanta great deal to me all these years I have been attending Lodge meetings. When youopen your mind to it there are any number of meanings in this little statement. Inthe Lodge closing there are two little questions asked by the Worshipful Master andyou will hear them said a lot this coming year. I expect each and every member torespond. Let’s try IT!”

“How do we meet? How do we act? And how to we part?”

“Never Forget” our obligation and always remember that we meet “On the Level,”act by the “Plumb” and part upon the “Square.”

“Thank you and may God Bless!!!”
