Report of the Grand Treasurer Fiscal Year Ended 2/29/2020The financial status of the several funds of the Grand Lodge is reported on the accompanyingpages. The total net worth of all cash accounts at the close of the fiscal year was $7,546,489.94.When the outstanding loan receivables ($34,976.65) of the Benevolence Fund is added to thisfigure we get a total value of $7,581,465.69. The comparable figure from the year ending2/28/2019 was $7,493,142.40. I think it is interesting to note that when I assumed the office ofGrand Treasurer the first time, 27 years ago, in 1993, the 2/28/1993 comparable figure was$2,189,414.15.

The principal operating accounts of the Grand Lodge are the General Fund and the ReserveFund. During the year the Reserve Fund balance showed a slight increase from $5,087,409.10 to

(report continues on page 21)$5,162,813.58. And keep in mind this past year, in an effort to shore up the Prepaid Dues Fund,we again transferred $134,467.25 from the Reserve Fund to the Prepaid Dues Fund to cover theLife Membership payments to the lodges.

Anyone who watches the news or reads a newspaper know that the stock market continues tohave its ups and downs. I would have been much happier to not have been riding the market roller

coaster of the past few weeks, particularly the week that ended the last day of the Grand Lodgefiscal year, 2/29/2020. But the long-term trend whether one looks at five years, ten years, twentyyears or more; continues to be upward. This is why the Reserve Fund has increased more thaneightfold in the past 27 years. We continue to utilize an investment policy, adopted by theCorporate Board, that allows for a general mix of 75% equity and similar investments and 25%cash and fixed income investments. This policy has been used for about 26 years now and it ismy recommendation that we stay the course where our investment policy is concerned.

It has been a real pleasure to serve the Grand Lodge of Minnesota as your Grand Treasurer thispast year. I have worked closely with our Grand Secretary, R. W. Brother Keith Reierson, as hehas handled the great responsibility of managing the day-to-day operations of the Grand Lodge.

He and I have worked closely on the financial affairs of the Grand Lodge and as I leave the officeof Grand Treasurer, I am confident that the new Grand Treasurer should also be able to workequally well with the Grand Secretary and the established Grand Lodge office routine.

At the last Annual Communication, I announced my intention to step down from the office ofGrand Treasurer at the close of the Annual Communication in 2020. This marks the completion of27 years of service to the Grand Lodge of Minnesota as your Grand Treasurer or GrandSecretary, or 31 years of service if you count my time as a Custodian of the Ritual Work insouthern Minnesota prior to first accepting election as the Grand Treasurer in 1993. I feel I havealways done my best to safeguard the assets of the Grand Lodge and simultaneously I haveappreciated, and I will always appreciate, the great honor it has been to serve in these importantGrand Lodge offices.

Report of the Grand SecretaryMarch 1, 2019 to February 28, 2020

It is my pleasure and duty to present the annual report of the Grand Secretary for the fiscal yearending February 29, 2020.

PROCEEDINGS, COMMuNICATIONS, COMMISSIONS, ETC. The link for the Annual Proceedings of the 166th Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge ofMinnesota have been distributed by e-mail and made available on the Grand Lodge of Minnesotawebsite. Commissions have been issued as necessary since the last Annual Communication of the GrandLodge with the direction of M. W. Brother Steven D. Johnson and M.W. Brother Ethan A. Seaberg

There were three Occasional Communications of the Grand Lodge of Minnesota this past year:•April 23, 2019, Bloomington - Heritage Center, Install Ethan A. Seaberg as Grand Master•July 31, 2019, Duluth - UMD, Cornerstone Ceremony•December 7, 2019, Rochester, The Reading Center, Cornerstone Ceremony

RETuRNS There were 132 Chartered Lodges on the rolls March 1, 2019. There were two lodge mergersover the course of the past year: Star in the West Lodge No. 60 in Sauke Centre merged intoConstellation Lodge No. 81 in Alexandria on 10/15/2019. Charity Lodge No. 98 in New Ulmmerged into Sibley Lodge No. 209 in Winthrop on 12/31/2019. There are presently 130 CharteredLodges on the rolls as of February 29, 2020.Annual Returns were received from all Chartered Lodges on time or within a reasonable periodthereafter with the exception of the following seven Lodges who still have not sent in the report for2019: Temple Lodge No. 59, Hutchinson; Mystic Star Lodge No. 69, Rushford; Palestine LodgeNo. 79, Duluth; Bethel Lodge No. 103, Lake Crystal; Canby Lodge No. 147, Canby; Fortitude


Lodge No. 188, Two Harbors; and Koochiching Lodge No. 270, International Falls. We have a relatively short period of time between the end of the Grand Lodge fiscal year onFebruary 29th and the Annual Communication to prepare for the Annual Communication. It cancreate a serious burden on the Grand Lodge office when the Annual Returns (which are dueannually on January 15th) are late and/or incomplete. Much more importantly, we appreciate andsincerely thank those Lodges and Secretaries who, year-in and year-out, file their returns promptlyas required by the Minnesota Masonic Code.

Grand Master and Officers and Members ofThe Grand Lodge of A. F. and A. M. of MinnesotaBloomington, Minnesota

Independent Auditors' ReportWe have audited the accompanying financial statements of The Grand Lodge of A. F. and A.

M. of Minnesota, which comprise the statement of financial position as of February 28, 2019, andthe related statements of activities and changes in net assets, and cash flows for the year thenended, and the related notes to financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial

statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant tothe preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the UnitedStates of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtainreasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from materialmisstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts anddisclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor'sjudgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditorconsiders internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financialstatements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but notfor the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness ofaccounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made bymanagement, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our audit opinion.

OpinionIn our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,

the financial position of The Grand Lodge of A. F. and A. M. of Minnesota as of February 28,2019, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordancewith accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chang in Accounting PrincipleAs discussed i Note 2 to the financial statements, The Grand Lodge of A.F. and A.M. of

Minnesota has adopted Accounting Stadards Update (ASU) No. 2016-14, Presentation ofFinancial Statemenets for Non-for-Profit Entities. Our opinion is not modified with respect to thatmatter.

Report on Summarized Comparative InformationWe have previously audited The Grand Lodge of A. F. and A. M. of Minnesota's 2018 financial

statements, and we expressed an unmodified opinion on those audited financial statements in ourreport dated July 10, 2018. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presentedherein as of and for the year ended February 28, 2018, is consistent, in all material respects, withthe audited financial statements from which it has been derived.

Report on Supplementary InformationOur audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements

as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information is presented for purposes of additionalanalysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is theresponsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlyingaccounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has beensubjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certainadditional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to theunderlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to thefinancial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditingstandards generally accepted in the United States of America.

Report of the KidsID Program for 2019-2020KidsID – A Child Safety ProgramWe have now completed our tenth year of the KidsID Program. There are fifteen lodges that havecompleted at least one event each year. Four lodges that have done two events each year.Furthermore, during the past ten years, there are just a few lodges that have not done at least oneKidsID event. At the present, lodges use KidsID to help connect with their surrounding



communities. Quite often when a lodge makes this connection, the community, invites them backthe next year.Just about all the KidsID events take place in the spring and summer. During these ten years, wehave had to overcome some obstacles, like computers overheating. The answer was to put a fanin each case. Also, as a standing rule, we don’t allow outdoor events. This has caused a fewlodges to not to hold an event, because the local fair was outside. To make it easier for lodges topick-up and return the equipment, each area now has a set of equipment. Sometimes, the lines atevents get very long, so this past year, a couple of lodges experimented using USB thumb drivesinstead of the traditional CD-Rs. This made the process a bit faster, but after extensive research,the thumb drives were determined to be too costly. HOWEVER, IF A LODGE WISHES TOPURCHASE THUMB DRIVES, AND USE THEM, THEY CAN. As we begin 2020, the plan will beto have at least one training session in each area. Also, it is important that each lodge get theirevent on the KidsID calendar, because most of the events are done on the weekend. For thoselarge events, we are going to use 5 computers, when possible, but you will need to make thatrequest, when you register your event.During, 2019, we completed 43 events, Providing, 992 KidsID kits. Over the past ten years,lodges have completed 349 events, providing 14,247 KidsID kits to parents. Through these years,and based on the amount of equipment, lodges have been very successful. Each Master shouldbe proud of their lodge, and for helping to keeping its communities most valuable resource safe.Finally, I would like to think the Grand Master, and the corporate board, for providing this mostworthwhile tool, KidsID, to the lodges.

Respectfully submitted,John L. Cook, Jr., P.G.M.KidsID State Coordinator

Report of the Finance CommitteeThe Finance Committee is charged with the stewardship of the funds entrusted to the GrandLodge by its members. During the year 2019-2020, we carefully observed the expenditures of theGrand Lodge, sought economies and implemented them. Certain costs have increased and othershave diminished, producing savings. We have continued to meet the budget guidelines.We continue to see a decline in membership and with it the resulting decrease in income. Facingthis challenge and others we are forced to take a serious look at our expenses and programs. Inperusing the budget you will note several changes and consolidations to allow us continuedrevitalization of our craft and merging of some of the work of the committees, yet working toward agoal of a balanced budget.The Finance Committee makes the following recommendations: 1. That the Grand Treasurer be authorized to disburse Grand Lodge funds for all

normal and necessary expenses for the months of March and April 2020 or untilsuch time as the Grand Lodge holds its next Annual Communication.

2. That the Brethren, at this Annual Communication, approve the expenditures for thoseareas that exceeded the budget in this past year. (A detailed list of expenditurescompared to budgeted amounts can be found in the financial statements, elsewherein the preprinted booklet.)

We ask that the Grand Lodge support the proposed General Fund and Benevolence Fundbudgets for the next year as we continue to make some changes in programs and work onconsolidating our efforts and controlling our costs..

Respectfully submitted,Rolf M. Widstrand Sr. Grand Warden, Chairman

Report of the Area Deputy - District Representative ChairmanThe duties of this committee are diverse and include the coordination of the various activities ofthe Area Deputies and District Representatives. These activities are regularly reported to theCorporate Board. The committee is composed of the AD/DR Coordinator, all Area Deputies, theChairman of the Board of Custodians, and the Junior Grand Warden.

The training of District Representatives and Area Deputies is an ongoing process, which takesmany forms. Primary among these is the AD/DR Conference, held each February. At that event,the ADs and DRs learn their duties of office, and receive instruction. Topics of current importanceare reviewed and discussed. Further, the Area Deputies meet several times each year to trackthe progress made on the improvement goals we have set. Similarly, each AD meets quarterlywith his DRs to discuss lodge issues and potential solutions. In February 2020, we added a newcomponent to this training process, by expanding the AD/DR Conference and inviting new(defined as 3 years in office or less) DRs to a special training session to review the basic duties of


the position. This training was well received, and likely will continue in the future.

This year, we have focused on working with Lodges on leadership by assisting with officermeetings and term planning. This aligns with the Grand Master’s programs regarding leadershipand membership and has resulted in Lodges being better prepared with term calendars whichreflect the desires of the members. Additionally, we have continued to place focus on schools ofinstruction this term. The DRs have worked closely with the Custodians and Monitors to increasethe number of schools in each area, and to gain participation from several Lodges at each school.In some cases, combining the Masters and Wardens meeting with the school of instruction hasbenefited attendance at both events. Finally, the ADs and DRs have continued to serve as thementors for the leadership in each Lodge, providing assistance and guidance wherever needed.This year, that assistance has included the opportunity to act as mediator in several situationswhere disharmony between Brothers was causing fractures in the Lodge. While these can bedifficult problems, we encourage Lodges to reach out to their DRs and ADs for assistance if suchissues crop up.

I would like to thank the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Past Grand Masters, Liaison, AreaDeputies, and District Representatives for their assistance in making this a successful year.

We wish to thank the following Brothers who have completed many years of service to the GrandLodge, and who are retiring from their positions:

AD/DR Chairman, AD At-Large WB Chuck BrustArea Deputy – Metro East WB Joe KivensDistrict Representative – District 6 WB Ron BurnardDistrict Representative – District 9 WB Jesse Hopkins-HoelDistrict Representative – District 23 WB Andy HarriesDistrict Representative – District 34 WB Steve Keister

More importantly, Iwant to thank all the men who continue to work to assist the Masons of Minnesota and ourconstituent Lodges in improving the quality of work presented to our newly admitted brothers, asthey begin this journey which has so enriched all of us who practice it’s principals in our dailylives. The numbers of our craft may tell one story, but the resolve of the brethren who composeour craft tell another. They tell of the great role that Masonry continues to play in the lives of menall through this wonderful State and of the important role our lodges play in the communities whichthese dedicated brothers serve. Truly the lessons of our gentle craft are as important as theyhave ever been, and truly society continues to need the succor of Masonic fellowship, perhapsmore than ever before.

On January 31st, 2020 and February 1st ,2020 the annual Monitors Exams were held at theMasonic Heritage Center. Ten Custodians and eight Monitors were present to assist. Bro. TySchmidt from Nelson Lodge #135 was tested and found proficient on the 2nd degree and hasearned the title of 2nd Grade Monitor. Congratulations Ty!!!

Report of Minnesota DeMolay2019 was a fantastic year for Minnesota DeMolay. Not only was it the 100th Anniversary ofDeMolay International, but we also had our fourth year in a row of positive growth! This growth isalso being seen around DeMolay International with many more jurisdictions reaching positivegrowth this year.

At Conclave 2019, Ender Wichlacz (Duluth Chapter) finished his term as State Master Councilorand his successor, Sam Burrows (Anoka Chapter) was elected and installed as the 2019-2020State Master Councilor. Additionally, Jaiden Smith (Robbinsdale Chapter) and Alon Alkalai(Robbinsdale Chapter) were elected and installed as State Senior and Junior Councilors. We continue to focus on leadership development with the help of the endowment fund from theGrand Lodge of Minnesota. We again held DeMolay University where the DeMolay from all thechapters of the state learned various leadership development skills from other DeMolay leadersbrought in from all over the country, including the Executive Director of DeMolay International.Also, we again sponsored several DeMolay and an advisor to attend the week-long Great PlainsDeMolay Leadership Camp in Oklahoma.

We would like to thank every Lodge, Chapter and appendant body that has continued tocontribute space, time, energy, and funds in support of the programming and success for theyoung men in Minnesota DeMolay. There are a few standouts this year of Masons going aboveand beyond to help Masonic Youth:

● This year we began a new program of providing t-shirts at every event we have held. Tofund this program, we sought out donations for sponsorship of these shirts. I would like togive a special Thank You to the Saint Paul Court of Amaranth, Selim Grotto, and ThomasHendrickson, PGM for your generous shirt sponsorships. Your funds helped us distributeover 500 shirts and purchase equipment used to produce our own shirts onsite at events.● St John’s Lodge #1 in Stillwater was host to two events in 2019. While their Lodge doesnot have a direct sponsored chapter, they still find ways to support our kids. We held aMurder Mystery Dinner, combined with a lock-in sleepover and then held our annualSweetheart Formal there later in the year. On both occasions, the brothers of St John’s


stepped up by cooking and serving dinner to the youth. You guys are the best! Thank you!● Selim Grotto attended DeMolay Conclave for a cookout of burgers and hot dogs for theDeMolay. This was the third year of providing food to hungry boys at Conclave. Thank youfor the outstanding support.● As usual, the Scottish Rite has been extremely supportive by allowing DeMolay to holddinners, degrees, sleepovers, meetings, etc in the various Scottish Rite facilities aroundthe state. ● At the DeMolay International Centennial Celebration in Kansas City, the BonesBrothers, a Masonic BBQ team volunteered to take a couple days off of work, pull thesmoker and enclosed trailer to Kansas City and assist with preparing and serving for theapproximately 2000 people in attendance. A huge thank you goes out to the BonesBrothers for their excellent and ongoing support of Masonic Youth

As Masons, we are building a better world by building better men. And throughout our lessons weteach a man to build his own temple of life. But in order to build a strong building, one most startwith a strong foundation. Brothers, “There is No Stronger Foundation” upon which to base one’slife than that of our Masonic Youth Groups. The lessons imparted to these kids are lessons basedon Masonic principles. The skills they learn, the fraternal bonds they form, and the memoriesmade with their extended worldwide family are gifts that cannot be measured by any unit ofcurrency. While we have left our Centennial year behind us, we now are looking forward to thenext hundred years. We must continue to focus on growth and sharing the gift that is MasonicYouth.

Thank you brothers, for all you do, but more especially for what you do for our Masonic Youth.Fraternally submitted,Aaron BrendelExecutive Officer — Minnesota DeMolay

Today, 100 years later, the administrationand staff of the Home continue to deliver on the original promise of the Home, which was and is:to provide a safe, secure, caring environment where each person is valued and cared for withcompassion.

Report of the Membership CommitteeThe Membership Committee consists of Joe Amos, Kris Pich, Carlos Scott and Chris Wendover.

The committee worked on the following:

The committee is continuing to review the documents under the membership section on the GrandLodge website. The committee is currently trying to condense these items down to three to fivedocuments to present to lodges to assist them with retention of current members and therecruitment of new members.

The committee is working on a video. The video will be a recruitment and retention tool. Thevideo will consist of interviews of Brothers answering questions such as why they joined Masonry,what they have learned from it, why they continue to participate in masonry, Etc.

The committee is also in the process of arranging a state-wide or regional membershipconferences with the possibility of partnering with other Grand Lodge committees.

The committee is discussing how to best utilize the Be a Freemason.org initiative.Respectfully submitted, Kris Pich, Co-ChairJoe Amos, Co-Chair

Report of Job’s DaughtersThis last year has been very busy for Minnesota Job’s Daughters. We would first like to thank allof the Masons of Minnesota for the support they have given our organization. Whether it beattending our meetings and events, letting us use your lodge buildings, financially supporting ourendeavors, or being an active mentor to our girls, please know that you are making a BIGdifference in the lives of our members. I am excited to report that for the first time in many years we have seen a positive increase in ourmembership!! We currently have 173 members and 12 active Bethels throughout the state. Thispast year we were able to take one of our Bethels out of reorganization and add them to ourhealthy Bethel list. Our goal is to continue this membership growth and we are hopeful that wecan work together in accomplishing this. A couple of years ago, Job’s Daughters opened up ourdoors to no longer limit membership to those with a Masonic relationship, but to allow girls to jointhrough Masonic sponsorship. All it takes is a Mason to agree to sponsor the Daughter; to serveas her Masonic mentor. This is a great win for both of our organizations. Not only do we expandour membership, their fathers, grandfathers, uncles and brothers become exposed to the Masonic

family and many wish to join; helping both of our organizations grow! Our girls have been very busy this year with our normal activities such as camp, prospect events,and promotional events. We even held a statewide throwback meeting where we used rituals ofthe past to show how our organization has changed over the years. One of the things we sawprosper in Minnesota this year was our philanthropy work. The girls worked to help many localcharities, but also stepped up with Job’s Daughters Philanthropic project, the HIKE (HearingImprovement Kid’s Endowment) Fund. Minnesota was recognized for being in the top 5 states fordonations, with donations of $11,823.97. We even had two of our girls recognized for theirpersonal efforts of raising over $1,000 each toward this fund. Last August, approximately 50 individuals travelled to Overland Park, Kansas for our InternationalSession. Many of our members took part in ritual or arts and crafts competitions, earningnumerous awards for their efforts. Our 2019-2020 Miss Minnesota Job’s Daughter Julie Zeidlercompeted in the Miss International Job’s Daughter pageant and received first place in the ritualportion of the competition. It was exciting for our members to see so many from our jurisdictionrecognized at the international level. The highlight of the week was when our own GabriellaDimatteo was selected as Supreme Bethel Honored Queen. She has spent the last year travelingthe world promoting and representing Job’s Daughters. We look forward to attending SupremeSession in July 2020 in Omaha, Nebraska for the 100th anniversary celebration of Job’sDaughters, where Gabbi will preside over the meeting for all of the members around the world.Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported her in this adventure. Minnesota is veryproud of her! This year our Executive Board went through a long-range planning process to ensure we aremeeting the needs and goals of our membership. Some of the areas of focus that we identifiedare increasing our membership and the health of our Bethels, continuing our focus on how tomarket our organization and evolve our online presence, and most importantly, improving theleadership programs/opportunities for the Daughters, as well as, more structured training for theadults volunteers. To help in meeting these goals, we have worked hard this year to increase ourpromotional efforts and communication methods with the youth; including increasing our socialmedia presence and developing a new website we are about ready to launch. We have alsodeveloped leadership events to be held throughout the next year.As we enter our 100th year of Job’s Daughters, we are able to look back and reflect on thesuccesses of those that came before us, and we are confident that we are doing our role increating new leaders for tomorrow. Please tell your friends and family with young women betweenthe ages of 10 and 20 about the sisterhood and leadership opportunities of our organization. And,remember that as Masons you are always welcome to attend a Bethel meeting and showencouragement to our members. Thank you to the Grand Lodge and Masons of Minnesota for your support of Job’s Daughters!

Report of the Leadership CommitteeThe design of the Masonic Institution is to make it votaries wiser, better and consequently happier.This was the mission, the focus to provide valuable content and guidance to those who asked forhelp. We continued our three-year commitment by visiting Lodges, creating valuable content fortwo Area Leadership Conferences and some visual reference aids as well. The sole mission in ourprior work was to understand what Masonry in Minnesota needed from the Grand Lodge. The“grassroots” or back to basics approach was what seemed to rise to the forefront as a need. Thedesign was to provide an experience with our Lodge Brethren showing interest in increasingLodge functions and activities to more especially drive growth, some common bonds of successwere shared. We used those things from Lodges who are thriving to share with the Lodges whoare not! One concern we have is after the first visit, how to collectively support a Lodge after weare gone… is it the duty of the Leadership Committee to inquire or the Lodge to reach out...that isa debate that will continue. From your petition process to effective meetings and social functionsof fellowship; we have determined it is the zeal for the institution of Freemasonry that drives oursuccess, promotes the Brothers who are hungry and mentor the Brothers who need more light!



The Masonic Intuition would and will greatly increase when we learn to; Focus on the harmony ofour Brothers with the tenets of Freemasonry. Begin cultivating ritual practices as the basis of ourculture and not something we have to do to raise a Brother. Education, that “more light inMasonry” belief that we, from it we are truly wiser, better and happier! Leadership training shouldbegin the day you raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason!

We had success sharing our developed content of “Lodge Etiquette” & “Masters Ancient Charges”in bookmark form, our jump-drive continued in popularity. We plan to create an inventory for theGrand Lodge Office, with reorder points to maintain the accessibility of these items for ourBrother’s future uses. It is highly recommended we remember that though the Leadership contentand effective measures to run a Masonic Lodge have changed little over the years...it is the mouthto ear practices of this belly to belly business that is so revered and needed. Be patient with yourless experienced Brother, guide him against his faults! For it is the universal benevolence you arealways to inculcate; and, by the regularity of your own behavior, afford the best example of theconduct of other less informed!

Report of the Mentor CommitteeMentoring - Tyle your Lodge’s backdoor - Three years ago, this committee started the development of a process to help lodges buildstronger mentoring program with the belief that it will help everything from leadership tomembership. But more importantly to help each candidate find a pathway for their own pursuitswithin Masonry. Within our work the following have been implemented:

• A presentation binder- a “Masonic Keepsake” as well as an educational tool• Material access for Lodge leadership- Flash drives and a new easier to navigate webaccess as well as easy to print system• Awareness of the program by providing mentoring system presentations throughoutthe state by the team.• Availability – by having printed, assembled and delivered binders by team membersthrough budget subsidy

Our main goal always being the constant evolving processes of mentoring. This year our additionsto section 9 or mentoring leadership will hopefully help each lodge grasp a step by step processas we continue to develop it further with guidance and input. The ‘I Can” competency along with acheck list will provide guidance for Lodge leaders in building their mentoring programs.

Additionally, we began working internally with chairs from both membership and leadership hasproviding us with additional feedback, ideas and goals.

In the upcoming year our goal is to present to Lodges leadership and LEO training that will just notinclude all the tools above but how to build mentoring team within your Lodge.

Once again, thank you to the ADs & DRs for their foundational support of our program, as well ascontinued stewardship of its use.

Your mentoring team members serving this year included; Jason Lang, Garrett Aalfs, DarrylSchmidt, Bob Davis, Leigh Shebeck, Evan Lindberg and Doug Kuchera.

Lodges presented to this year include;Trinity Lodge No. 282 (Duluth)Ancient Landmark No. 5 (St. Paul)Sibley Lodge No. 209 (Winthrop)

Report of the Grand Lodge Education OfficerThe year behind us has been dedicated to fulfilling the aspiration of all brethren, to “Seek MoreLight.” From articles aimed at all Minnesota Masons to those pieces for Lodge Education Officers,everything provided and shared, be it in print or electronic forms, has been designed to build uponthe prior firm foundations of Masonic education laid straight and true by prior Grand LodgeEducation Officers.

Minnesota Mason Newspaper:Despite its analog format, the Grand Lodge Education Officer’s column continues to be the mostwidely distributed educational resource intended for, and reaching, all Minnesota Masons. As hasbeen emphasized before, all Masons are highly encouraged to submit educational works on alltopics for publication in the column to share more light in Masonry. (See “Minnesota MasonicWriter’s Guild” below)

The Masonic Conundrum continues to serve as a gateway to Masonic research for all. Somequestions were aimed at esoteric and admittedly obscure items of interest, others to encouragemore general knowledge. This past year, as in 2018, many answers were submitted by brotherswho had never delved into masonic research before and now are encouraged to continue theirown research. One Conundrum was submitted by a Brother and all Masons are encouraged tosubmit Masonic Conundrums for future use in upcoming issues.

Minnesota eMasonThe monthly eMason column has increased its “opening” rate as more brethren realize this work isa convenient way to gain educational information of use to themselves and for LEO’s to provide totheir Lodges, as well as gaining more knowledge. We again had several guest pieces submitted,including some from other Grand Lodge jurisdictions this past year and hope this will become atrend.

Monthly Masonic Education BulletinThis monthly bulletin aimed specifically for LEO’s has continued to be sent out in all but June, July& August for their use. Topics continue to vary each month in order to provide as wide a variety ofeducational topics as possible. It has allowed other Masonic writers an avenue to “publish” theirworks and research findings, and the distribution list has grown 25% in the past year, includingGrand Lodge educators from other jurisdictions as well as nationally recognized Masoniceducators.

Minnesota Masonic Writers GuildThe Minnesota Masonic Writers Guild has gratifyingly grown over the past year, with a number ofnew members from both within Minnesota and from around the country. As word spreads thatthose who have had their work published either in physical or digital format have earnedadmission and the accompanying recognition pin, we hope to see more submissions andsubsequent growth in Guild membership.

Masonic Speakers Bureau



The Speakers Bureau has continued to grow over the past year, with six speakers available on avariety of topics. These speakers include two Past Grand Masters and three very highly qualifiedBrothers who can bring Lodges talks on a plethora of topics! Their names are routinely publishedacross the eMason, Monthly Lodge Education Bulletin and Minnesota Mason. Lodge EducationOfficers are encouraged to reach out and invite these speakers to your next Communication orevent.

Masonic Light AwardThe Masonic Light Award Program under the guidance of WB Rick Vance had seven brothersenroll in the last year. There were no new recipients, though, in 2019. There are currently 157brothers enrolled and 28 brothers have earned the Masonic Light Award since its inception in1994.

The Masonic Light Award Program is an outstanding outline or syllabus for brothers both new andold to follow a path that leads to more light in Masonry. The Masonic Light Award Program willenrich the Lodge Education program in every lodge where brothers are enrolled. Lodge Masters,Wardens, and Lodge Education Officers are encouraged to inform new Brothers about theprogram and help them enroll. If you want to learn more call Masonic Light Award Programcoordinator Rick Vance at 952 210-8743 or look at the Masonic Education link https://www.mn-masons.org/home/member-resources/masonic-education/masonic-light-award/ on the GrandLodge of Minnesota website.

Wayfaring Man WB Terrance Schaffer reports that once again the Wayfaring Man Program had a good year,seeing 20+ New Members joining a couple of completions to the Program this year. A lot ofinterest is still being made around the state regarding the Program and not just in the Twin Citiesarea as Brothers in the more rural areas are joining as well.

The changes made a couple of years ago to the criteria has really seen a growth in activities asthere are now more ways to complete aspects of the requirements, and even some of the long-term members have begun doing things now that there are new opportunities to complete them.

Total Number of Enrollees: 193Total Additions for 2019: 22Program Completions: 2 in 2019 (16 Total)

Social MediaThe Minnesota Lodge Education Officers Facebook page has been quietly active. LEO’s who areactive on that platform are again urged to join the page and share their work, thoughts and ideas.Please look for “MN Masonic Lodge Education Officers” and join your fellow LEO’s for thoughtfuldiscussion and sharing.

Educating the EducatorsTime after time and survey after survey has shown that one of the keys to retaining Masons andkeeping them active is to give them a wide variety of thoughtful and meaningful Lodge educationexperiences. Brothers are thirsting for more education and light in Masonry. Many report losinginterest quickly when the educational component of the Craft is overlooked or ill-provided. Thosewho are newer to the Craft often report joining out of a desire to truly educate themselves andthose Lodges with robust educational programs report great success at retention and engagementby newer masons.Over the next 12 months a new program to enhance the Lodge education experience will bedeveloped. Building on the LEO Symposiums that were held periodically a number of years ago,this program will be a key way to give Lodge Education Officers throughout the state the tools andtraining necessary to help raise the Lodge education experience and to make all Lodge EducationOfficers the vital part of Lodge masonry the Minnesota Masonic Code sees them as being.

This past year has allowed me the opportunity to visit and speak at several Lodges throughout thestate. More importantly, it’s given me the chance to meet and talk face-to-face with more ofMinnesota’s LEO’s and other Brothers and to learn from each and every one of you. You have all,collectively, helped me do my job for you better and for that you have my deepest Masonicgratitude. I look forward to another year in your service as we collectively continue to Seek MoreLight, Quarite plus lucem.

Very respectfully submittedAndrew S. NiemyerGrand Lodge Education Officer

Report of the Office Management CommitteeThe Office Management Committee is to oversee the functions and activities of the Grand Lodgeoffice. In doing so, the needs of individual members, Constituent Lodges and the Grand Lodge areevaluated and met.

The Grand Lodge office strives to operate in an efficient and expeditious manner. Our GrandSecretary, RWB Keith Reierson was assisted this past years by WB Peter B. Van Osdol. Masonsand others benefit from the professional management skills, and years of experience that theseBrothers possess and share. Favorable comments from Constituent Lodges as well asrepresentatives of other jurisdictions confirm that we as Minnesota Masons continue to benefitfrom one of the best managed and most respected Grand Lodge offices.

This year, as in others, the office workload continued to increase. Technology played an ever-greater role in fraternal life and business, including a complete new platform for the Grand Lodgewebsite. The Office Management Committee is pleased to report that the Grand Lodge Office hasbeen more than equal to the challenges of the added work and responsibility. Grand SecretaryReierson continues to ably oversee the operation of the Grand Lodge office with great dedicationand style.

The committee wishes to thank our Grand Lodge office staff and encourages each of you to join inthanking all of them.

We all know change is inevitable. Some time ago, RWB Doug Campbell announced his intentionto retire from the position of Grand Treasurer. A search committee was promptly appointed and,working with the Corporate Board, identified and interviewed several candidates. After theappropriate processes were completed, we were pleased to offer the position to WB Kris Pich.After consideration of other factors, WB Kris withdrew from consideration. Search for a newTreasurer continued and the committee recommended WB Frank Spevak. All who know WBFrank are familiar with his skills and dedication to the Craft, and are confident that the GrandLodge office will continue to be served by excellent brothers.

RWB Doug’s leadership, guidance, mentoring, and wise counsel have been invaluable toinnumerable Brothers throughout Minnesota and beyond. He has faithfully represented MinnesotaMasons for decades both as Grand Secretary and Grand Treasurer, and for that, we all areforever grateful.

Further, the Office Management committee worked with a subcommittee to evaluate the membermanagement system for the Grand Lodge office. After consideration of the changes required forour current system and evaluation of the usefulness of other systems used throughout thefraternity, we accepted and recommended the implementation of Grandview as the managementsystem for Grand Lodge and its implementation through the Grand Lodge office.

Please refer questions and compliments pertaining to the Grand Lodge Office to R.W.B. KeithReierson at 952-948-6700, or by email at [email protected].

Report of the Committee on Perpetual Life MembershipFor more than sixty years, the Grand Lodge of Minnesota has kept a solemn obligation to payperpetual life member dues to our lodges. This sacred trust is based upon a desire to sustain ourlodges funding stream from membership dues and to assist our members in leaving a continuinglegacy for their lodge knowing that even with infirmities of age or limited financial resources thattheir membership in the constituent lodge would never lapse. Your Perpetual Life MembershipCommittee and Grand Lodge Officers continue to reaffirm their commitment to this trust (for the12th time) with a cash infusion of $133,340.75 from our Grand Lodge Reserve Fund to rebuildmembers equity. Overall this past year our fund investment return was a positive 22.31% which isnear record highs. Again this year the fund continues to pay only for perpetual life membershipobligations payable to our lodges for living members until net equity has grown sufficiently tomake member death benefit payments.

Our Perpetual Life Membership Program (formerly Pre-paid Dues Fund) continues to grow andpresently has 3,539 members an increase of 13 over the previous year. Statistical informationshows that currently the weighted average dues of all our lodges is $107.69 (in 2018 $105.60).Three years ago, this was $89.50 which shows the significant increase by lodges of their duesover the past few years. The weighted average of dues for our living life members $97.81 (in 2017$94.92) again a significant increase over three years ago of $73.52. To understand thesignificance of these figures we need to remember that the average dues of living members at thetime of joining the fund was $48.55; this is an increase of $46.37 or nearly 49.63%. Unfortunately,the fund has not been able to sustain the cost of this increase with investment returns over thepast dozen or more years.

Presently there are 1,381 (last year 2018 - 1,411) living members as of 12-31-19 and 2,137members deceased (a mortality rate of 60.64%). There has been a steady increase in the ratio ofdeceased members to living members (e.g. in 2002 we had 29% ratio).

By direction of the Corporate Board of Trustees under Sec. G22.8 (h), due to the current$636,031.11 negative equity in the fund, no pay outs were made for deceased members. $606.00was due lodges for one time pay-in, and $697.00 was paid to the Grand Lodge for administrationcost. Total payout was $135,073.25 for this past year (two years ago in 2018 year it was$133,931.25). Presently the fund surplus (total funds less member’s net equity) remains at anegative $636,031.11. By comparison sixteen years ago in 2001 this was a scant negative$30,099. Discussions continue with members of the Corporate Board. As necessary we willcontinue to recommend yearly direct cash infusions from the Grand Lodge Reserve Fund until thefund is able to pay its obligations to the constituent lodges from investment returns. Until this year,for the previous 11 years, we have invoked the provisions of the General Regulations 68 SectionG22.06(b) which allow for incremental increases in payment of a member’s dues to be capped at5% per year of the dues increase in effect by the constituent lodge.

Finally, we would also remind the brethren that Memorial Life memberships may be purchased for$100 or more in memory of a deceased brother by the Lodge, a brother Mason or the Mason’sfamily or friends. Likewise, Honorary Life Memberships are also available for purchase in honor orrecognition of outstanding service to Masonry of a member by the Constituent Lodge, a brotherMason or a Mason’s family and friends. For the year 2020 we are recommending the continuationof the following incentives to this program: 1) The Perpetual Life Membership Program willcontinue to accept credit card payments of fees and allow for installment payments of up to 4years at no interest, although lodge dues must continue to be paid by the individual until the entirePerpetual Life Membership fee is paid in full. 2) Memorial Life Memberships will start with aminimum memorial payment of $100.

The Numerical Report of the Perpetual Life Membership (Prepaid) Dues Committee is attachedfor your information. It has been prepared by our Grand Secretary Keith W. Reierson and Grand

42

Treasurer, Douglas J. Campbell. The Committee would like to extend its appreciation to ourGrand Secretary and Grand Treasurer for their diligent work and accounting of this program. OurCommittee continues to hope that many more of the nearly 10,000 Masons of Minnesota who arenot a part of this program will see its value and want to join. In closing the Perpetual LifeMembership Committee would like to remind our Brothers that all monies in this program areinvested by the Grand Lodge and held in trust in the name of the Constituent Lodges.

Fraternally yours,Robert L. Peterson, P.M., Neil Neddermeyer, P.G.M.Douglas Campbell, Grand TreasurerTerry L. Tilton, P.G.M., Chairman

Report of the Communications CommitteeOver the past year, the Communication Committee has been hard at work coordinating withrepresentatives from the various Appendant and Concordant bodies to develop an effective andefficient process for disseminating communications. The goal is to enhance the two-way flow ofinformation between the Grand Lodge, the Blue Lodges and the Appendant and Concordantbodies as inclusively as possible.


The Big Tent of Masonry concept only works by making each segment of Minnesota Masonryaware of, and hopefully supportive of one another. Fortunately, there already exist vehicles ofcommunication within the present structure that can be utilized once the process is communicatedto everyone involved.

Last summer’s reconstruction of the Grand Lodge website introduced a friendlier user interface forthose wanting to add Lodge or affiliated body events to the Grand Lodge calendar. Additionalimprovements, such as filtering by event category and type, map based searches for nearbyevents, and a dedicated form for uploading flyers, are expected to be added over the comingmonths. We will continue to work with the Grand Lodge technology committee to suggestadditional functionality for the website, and will continue promoting its use for calendar events andflyer uploads.

The eMason newsletter continues to see incremental improvements, both to its design andcontent. This past year saw the introduction of The Practicing Freemason newsletter, written byW. Brother Matt Gallagher of Arcana Lodge No. 187. The Practicing Freemason is a monthlyfeature, offering insights into Masonry, tips on Lodge management, topics for discussion, and funideas to take back to one’s home lodge. It has quickly become a favorite segment of the monthlyeMason.

One final note, after years of dedicated service, W. Brother Al Farmer has decided to step downas a member of the Communication Committee. WB Al’s contributions to this committee,especially as the proofreader for the eMason, have been tremendously important to our ongoingwork, and we would like to thank him for his service.

Grand Master’s Jewel Presentation Most Worshipful Brother David E. Olson then presented Most Worshipful Brother Ethan A.Seaberg with the Grand Lodge of Minnesota’s Grand Master’s jewel:

Grand MasterThis is the Jewel of Minnesota Masonry, presented by the craft, to be worn by theGrand Master of Minnesota in the performance of his duties for the Craft. Its weight isa reminder of his obligations and the source of his authority.The leather is battle worn, indicating that the humble and intense service of yourpredecessors is expected of those who would wear it.The jewel has amazing clarity and value, denoting the clarity of thought demanded ofyou and the value the craft places in your decisions and leadership.The badge is tarnished, not only from the errors of each of its wearers, but also fromthe many tears each has shed for the craft.The Past Grand Masters join with me in the admonition to wear this badge of officewith pride and honor, acting with kindness and knowledge, and above all beinghumble and acting with fairness to all.Godspeed my brother!

Grand Master Seaberg’s Remarks Brethren, I have just a few comments. I thought I might save my hours’ long profound

58

remarks for a time in the future. I wanted to thank all of you, especially, all of the officersappointed and elected, for your willingness to serve this Grand Lodge. As MWB Davenoted, we came together last year under very difficult circumstance and those of youwho worked with all of us were just a delight. So, I thank you for that, and I look forwardto those of us who are continuing to serve, to do so in the highest standard.

This is not the format we would have chosen to have this election. I would have loved toshake Dave’s hand, but we’ll do this as we always do as Masons, together. And we’lllook forward to that time later this year when we can celebrate together. I have aspecial thanks to MWB Dave and the installation team. Thank you to John, Jim, andSteve, I appreciate so very much your ability to be here and your willingness to do thiswork today. A very special thanks on behalf of the 10,200 or so Masons of Minnesota,to RWB Keith Reierson, who over this last month has, it’s an understatement to say,he’s done Yeoman’s work. So, thank you Keith for that.

I’m also in a unique position that not many Masons are, and I should add this while I’mhere, I’d be remiss if I didn’t, to be able to serve as a Grand Master with your father as aGrand Lodge Officer, and I’m very grateful for that. The funny thing is, he’s just fourdoors down the street and I can’t go down there and shake his hand just yet. And to mywife Karen, who’s upstairs making sure the dogs don’t bark. She’s remarked the lastfew weeks are likely the most time we’ve spent together in the last twenty years, and forher willingness to allow me to do the things that I do, I thank her so very much.

There being no further business, at least for the immediate future, but with many thingsto come, thank you all again for your time today. Thank you for your willingness toserve, and I will look forward to shaking each and every one of your hands as soon asCOVID-19 will allow. Thank you.

All business having been disposed of, the 167th annual Communication of the Most WorshipfulGrand Lodge of Minnesota was closed at 2:44 p.m. in ample form by the Grand Master, MostWorshipful Brother Ethan A. Seaberg.
