Dear Brethren,
In the past, the Fifth Masonic District has had a fund raiser to gather money to support the Grand Master's chosen charity for the year. Two years ago we had candles and last year we had the Carruth stone decorations. This year, Most Worshipful Brother Robert C. Rill, Jr. and his wife Jennifer's chosen charity is the Ohio Masonic Homes. Right Worshipful Brother Walter Schilb had graciously donated fifty CD's of him performing some of his favorite tunes on primarily piano, but also guitar and even marimba song. Some of these include: Ain't Misbehavin', Satin Doll, Georgia on My Mind, Margaritaville, and many others (a total of 16 tunes). We would like to sell these at $10 each, which would generate $500 which we could give to MWB Rill at the Grand Masters Reception on April 1 for the Ohio Masonic Homes. Please help us support this most worthy cause. CDs will be available for purchase at the remaining Fifth District inspections, or until supplies are exhausted.
Sincerely
Christian A. King & Robert R. Rettig, D.D.G.M.

The Fifth Masonic District Grand Master's Reception this year will be held in the atrium at Northwest State Community College, Archbold, Ohio (same location as the past two years). The date is set for April 1, 2016 with a social hour beginning at 6:00pm, and dinner at 7:00pm. The cost is $25.00 per person if paid in advance, $30.00 per person if paid the night of the reception. Checks for payment should be made out to "Fifth Masonic District Association".
For the Lodge Secretaries: We are asking each of our district's lodges' secretary to collect payments and maintain a reservation/log sheet for their brothers attending this event. Reservation sheet need not be anything fancy, we
just need name of brother and number attending (i.e. Jim Parsons - 2). Please send your lodge reservation list into Jon Schamp (jon.schamp@gmail.com) no later then Friday, March 11 (Bryan Lodge Inspection Night). Monies collected should be sent to WB Schamp via USPS:
Jon. R. Schamp
1125 Royal Bounty Lane
Wauseon, Ohio 43567
WB Schamp will compile a separate list of attendees for each lodge, so all a brother need do is give his name at the registration table the night of the reception. Please direct questions to:

The Fifth District Education Officers have scheduled this year's workshop for Saturday, January 30 at Napoleon Lodge beginning at 9:00 a.m. Last year, our DEO's with the assistance of several other speakers presented very interesting programs promoting effective leadership for the Deacons and Wardens. Although the material will differ some this year, I'm sure the information presented will be both interesting and educational.
As the program will run into the early afternoon, a lunch will be provided at a nominal cost. To prepare adequately for the workshop and lunch, please let Napoleon Lodge secretary, RWB Doug Eis at
surveyor@henry-net.com know how many will be attending from your lodge.
Please feel free to forward this message to your Deacons and Wardens and encourage them to attend this training as we all seek to improve leadership abilities in each of our lodges.
Fraternally,
Bob Rettig, DDGM
