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

UPDATE: Ralph is being discharged Tuesday (1/26) at 10:30, and has mentioned wanting to attend Inspections for the Lodges in Liberty Center and Napoleon. We look forward to seeing him traveling!
Ralph was transferred late Monday to Kingston Rehabilitation in Perrysburg for help in regaining strength and endurance. Ralph has received several visits from brothers around the ares, which has been very therapeutic for him. Kingston Rehabilitation is located at 345 E. Boundary in Perrysburg. Contact Matt Gloor for the phone number if you would like to call.

- Saturday, February 13,2016 9:00AM to 4:00PM for Becoming Masonry
- Saturday, June 18, 2016 9:00AM to 4:00PM for Masonic Leaders Trestle Board
We can register for these at

If you have not attended A MLB Workshop before you have to attend Becoming Masonry first. It would be great for the Fifth District to have a good showing for this.
