Upcoming Event Spotlight
The 5th District DEOs will be conducting a back-from-summer Deacons & Wardens workshop on the same day and at the same location as the 5th District Annual Meeting at Wauseon Lodge. The anticipated start time is 11 am and the program should run about an hour. The attire is business casual. Whether you are newly appointed to these chairs, are a returning master, or have held these positions before, we encourage you to attend and participate in a "best-practices" workshop and roundtable discussion where your experience may be valuable to a new officer.
