Your District Planner for the week of August 30, 2026

Good morning, Brothers of the 5th District! As we close out August, many of our lodges return to labor during the next couple of weeks. It seems like a good time to kick off the weekly district planner communication (I know you all secretly missed this)! It's a pretty light week this week, and verify with the lodges if you plan to visit, but this is what I have at the moment:

• 9/1: Bryan Lodge No. 215 Stated Meeting @ 7:30p
• 9/1: Napoleon Lodge No. 256 Stated Meeting @ 7:30p
• 9/3: En Sa Woc Sa Chapter No. 89 Stated Meeting @ 7:30p
• 9/5: Omega Lodge No. 564 Stated Meeting @ 9a
• 9/5: Wauseon York Rite Chapter/Council, following breakfast at 9a

As always, a couple of reminders to pass along:

• With the DGM Rollout programs wrapping up yesterday, the whole program, along with the Grand Masters Award requirements, lapel pin design, etc., will be on Grandview on September 1.
• The District Association Annual meeting and election of officers will be on September 19, 2026 at Wauseon Lodge. The start time is 10am, attire is business casual.
• The DEOs will be holding the last of the workshops for the Masonic year on September 19 also. The Deacons & Wardens workshop will start after the Annual meeting finishes, which should be about 11am.
• Last, mark your calendars for the Past Master Convocation on December 5, 2026. The location will change this year to Napoleon Lodge. New Masters must attend, even if you were a master the previous year.

That is all I have for now. I did get the revamped District website posted a few weeks ago, check it out and let me know what you think!
