Grand Lodge of Illinois IOOF

Hello Everyone,

It is getting to be that time of year again when we start preparing for Grand Lodge Sessions.  Please be sure to get your reports in for your lodges and committees if you haven’t done so already.  In September you will be receiving the new Bills and Legislation to be acted upon at the Session in October. If your lodge has any legislation, Bills or Resolutions they want to present please send them to Grand Lodge Officer before September 1, 2022. 

The Rebekahs can join us for Lunch again this year all they have to do is fill out a form and submit either the $20.00 or $30.00 depending on the time frame that they pay. 

You can fill in the registration form on your computer and save under your name and attach it to email and send the registration form back to me,  but don’t forget to mail your checks to the Grand Lodge Office at P.O. Box 248 Lincoln, IL 62656-0248. 

Also attached please find the following.

1. Rebekah Assembly Schedule for Grand Lodge.
2. Odd Fellow Schedule for Grand Lodge.
3. Banquet Ticket information for Grand Lodge.
4. Crowne Plaza Room Reservation Form.
5. A Fillable Registration form for Grand Lodge. $20.00 before September 15^th and $30.00 after September 15^th. That is paid in our office not just the form.
6. Past Grand Certificate for Grand Lodge Degree.
7. Letter from the Grand Secretary with information.
   
   

Brothers & Sisters, facilities, Management Corp, OFRH: Due to continuing issues with Frontier Email system (they use yahoo forwarding) and to create a savings of $1000.00 per year for our email services (Frontier was charging us for 12 email slots when we only needed 4) we made the change. This will be more efficient and cost less so it is a win-win for the Grand Lodge. Please note the new email addresses for Grand Secretary, Janis, and management corp. We will still receive the old emails from the previous email address for 30-60 days but please change over to the new email soon.

In FL&T,

Richard E. Herring’Grand Secretary
