Last Night I was Elected and Installed as King of Lansdale Royal Arch Chapter No 301. We also Elected a new MEHP and Scribe. Unfortunately our new MEHP (Who is also my Senior Warden in Blue Lodge) is still recovering from COVID 19 he contracted over the week of Christmas. Hopefully next month he will be in better health and able to be Installed and start his already delayed year.
