We can drop to whatever degree we wish to after all business that requires a vote is done. We do not have any ritual in NJ that spells out how to open on the 1st or 2nd. If it isn't in the book, we can't do it.Im glad that both my jurisdictions can open in the 1st. The decision is usually made the night of the meeting depending on who is there, if we are all MMs then we open in the 3rd if a FC ispresent the 2nd...ect. I prefer opening in the 3rd only because it doesn't take as long...lol...But I like the fact we can open so that our EAs and FCs can some, also it gives a litmus test for which of them will be active in the lodge
