I agree with the 6 day gripe fest if everyone got a chance to stand up and talk. If you got any good feedback on more things I should know about how to lead brothers to see that they do have a voice PM me. I don't want to derail this thread.

Only the members of the Grand Lodge and the representatives of Texas Lodges are entitled to vote at the Grand Annual Communication.

The "members of the Grand Lodge" are Texas Past Masters.

The "representatives" of the Lodges are those who are sent to Grand Lodge by their Lodges, under certain qualifications.

If the Worshipful Master of the Lodge is present, he casts the vote of the Lodge.

If the Senior Warden is present & the WM is not, the SW casts the vote.

If the JW is present & neither the WM or SW is present, the JW casts the vote.

If none of those officers are present but there is present a member of that Lodge who was elected to hold the Lodge's proxy, that Brother casts the Lodge's vote.

Thank-you brother Bill! That actually helps me out a lot. I'd hate to get hemmed up about it and not be able to explain why we do things the way we do.

Going to go ahead and close the thread. The issue has been extensively discussed, and the vote has already passed. If anyone wants to discuss the outcome, they can start a new thread.
