In this time of the pandemic, and lodge is not in session, who checks and sees that the older brethren are ok and has what they need ?
It's a really good question.In this time of the pandemic, and lodge is not in session, who checks and sees that the older brethren are ok and has what they need ?
While I do not wish to highjack the thread it is worth noting that in some states people over 60 can attend classes at state supported colleges on a space available basis with out paying tuition. I do this at my local university.* I am in a program for a degree in Pastoral Ministry that is heavily subsidized by the local diocese. My job requires that I continually take college courses, and, being a generally cheap person, I find heavily subsidized to be an attractive feature in a college program.

You make a good point, I don't know that anyone, at my Lodge, is doing this. I have gotten a few gently hints dropped on me about becoming the Chaplin; so I suspect that this might actually be my job.* I will contact the Secretary and discuss it with him.
. . . . Wow did that ever get a fast response! As an example of the," He who names it, owns it" rule, yep, it's my job. A list is being put together right now.

if it is to be it is up to me ! (or in this case, I am happy to say, you .. but I would recommend you enlist some helpers..)
Short, unobtrusive and to the point. I'll use this one myself.I’ve been saying, “This is Glen Cook. Is Robert Smith available? Hi, Brother Smith. Just checking on members of the Scottish Rite. Everything okay? (Replies). Give me a holler if we can be of service. “
I wouldn't introduce yourself as Bro Cook thoughShort, unobtrusive and to the point. I'll use this one myself.
Far too many people hang up on you when you do that.I wouldn't introduce yourself as Bro Cook though
