WB Jim Parsons and his officers held a Saturday morning EA degree in great fashion and attention to detail. There were 60 brothers in attendance with 16 Liberty Center Lodge members and 7 Past Masters. We also were treated by the return of Brother Ralph Creager, who was clearly feeling better. The Traveling Trophy stayed with Napoleon #256 with 12 members in attendance. The next inspection will be March 11 at Bryan #215 in the EA degree.

Dear Brethren,
In the past, the Fifth Masonic District has had a fund raiser to gather money to support the Grand Master's chosen charity for the year. Two years ago we had candles and last year we had the Carruth stone decorations. This year, Most Worshipful Brother Robert C. Rill, Jr. and his wife Jennifer's chosen charity is the Ohio Masonic Homes. Right Worshipful Brother Walter Schilb had graciously donated fifty CD's of him performing some of his favorite tunes on primarily piano, but also guitar and even marimba song. Some of these include: Ain't Misbehavin', Satin Doll, Georgia on My Mind, Margaritaville, and many others (a total of 16 tunes). We would like to sell these at $10 each, which would generate $500 which we could give to MWB Rill at the Grand Masters Reception on April 1 for the Ohio Masonic Homes. Please help us support this most worthy cause. CDs will be available for purchase at the remaining Fifth District inspections, or until supplies are exhausted.
Sincerely
Christian A. King & Robert R. Rettig, D.D.G.M.

The Fifth Masonic District Grand Master's Reception this year will be held in the atrium at Northwest State Community College, Archbold, Ohio (same location as the past two years). The date is set for April 1, 2016 with a social hour beginning at 6:00pm, and dinner at 7:00pm. The cost is $25.00 per person if paid in advance, $30.00 per person if paid the night of the reception. Checks for payment should be made out to "Fifth Masonic District Association".
For the Lodge Secretaries: We are asking each of our district's lodges' secretary to collect payments and maintain a reservation/log sheet for their brothers attending this event. Reservation sheet need not be anything fancy, we
just need name of brother and number attending (i.e. Jim Parsons - 2). Please send your lodge reservation list into Jon Schamp (jon.schamp@gmail.com) no later then Friday, March 11 (Bryan Lodge Inspection Night). Monies collected should be sent to WB Schamp via USPS:
Jon. R. Schamp
1125 Royal Bounty Lane
Wauseon, Ohio 43567
WB Schamp will compile a separate list of attendees for each lodge, so all a brother need do is give his name at the registration table the night of the reception. Please direct questions to:
