So each year there is a Masonic conference held in a moving location being held in Alexandria, VA this year. The conference is known as Conference of Grand Masters of North America. Grand Lodges are sovereign of each other but since the 1950's this conference has been meeting to keep all the recognized GL's of North America on the same page. Grand Masters Conference of North America 2010 I have had the opportunity to attend 2 previous conferences one in Tenn and one in CA. I was asked to speak at the conference in 2006 about community involvement of lodges and the younger Masons perspective. Last year I attended as an elected Grand Lodge officer of Utah and also this year as Deputy Grand Master.
Today was a free day and Kelli and I ran all over DC.
We started our day at the Capitol Building then down the Mall to the GW Monument where the tickets were unfortunately sold out. Better luck in the next couple of days. We hit the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial and Korean War Memorial. After that we jumped the very convenient Metro and scooted out to Arlington Cemetery. We had about an hour but saw the Tomb of the unknown and the JFK plot. Was really a good day. We ended with Frank and Carol Baker over at Bailey's Pub and grill..
Long day but fun.
Meetings start tomorrow...
That's all.
