Prince Hall Royal Arch Masonry Donnie Higginbotham and I met with M:. E:. James E. Hubbard Jr., Grand High Priest of Rev. Joseph T. Thornton Most Excellent Grand Chapter, Holy Royal Arch Masons Jurisdiction of Oklahoma Prince Hall, at the Prince Hall Grand Chapter, Holy Royal Arch Session in Tulsa, Oklahoma on June 7, 2010. At this time and place, we signed a compact with M:. E:. James E. Hubbard Jr. I am proud to have had a part in this historical meeting.

State of the Craft and Recommendations The State of the Craft has been improving a little in he last three years. I believe this is due to the programs started by Most Excellent Tim Israel, Past Grand High Priest in 2008-2009., but we still have a long way to go. We cannot continue to do the things we have done in the past and expect the results to be better. I'm sure that at this point in time we all know what is wrong with the system. All of us need to give of ourselves 110% to improve Oklahoma York Rite. Thank you, Ronald L. Carr Grand High Priest Grand Chapter Royal Arch Masons of Oklahoma

REPORT OF THE GRAND SECRETARY

Please see the attached statement of income and expenses for the Grand

Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Oklahoma. The Grand Treasurer’s report depicts the investment holdings and performance for the year.

MEMBERSHIP

Total Gains 110 Losses:

• Deaths 40 • Suspensions/Withdrawals 67 • Dimitted 3 • Adjustments __ 0

Greetings of 64 compared to 86 last year, Suspensions/withdrawals were 67 compared to 70 last year. All but one Chapter have submitted quarterly reports for Year 2010. We had 41 members reported on the Annual Reports who are unable to pay their dues, seven less than last year.

Perpetual memberships showed a gain of 7, with an ending total of 469 living and 227 deceased perpetual members. Almost 32% of our active members continue to be perpetual members.

Companions, nothing much has changed since last year. Even though our membership is declining, this job seems to get tougher and tougher to stay up with. I continue to ask you, as Secretaries, to help out by being prompt with your reports and annual returns. To Committee Chairman, all of you should have a report submitted to the Grand Secretary's Office by the required due dates in order to get them in the pre-print for the annual convocation. This seems to be the worst year in that regard and I gave everyone plenty of notice.

Respectfully submitted, GARY A. DAVIS Grand Secretary

YORK RITE COORDINATION COMMITTEE

A verbal report was given by Ronald Carr which indicated there were quarterly meetings held to take care of the requirements for this committee. Additionally, a meeting was held in conjunction with the Grand Lodge of Oklahoma and the other appendant bodies to discuss activities and important dates.

REPORT OF THE DeMOLAY COMMITTEE

The DeMolay workshop, honoring York Rite Masonry, was held in OKC from 7-9 Jan 2011 and was well attended. There 19 new members initiated and several Advisors trained at this workshop. The Fifteenth York Rite SWORD, honoring the “York Rite Outstanding DeMolay, for

29

Ritual, Community Work, Leadership, and Scholastics, was presented to Joshua Huggins, William L. Moore Chapter, Spiro at the award ceremonies. This award, a regulation York Rite Sword, is engraved with the recipients name on the blade and his initials on the handle. This is indeed a cherished and sought after award by all DeMolays. We continue to hope that these young men will join Masonry and the York Rite to further their character building and their Masonic careers. Highland Park Chapter of Tulsa, OK was named “Chapter of the Year”. The Grand Chapter presented their donation to the Oklahoma DeMolay Association at the Awards presentation. The committee wishes to thank Ronald L. Carr, Most Excellent Grand High Priest for the opportunity to serve York Rite Masonry and we commend him for his leadership and his interest in DeMolay. Respectfully submitted, Gary A. Davis (81), Marvin Fletcher (52), F. Craig Bowman (52)

MASONIC CHARITY FOUNDATION REPORT The report of the Masonic Charity Foundation Representative is as follows: The Charity Foundation reelected officers for a second term at its last meeting held in January. The president is David Ray, 1st Vice President Charles L. Stuckey, and 2nd Vice President Elwood “Ike” Isaacs, Secretary Robert G. Davis, Treasurer Gary A. Davis and Assistant Secretary John Logan. I want to express my appreciation to the members of the Masonic Charity Foundation Board by allowing me to serve as president and to the companions of the Grand Chapter for allowing me to represent them in this important work. The Charity Foundation has participated in some very worthwhile events this past year. Grand Master Glenn Almy presented a check for $21,000 to the Veterans Center in Sulphur. The funds are to be used to purchase television sets and mounting hardware for the sets so veterans living there can enjoy watching television in their rooms. The Center has built a new wing for the veterans who reside there. Grand Master Glenn Almy presented a check for nearly $750,000 to the Area Wide Aging Agency. These funds are used to help people 55 and over who have needs that cannot always be met through existing programs. The Oklahoma Association of Area Agencies (O4A) through its eleven agencies statewide works with people in need that meet the criteria for help. Thanks to a benefactor, Edgar M. Woody, the Charity Foundation works very closely with the O4A to ensure funds are properly used according to Brother Woody’s legacy. Board members of the Charity Foundation were informed at the January meeting that the Masonic Charity Foundation had been reclassified as a private charity by the Internal Revenue Service. Although this is a disappointment to the Foundation, the reclassification will not change the way the Foundation does its work. All donations received by the Foundation will be deposited and only the interest will be used for its charitable and educational work. Please remember the Masonic Charity Foundation and continue to support it with your donations. Being the representative for the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons to the Masonic Charity Foundation is an honor and is a very rewarding one. I would like to thank the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons for allowing me this great opportunity. Respectfully and fraternally submitted, David A. Ray

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE

It is with great sadness that we put this report together. Wes Sherrick, our

Chairman passed through the final veil on this earth. Membership losses through death take many of our members every year. It reminds us of the need to continue to exalt new members just to replace those who pass from our midst.

I set out to include numbers of new exaltations and losses through demits and death. However, I was tardy in my request to the Grand Secretary. Those numbers will appear elsewhere in this pre-print. Take a look at the hard truth about where we are in terms of long term survival.

The issues that need to be addressed go far beyond just talking numbers. They go to how we solve the problems that lead to declining membership.

First and foremost, every Chapter in Oklahoma should be able to confer the Mark Master degree. That would allow us to get our new members started at home. They would begin to feel that they were part of a York Rite Body. It would allow them to meet more of our members and become involved in our local activities. (You do have local activities, don't you?) Then, if you must, take the new member to a festival or field day. I don't mean send him with one other member of your Chapter, but take a group and allow him to become a part of your body.

I realize that I have a bias and I am going to share it. The Chapter is the foundation of the York Rite System. It continues the lessons that we learn in the Lodge. The symbolic degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason, as conferred in Oklahoma and most of the United States, are degrees of the York Rite. I honestly believe that every Mason in Oklahoma should receive the Royal Arch Degree. The Holy Royal Arch is one of the oldest and most important degrees in all of Masonry.

Since we don't have York Rite Bodies affiliated with every Lodge in Oklahoma, we need a system to provide Captiular Masonry to those Masons. I believe the suggestion of Robert G. Davis was a great one. We should have a viable Chapter in at least one lodge in every three counties. Men need access to the York Rite within a round trip driving distance that can reasonably be accomplished in one evening.

We need to be performing degree work on a continuing basis in all of our Chapters. That is one of the reasons we have monthly or semi-monthly meetings. We can do our degree work at our home York Rite bodies or by combining with other bodies, offer regional degrees. It will enhance the Masonic experience of all involved. To be able to combine with those other bodies in our area, each Chapter needs to be able to confer one or more degrees.

We are part of some of the most beautiful and insightful degrees in all of Masonry. We need to promote those wonderful lessons of Masonry and build the camaraderie that Masonry is about.

Respectfully submitted, Tim Israel, Chairman, Trasen Akers and every Royal Arch Mason in Oklahoma

NECROLOGY COMMITTEE No report given. A Divine Service was conducted for our deceased Companions and those members are listed in that section of the proceedings.

RARA COMMITTEE The Able Kids Foundation™ (AKF) continues to be the recipient of RARA

support. The Able Kids Foundation is a nonprofit organization established to enhance and maximize abilities. This Colorado-based foundation joins with local, national, and international partners to expand opportunities for people with disabilities.

The potential need for central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) diagnosis and management is great. Because central auditory processing difficulties are associated with children and adults with other challenges such as traumatic brain injury, autism, and attention deficit disorder (ADD), the incidence of CAPD is most likely underestimated. For example, the incidence of autism is 1 in every 500 births, 200 million people a year have some degree of head injury, and 28 million individuals have hearing loss. Furthermore, 2 million children have been diagnosed with ADD, and 1 in every 1600 individuals has multiple sclerosis. All of these population groups are at risk for CAPD and with your continuing support, we can help them.

Removing barriers and encouraging self-value is what the Able Kids Foundation and the Royal Arch Research Assistance

is all about.

Your Oklahoma York Bodies, as of February 28, 2011, had contributed a grand total since the conception, of $113,851.57 ($99,610.50 in “regular” contributions and $14,241.27 in memorial contributions). Respectfully submitted, L. Erik Stuckey, Chairman

YOUTH AMBASSADOR

Verbal report from Patrick Couch stressed more involvement from our members in the Youth Groups of Oklahoma.

JOSEPH SAMUEL MURROW AWARD

HARVEY WAYNE KAYLOR

This award honors the living who have rendered exceptional and unusual service while at the same time paying tribute to our first Grand High Priest, who is universally known as the “Father of Oklahoma Masonry”. Companion Kaylor is one of those Masons who belongs to numerous Masonic Orders and is active in all of them. His fellow Companion’s recommendation states that very few people are aware of the many things he does for the good of Masonry because most of his labors are completely behind the scenes with no mention of his actions to anyone. He has been one of the driving forces behind the reestablishment of the York Rite Chapter and Council in Altus, OK and a promoter of the ritual in both orders. He truly wears his “apron” 24 hours a day. Harvey, a retired military veteran, has served the Grand Lodge of OK in several appointed positions including serving as Grand Tyler twice. He has served the Order of Eastern Star as Worthy Patron and even as Grand Escort for his Lady Loree who served as Grand Chapter Star Point (Adah). A member of the Guthrie Valley Scottish Rite, having attained the 33rd degree. Harvey served as High Priest of Keystone Chapter 102, Tipton, OK and of Altus Chapter No. 60, Altus, OK. He served as Illustrios Master of Tipton Council No. 60, Tipton, OK and Altus Council No. 33, Altus, OK. Additionally, he has held several appointed offices in the Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons of Oklahoma.

DISTINGUISHED SERVICE BRONZE MEDAL AWARD

GARY A. ODENDAHL

This award is given to the Cryptic Mason who is considered worthy based on exceptional and meritorious service to Cryptic Masonry above and beyond the call of duty.

Gary was put in an unusual situation this past year because two of our key members in Stillwater having to move out of State. Gary volunteered to fill in as Secretary and has done an outstanding job to date. He is not afraid to ask questions and is eager to do things the “right way”. Without complaint, he has reorganized our regalia closet, working on protecting our materials and history, and has developed a far better recording method for manuals, material, and men for Stillwater York Rite. Gary is good about notifying our members of meetings and is eager to attend all training that is offered to him whereby he can become more proficient in any activity he gets involve with. He is considered an unsung hero among Stillwater’s Chapter members.
