GEKTUSA

To be sure, we faced multiple challenges, including those from without our state. Fortunately, our Grand Master of Masons, Most Worshipful Martin Reinschmidt, brought those issues to a close and we are happy to once again be at peace with the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar, USA.

THE RETIREMENT OF SIR KNIGHT ROBERT DURHAM

During the summer of 2018, Sir Knight Robert Durham, HPGC, then our Grand Recorder, contacted me and expressed his desire to retire for health reasons. I believe I can safely speak for my predecessors, as well as myself, when I tell you that it is impossible to replace Sir Knight Durham. His institutional knowledge and humble spirit make him a Sir Knight whom we should all admire. To say his retirement was a misfortune for this Grand Commandery is an understatement.

Considering his request, I accepted his retirement and appointed Sir Knight Allan K. Bean, Past Eminent Commander, as Grand Recorder. Sir Knight Bean is accurate, organized, and efficient, three qualities necessary in a Grand Recorder. He has been a very quick study and has accomplished each and every task asked of him by me. I could not be happier with Sir Knight Bean and look forward to several years of his service to our Grand Commandery.

Despite his retirement, Sir Knight Durham continues to be of service to our Grand Commandery. He has made himself available to our elected line and has been invaluable

in assisting our new Grand Recorder in assuming the duties of office. Sir Knight Durham has been a source of trusted advice and wisdom for me, and for him I am truly grateful.

ADMINISTRATIVE

Prior to taking office, the Grand Commandery delegates graciously approved my resolutions to restructure our committees, eliminate some committees that served no purpose, and combine other committees. However, the committees had no formal guidance documents as previously committees were appointed without any instruction as to duties or what was expected of them. To remedy that, I issued General Order No. 2 which outlined the duties of the committees.

MISSION STATEMENT

Your Grand Officers met early in our term and after much deliberation we confected and adopted our Mission Statement:

The Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of the State of Louisiana is an organization of Christian Masons dedicated to improving our communities through fraternity, charity, ritual, education, and the heritage of Templary.

Having established our mission statement, and the areas in which our Grand Commandery is to accomplish that mission, we set about work in those fields: fraternity, charity, ritual, education, and heritage.

FRATERNITY

We want to create programs that will foster the sense of fraternity among our members. From a Grand Commandery level, that is extremely difficult to do. However, one way we can do that is by encouraging our older members to make themselves available to our younger members and we can do so by rewarding their long service to Templary. Thus, we created a jewel to be awarded to 50-year members at no cost to them or their commandery. Because this is so important, only the Grand Commander or his designee can make the presentation of that jewel. I was so pleased to award the first of those 50-year jewels to the dean of our Right Eminent Past Grand Commanders, Sir Knight W.A. Morris, Right Eminent Grand Commander in 1989.

Similarly, we developed jewels for Knights with 25 years of service, available for a fee from the Grand Recorder. I was proud to award the first of those 25-year jewels to Right Eminent Past Grand Commander Sir Knight Mickey Durand and Eminent Past Commander Charles Smith, Past Grand Master and Grand Treasurer, respectively, of our Grand Lodge.

We also found that many of our Knights, particularly younger Knights, did not feel included in the work and social fabric of our Grand Commandery. Therefore, in an effort to bring us to them, we made an all-out push on the internet. You can now find updated information on our Grand Commandery at www.louisianaKnightstemplar.org, or, if you have access to Facebook, you can find us there by searching Louisiana Knights Templar. We have found that a modern web and social media presence is absolutely necessary to reach our younger members. Men my age get their news from places like Facebook, and if we are going to communicate with them, we are going to have to reach them through their preferred method of communication, not ours.

CHARITY

In like manner, we chose to focus on Charity, which, as you know, is the principle upon which the superstructure of freemasonry is erected. Templary has three main charities: The Knight Templar Eye Foundation, The Knight Templar Educational Foundation, and The Holy Land Pilgrimage. While strongly supporting all three, we chose to focus our efforts this year on The Holy Land Pilgrimage.

It costs approximately $4,000 to send one minister from Louisiana on the Pilgrimage. In order to ensure that Louisiana will be able to at least assist in helping a minister travel on the Pilgrimage, we thought it necessary to secure a long-term source of funding. To that end, we developed an Endowment Fund, the earnings of which will be used to defray the costs of the Pilgrimage. The plan is to build a fund and never touch the principal but instead use only the earnings, eventually building a fund that can send a minister on the Pilgrimage each year.

To assist in raising the money for the Fund, we developed an award known as the Knight of the Holy Land to be presented to those generous Sir Knights contributing $1,000 or more to the Fund. I was pleased to present the first of those awards to Sir Knight Michael Watts, Past Eminent Commander of Bethlehem Commandery. Just so you know, I’m told that if each Sir Knight in Louisiana contributed $100 to the fund, it would immediately become self-sufficient.

You might also decide to contribute as a Commandery. Trinity Commandery chose to donate a large sum this year, and I was pleased to present them with a jewel for their commandery.

As a result of these contributions, we were privileged to have Sir Knight Dennis Snoddy, Pastor of Cloverdale Baptist Church and a member of Trinity Commandery, participate in The Holy Land Pilgrimage this year.

Our Holy Land Pilgrimage Committee, chaired by Sir Knight Darin West, Eminent Past Commander, did yeomen’s work on this project. Sir Knight West, in addition to serving as one of our Eminent Inspector Generals, developed a large part of the paperwork necessary to implement the plan and has our sincerest thanks.

We now turn to the third area of focus, our ritual. Our ritual is one of the defining marks of our Order and, in my view, one of the most beautiful rituals in all of Masonry. As you well know we promote our ritual through Inspections of our Commanderies and have done so for many, many years. However, it seemed to us that it would be better if our Commanderies knew the criteria by which they would be inspected in advance of the inspection. To that end, Sir Knights West, Allan Bean, and John Sharlow, Eminent Past Commanders, comprised a committee charged with developing a comprehensive scoring system. Both our Very Eminent Deputy Grand Commander Sir Knight Sam Owens and I approved their recommendation, and I promulgated it by General Order. It was important to me that Sir Knight Owens also approve the inspection form for the sake of continuity.

We also determined that we needed to bring uniformity to our Installation of Officers ceremony. For too many years some of our constituent Commanderies have simply

proclaimed their officers installed without giving them proper instruction or information about the duties of their office. Working with some of the elected grand officers and borrowing heavily from other states, we developed a ritual for installing officers and I had the pleasure of using it at the installation of officers at eight of our fourteen Commanderies. While not perfect, it is a start and sets the precedent that our constituent Commandery officers should be installed in proper form.

EDUCATION

Fourth, we come to education. For many years the Grand Encampment has encouraged Sir Knights to participate in the Emerging Leaders Program. The Program is designed to integrate solid leadership skills with a special emphasis on Masonic teaching, and provides exciting classroom interaction, inter-jurisdictional cross-fertilization, and personal relationships upon which to build a bright future for our fraternity.

In order to encourage our Sir Knights to participate in the Program and to reward those Sir Knights who complete the Program, I issued General Order Thirteen which provides a jewel and award to those Sir Knights who successfully complete all levels of the Program. We should take each and every opportunity to spread the light of knowledge within our Order, and we hope this becomes a mechanism for such work.

By education we don’t simply mean the education of just our members, which is important, but also the education of the public and those who might become Templars. To that end, Sir Knight Joshua “Gar” Pickering was charged to develop a Knight Templar brochure to be used to educate our potential members and, hopefully, encourage them to join our magnanimous Order. The brochure contains a brief explanation of the Orders of Templary as well as the other York Rite degrees, and has a petition attached to it that can be used to begin a potential Knight’s journey in our Order.

HERITAGE

We now come to the last focus of our mission: heritage. We have something unique: the 900-year heritage of Templary. We want our members to be proud to be Templars. We want them to be proud to be identified with the men who fought for the Christian religion so many centuries ago and to be identified as Christian Masons. Our heritage permeates everything we do, from the way in which we treat and serve each other, to our ritual, to our Holy Land Pilgrimage. We want our Knights, like Knights of old, to look, feel and act like Knights.

One of the defining marks of the Knights of old was their dedication to service. To encourage our Sir Knights to serve others, we developed the American Masonic Fraternal, or AMF Committee. The AMF Committee provides grants to local Commanderies to reimburse them for a portion of costs associated with engaging in patriotic or civic activities. Sir Knight L. Chad Koelling, Eminent Past Commander and Chairman of the AMF Committee, was instrumental in writing the policies and procedures to put the idea into action, and he deserves our thanks.

I am very proud of this program as it has already shown benefits. Over the 2018 Memorial Day weekend, several Commanderies participated in laying wreaths at cemeteries in Louisiana. I joined Trinity Commandery at the National Cemetery in Pineville to lay a wreath and had a wonderful time visiting with Veterans’ groups, as well as Congressman Ralph Abraham, and exposing them to a positive image of Masonry and Templary. Trinity

Commandery, through the AMF Committee, has already been reimbursed for half of the cost of the wreath laid. Outreach programs like this are important to the education of our members and the public at large.

Our ancient predecessors enthusiastically brought Christianity and Templary to the Holy Land and other parts of the world. Similarly, we were privileged this year to bring Templary to a place which had never had an established Templar presence: Coushatta. Jerusalem Commandery, in Coushatta, is the first commandery started in this state in 38 years. To put that in perspective, C.A. Everitt Commandery number 29 in Slidell was the last Commandery chartered in this state, and it is older than I am. Thus, I was overjoyed when Sir Knight Steven Hester, Eminent Commander, approached me about forming a new commandery in Coushatta. I am proud to be one its first members and to recommend to you the granting of a full Charter to Jerusalem Commandery.

CONCLUSION

Finally, my Brethren, I want to thank you for the opportunity to serve you this year. I have been privileged to travel from corner to corner of this Great State as your representative. From the cotton fields of northeast Louisiana to the swamps of the southwest, from the piney woods to the bright lights of New Orleans, I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting with men who are poised to make Templary great again. Templary is making a difference in our world and in the lives of Sir Knights and you, the members of this Grand Commandery, should hold your heads high and be proud of your affiliation with this ancient Order.

I believe that Templary has a bright future ahead of it, and I truly appreciate you allowing me to play a small part in a glorious history. God bless you, and God bless the Great State of Louisiana.

Respectfully submitted,

J. Keith Gates

GENERAL ORDER NO. 2 ........................................................................ WINNFIELD, LOUISIANA SERIES 2018-2019 .............................................................................................. MARCH 15, 2018

GENERAL ORDER NO. 2

Pursuant to Section 48(b) of the Constitution of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar of the United States of America, the Grand Commander of this Grand Commandery has the power and duty “to appoint all Committees and Officers not made elective, and to fill all vacancies, such appointees to serve during his pleasure or until their successors have been elected or appointed and installed.”

In conformity with that law, in General Order 2018-01 I appointed various knights to various committees of our Grand Commandery. All too often knights are appointed to committees and the duties of that committee are not set forth or otherwise made known to the members, causing the members of the committee great distress. In an effort to clarify the expectations and duties of those committees, I believe it is necessary to issue this General Order.

Therefore, by the authority vested in me as Grand Commander of the Grand Commandery of Louisiana, Knights Templar, and pursuant to the laws governing the same:

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Standing Committees of the Grand Commandery of Louisiana are required as follows:

1. The Committee on Jurisprudence shall consider all decisions upon questions of Templar Laws and usage reported by the Grand Commander and such other matters as may be referred to it by him or the Grand Commandery, and its conclusions shall be reported to the Grand Commandery or Grand Commander, as the case may be. The Committee, when called upon, shall give opinions on the legislative, judicial and executive functions of the Grand Commandery and the Constituent Commanderies, and on the prerogatives, powers and duties of the officers and members thereof.

2. The Committee on the State of the Order and Advancement shall make a report to the Grand Commander and Grand Commandery on the state of Templary in our Grand Jurisdiction, including any recommendations for improvement of the same. It shall recommend to the Grand Commandery and/or Grand Commander a comprehensive plan of long-range goals as it may deem prudent for our Grand Commandery to strive toward and shall recommend such actions as necessary and/or expedient to advance Templary in our Grand Commandery towards those goals. Such a plan and recommendation shall examine the areas of finance and membership in particular, but in no event shall it be limited to those two areas. Such a plan shall also examine prior year plans and any progress towards achieving the goals set forth therein.

3. The Committee on Necrology shall report at each Annual Conclave the death of each member of the Grand Commandery occurring since the last Triennial Conclave, with a suitable Memorial to the Templar dead.

4. The Committee on Credentials shall, as directed by the Grand Commander, supervise the registration of knights at the Annual Conclave and shall report as soon as practicable after the opening of the Annual Conclave the names of the Member present entitled to participate in the proceedings thereof.

5. The Committee on Finance shall cause to be audited by Certified Public Accountants the books, accounts and vouchers of the Grand Treasurer, the Grand Recorder, and of such Committees, Officers and Members of the Grand Commandery as may have custody of any funds or property of the Grand Commandery, sufficiently in advance of the convening of the Grand Conclave so that copies of such audit may be furnished the members of such Committee, the Grand Commander and Grand Recorder prior to the convening of such Conclave. It shall recommend such appropriations as may be necessary for the current expenses of the ensuing term of office of the Grand Commander.

6. The Committee on Appeals and Grievances shall examine all appeals and complaints before the Grand Commandery or any other matter referred to them by the Grand Commander, and report thereon, and recommend such action to the Grand Commandery as, to them, shall seem fit and proper.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Special Committees of the Grand Commandery of Louisiana are required as follows:

1. The Education Foundation Committee shall work with and under the plans of the Grand Encampment Educational Foundation. It shall invest its funds through the Grand Encampment Educational Foundation, and shall provide an accounting of same to the Grand Commander or his designee whenever directed. It shall receive applications for grants and, in its discretion and subject to approval of the Grand Commander, shall pay out such awards as it may deem advisable. The Secretary and Treasurer of the committee shall be the Grand Recorder and Grand Treasurer, respectively.

2. The Committee on Knights Templar Eye Foundation shall set a Grand Commandery goal for the Grand Encampment Annual Voluntary Campaign then make use of fundraising projects within constituent Commanderies and this Grand Commandery to achieve that goal. The Committee shall also prepare such awards as may be suitable to recognize constituent Commanderies for exemplary work in this area such as recognizing each Commandery with a campaign productivity that equals or exceeds an average of $10.00 per member, First, Second and Third Place Constituent Commanderies based upon per capita results, and First, Second and Third Place Constituent Commanderies based upon “dollar returns,” i.e. those turning in the three largest amounts of campaign funds, irrespective of per capita averages.

3. The Committee on Holy Land Pilgrimage shall implement procedures for selection of attendees on the Holy Land Pilgrimage, shall adopt guidelines for fund-raising for the program, shall lead fundraising for the program, and shall publicize the program.

4. The Committee on Public Relations shall formulate and devise a plan to publicize Templary and our Grand Commandery. As part of those duties, it shall solicit appropriate articles and pictures and cause the same to be published in the Louisiana supplement of the Knight Templar Magazine.

5. The Committee on Perpetual Membership shall establish a category of membership known as perpetual membership and shall recommend policies and procedures to the Grand Commander for the management of funds placed in its care by the Grand Commandery.

6. The Committee on DeMolay and Youth shall make recommendations to the Grand Commandery and Grand Commander on the best policies and procedures to advance Templar support of all masonic youth organizations, but especially the DeMolay.

7. The Committee on Annual Conclave Arrangements shall make suitable arrangements for the annual Conclave of the Grand Commandery and secure suitable hotel accommodations for the Officers and Members thereof.

8. The American Masonic Fraternal Committee shall foster and supervise activities of a patriotic and citizenship nature, whether in peacetime or in wartime, and shall present its recommendations for civic responsibility by Knights Templar individually and collectively, compatible with the patriotic principles of Templary. An allowance of $250 shall be made annually for the Committee to disburse as a reimbursement to Commanderies for expenses incurred in the above-noted activities and/or to purchase suitable awards to be presented at the Grand Commandery Conclave each year by said committee for exemplary service in these activities.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all committees, whether standing or special, shall perform such other tasks as may be assigned it by the Grand Commander and in any event shall work at the direction and discretion of the Grand Commander, who may at any time direct that the duties set forth herein may change. THUS DONE AND SIGNED in the City of Winnfield, The Great State of Louisiana on the 14TH day of March, in the year of our Lord Two Thousand Eighteen, A.O. 900.

GENERAL ORDER NO. 3 GOLDONNA, LOUISIANA SERIES 2018-2019 MAY 10, 2018

GENERAL ORDER NO. 3 In General Order 2018-01 I appointed various knights to various committees of our Grand

Commandery and in General Order 2018-02 I outlined the duties of those committees, including that of the American Masonic Committee:

recommendations for civic responsibility by Knights Templar individually and collectively, compatible with the patriotic principles of Templary. An allowance of $250 shall be made annually for the Committee to disburse as a reimbursement to Commanderies for expenses incurred in the above-noted activities and/or to purchase suitable awards to be presented at the Grand Commandery Conclave each year by said committee for exemplary service in these activities. Pursuant thereto, the American Masonic Committee, chaired by Sir Knight L. Chad Koelling, P.C.,

developed policies, procedures, and forms for use in carrying out its mission. It is necessary that this General Order follow in order to implement their recommendations.

Therefore, by the authority vested in me as Grand Commander of the Grand Commandery of

Louisiana, Knights Templar, and pursuant to the laws governing the same:

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the following policies and procedures shall govern expenditures by this Grand Commandery for its American Masonic Fraternal Program:

1. The Grand Recorder, upon recommendation of the American Masonic Fraternal Committee

and concurrence of the Grand Commander, is authorized to disburse up to FIFTY DOLLARS ($50.00) as a reimbursement to Louisiana Commanderies for up to one-half of expenses incurred in activities of a patriotic and citizenship nature, whether in peacetime or in wartime.

2. Such Commanderies seeking reimbursement must submit the attached completed form, also available at www.louisianaknightstemplar.org, along with copies of canceled checks or receipts for purchases made or other such documentation, to the Chairman of the American Masonic Fraternal Committee.

3. Each Commandery shall be limited to one request for reimbursement per Templar year.

4. The total amount of funds expended by the American Masonic Committee shall not exceed

$250, as recommended by the Finance Committee and approved by the Grand Commandery at its most recent Grand Conclave.

EMINENT GRAND PRELATE’S MESSAGE By W. Bryan Price, Eminent Grand Prelate

Christmas, what is it? Ask a hundred people and you would probably receive 100 answers. For some Christmas is a holiday of giving and receiving gifts, visiting family, lights, trees, and glittering ornaments. For others, however, it is a cold time of the year, depressing, and dark. No matter what anyone’s personal idea of Christmas may be or how one celebrates the Holiday, it is important as Christians to not be distracted by that which glitters but to look beyond. It is a time of darkness for much of the world and I am

persuaded that it is for this very reason that God sent His only begotten Son to be the Light of the World, the Word that was made flesh! (John 1:1-14, KJV)

The world continues to grow more chaotic and there are many that are struggling with the loss of loved ones, financial problems, loneliness, sickness, and other issues. I would encourage all of you, my brethren, to reach out to friends and neighbors and show them the light that is within you, the true and everlasting light that is Jesus Christ!

It is my fervent prayer that Almighty God will continue to pour out his richest blessings on our fraternity!

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (Jude 24-25)

RESPONSE FROM THE RIGHT EMINENT GRAND COMMANDER Once again we are called to a remembrance of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

And, once again, our Eminent Grand Prelate has given us much to ponder this season. As our Prelate reminded us, whether this season brings us joy or sadness, Jesus still reigns through it all and His birth is a beacon of good news to our troubled world. Be the Light. I truly hope that you and your loved ones will have a very blessed, joyous, and Merry Christmas.

In Appreciation

Page 55

Again, thanks so much to Past Grand Recorder Sir Knight Robert E. Durham, Jr., HPGC, for all his assistance. Without his help, advice and assistance, this job would exceedingly challenging. Right Eminent Grand Commander Gates, thank you for your confidence in me. It has been a fun year, full of challenges, and a joy to work for you and for Knights Templary success in Louisiana. I extend to the officers of the Grand Commandery line, Past Grand Commanders, and Sir Knights my deepest thanks for your valued aid and advice. Your calls and emails were especially helpful, as well. It was also a great pleasure working with our Commandery Recorders who devote countless hours in the care of their commandery’s work. We all owe them special thanks. To those Recorders who were always efficient in reporting and in using MMS, thank you for timely submissions and for keeping your records up to date. And we all owe special thanks to our Committee Chairmen and committee members for all they did to carry out the work of this great Grand Commandery. Please take a moment to read their reports as they have done exceptional jobs for Templary in Louisiana.

Goals Supporting Commandery Recorders and Sir Knights was my priority to keep everyone informed, resolve questions, and act on your advice and recommendations for continuous improvement of our administrative operations. A close second was supporting our Grand Commander, the Grand Officers (both elected and appointed) and Committee Chairmen and their members by being a helpful team member in implementing the vision and mission of our Grand Commandery. In All Knightly Courtesy,

Allan K. Bean, PC Grand Recorder

State of the Order and Advancement Committee Report To the Right Eminent Grand Commander, Grand officers, and all Sir Knights within the Grand jurisdiction of and holding allegiance to the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Louisiana. Fraternal Greetings! Our committee graciously thanks our Right Eminent Grand Commander for the opportunity and privilege to serve on this committee. The portions of the Grand Commander’s report that were referred to this committee have been found to be in order. This committee finds that several areas of our activities require additional effort. Namely the participation in our annual Grand Conclave, participation in our annual inspections, festivals, fund raising programs, and drill and ceremony practice programs at the local commandery level. We understand the demands on all of our time and our wallets, nonetheless more effort is needed. We seem to be in a transition period as our elders are stepping back to assume mentorship and advisory roles and our newer Sir Knights are stepping up to assume a greater role in our continued success. This is the natural order of things and should be encouraged. Increasing our membership, and membership retention continue to be an issue. The first impressions that we make at our festivals are critical in this area. Encouragement for our members new and not so new to become involved with degree work and ritual proficiency would be a giant leap forward in our continued success. Fraternally and humbly submitted under my hand, Samuel B. “Sam” Owens Samuel B. Owens, Chairman V.E. Deputy Grand Commander

In honor of and in the memory of all the gallant Sir Knights who died since our last Grand Conclave, I offer a reading of the 27th Psalm: 27 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. " One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. 5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. 6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore, will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. While we mourn our losses and will miss their companionship, we are confident in knowing that, while absent from the body, they are present with the Lord. To quote an old hymn "No Tears in Heaven": "No tears in heaven, no sorrows given, All will be glory in that land " May our brethren rest in honored glory and the perpetual light of the peace of God! Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and before all time. Amen. W. Bryan Price, PC

Educational Foundation Committee Report

To the Right Eminent Grand Commander, Grand Officers and Sir Knights of The Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Louisiana: During the calendar year of 2018, your Educational Foundation Committee made no grants. After the approval in 2017 for The Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of the State of Louisiana to follow the option of merging our Knight Templar Educational Funds (KTEF) with the funds of the Grand Encampment of the United States, the funds of the Grand Commandery of Louisiana were forwarded to the Grand Encampment. The merging of these funds allows our funds to earn returns at much higher rates. The Grand Encampment will return a statement for our portion of the gains of the total fund each year. Upon receipt of this statement, the Louisiana Knights Templar Educational Foundation members can make recommendations for possible educational grants within the State of Louisiana. After the approval for a grant, notice is given to the Grand Encampment, who will issue a grant check to the college of choice, for the person selected to receive the grant. The Louisiana KTEF balance at the end of 2017 was $62,314.70 and the ending balance for 2018 will be greater based on earnings which will be placed in the final proceedings upon receipt of the end-of-year statement from the Grand Encampment.

Your Public Relations Committee would like to thank the many Knights Templar throughout Louisiana who have contributed and shared publicity information to these many sites and to the Knights Templar Magazine Supplement. Thanks to our Right Eminent Grand Commander of Louisiana this year for founding the Louisiana Grand Commandery of Louisiana Facebook presence and the Grand Commandery of Louisiana Website as well as the many contributions to the sites and the Knights Templar Magazine Supplement. Many photographs from these sites and contributions from Sir Knights have been used to enrich the Louisiana Supplement of the Knights Templar Magazine.

It is important that we also publicize Louisiana Knights Templary to the outside world, that is to master masons who do not already belong to our Louisiana Knights Templar. More ideas are solicited for an outreach to Louisiana masons and non-masons alike to generate interest in Masonry and Knights Templar in Louisiana. More publicity on our Charitable outreaches could also be very important in spreading the word both within and without our Louisiana Knights Templar organization.

Holy Land Pilgrimage Committee Report

Right Eminent Grand Commander, Grand Officers, Sir Knights All,

As Chairman of the Holy Land Pilgrimage Committee, it has been my distinct Honor to serve the Grand Commandery and the Right Eminent Grand Commander in this endeavor.

After several attempts to enlist viable names of clergy from the several areas throughout the state, by means and use of this committee’s members, Sir Knight Dennis Snoddy was selected to represent our State and Grand Commandery in the Holy Land Pilgrimage, 2019. Sir Knight Snoddy is a member of Trinity Commandery #8, and is the Pastor of Cloverdale Baptist Church, in Alexandria, LA.

The selection method used to select our representative Pastors will continue to utilize members of local Commanderies to identify worthy Clergy to represent our state from their local Churches.

Page 64

members will elect ONE candidate as our representative. In addition to selecting a representative this year, REGC Keith Gates began the Holy Land Pilgrimage Endowment fund, as an ongoing fund-raising effort to fund this Pilgrimage. Several Sir Knights and constituent Commanderies donated to this fund in 2018, and these donations are listed below: Hospitality Room - $876.50 Sir Knight Michael Watts, PC - $1,000 Trinity Commandery #8 - $5,000 Monroe Commandery #7 - $250 Sir Knight Richard James, PGC - $1,000 The Holy Land Pilgrimage Committee Funds for the year are as follows: Beginning Balance - $2,853.40 Donations - $8,126.50 Expenses - $4,300 Ending Balance - $6,679.90 Based on the program implemented in the 2018-2019 Year, donations can be made directly to the Grand Recorder, with adequate notations to indicate intent for the donation to be directed to Holy Land Pilgrimage fund. Donations of Individual Sir Knights of $1,000 or greater qualify that Sir Knight to receive a special Medal (Holy Land Pilgrimage Medal) in recognition and appreciation of their donation. I would request that any Sir Knight or constituent Commandery to continue to donate to this worthy fund. Respectfully Submitted, M. Darin West, PC, Chairman Stephen M. Bryant, PC Mike Carpenter Richard D. Mahoney, PC Philip D. Andrus, PC

Perpetual Membership Committee Report (Grand Commandery)

Right Eminent Grand Commander: Your committee on Perpetual Membership respectively reports the following activity and statistics for the calendar year 2018 as pertaining to York Rite Perpetual Membership in this Grand Jurisdiction: Right Eminent Sir, on December 31, 2018, we completed twenty-three years and three months of participation and activity in the York Rite Perpetual Membership Program. As you are aware, the York Rite Perpetual Membership fund is a jointly invested account with invested funds from participating members under the jurisdiction of the Grand Chapter, Grand Council, and Grand

Page 65

Commandery. The investment firm for York Rite Perpetual Membership has done a marvelous job in protecting our investments. It has not been an exceptional year for Perpetual Membership investments or any other investments, for that matter. The investment “value” decreased by approximately 7.45%. However, the investment accounts returned total earnings of 5.1%. Please be assured that your York Rite Perpetual Membership Committee continues to seek the very best investment return for dollars invested in the program and working for our Perpetual Members. Fraternally submitted, Allen G. Tidwell, P.C., Chairman

DeMolay & Youth Committee Report To the Right Eminent Grand Commander and Sir Knights: Your 2018-2019 Committee on DeMolay wishes to thank this Grand Commandery for the continued support to Louisiana DeMolay financially and from individuals who volunteer to assist this worthwhile organization for young people which is an important part of our Louisiana Masonic Family. The Order of DeMolay, named after the last Grand Master of Knights Templar, Jacques deMolay, is a fraternal organization for young men and was formed in Kansas City, Missouri, in March 1919 by Frank Sherman Land. Over the last 100 years, the Order of DeMolay has been the largest fraternal organization for young men with over three million members. The Order of DeMolay has a beach for young men between the ages of 9-11 call the Manor of Squires. In Louisiana, we have the Lee Edward Thomas Squire Manor that prepares these young men for DeMolay. The age for membership in DeMolay is 12-21 and upon reaching age 21, a young man becomes a Senior Member and no longer votes or holds office in local organizations called Chapters; however, many become Advisors and Masons and, eventually, Knights in the Order of the Temple. Headquarters for DeMolay is Kansas City and it is a world-wide organization with members in North and South America, Japan, the Philippines, Australia and in Europe. Louisiana has had over 30 Chapters over the years located in many communities, and currently Chapters are located in Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, Monroe, Lafayette and Shreveport with a new Chapter coming online in the very near future for Master Masons that never had the opportunity to join DeMolay. Chapters are sponsored by Masonic Organizations such as Lodges, however in the past, a number of Royal Arch Chapters have sponsored Chapters. The Order of Knighthood, an appendant organization of DeMolay, has traditionally been sponsored in Louisiana by the Grand Commandery. Young men 17 and older can join Knighthood. Many things have taken place over the last year. The Order of DeMolay in Louisiana has had a new Adult Leader appointed. First, we would like to thank Sir Knight, A. Nick Auck for all the hard work he has done and continues to do for Louisiana DeMolay. He was succeeded by Sir Knight, Wilson

Page 66

Cook, EC. Sir Knight Cook, EC, is currently serving Louisiana DeMolay as the Personal Representative of the Grand Master of DeMolay. Any Master Mason, parent or adult guardian of a DeMolay who qualifies and participates in an Adult Training Program for Advisors and Volunteers can be associated with DeMolay Chapters and assist with the young men's events and activities. The Order of DeMolay is always looking for young men to become members and always looking for qualified Adults to serve as Advisors and Volunteers. Contact "Dad" Cook for assistance in joining with the Order of DeMolay.

Fraternally submitted,

Wilson O. Cook, EC, Chairman Stuart R. Averitt, PC Edward F. Pratt

American Masonic Fraternal Committee

Sir Knights,

The American Masonic Fraternal Committee was created under General Order No. 3 and in our first year of operation we developed the forms, policies, and guidelines to operate under the provisions of that general order. The purpose of our committee is to promote the various Commanderies subordinate to the Grand Commandery of Louisiana to get out and get involved in various patriotic activities around the state.

We the committee members believe this is a great cause and our budget is small however it went largely unused during the 2018 year. We are authorized to spend up to $50 to reimburse your Commanderies for up to one half of your expenses incurred while attending American patriotic activities.

There was only one reimbursement issued this year to Trinity Commandery No. 8 in the amount of $50 for their costs incurred of purchasing a floral wreath they used to participate in the Memorial Day wreath laying ceremony at the National Cemetery in Pineville, LA.

The event was attended by 6 Sir Knights, one of which was our Right Eminent Grand Commander.

Your committee humbly submits this report of its activities for the year and prays that more Commandery’s get involved in spreading Templary through your communities around the state via participation in the various patriotic activities around the state.

Yours in Christ,

L. Chad Koelling, PC, Chairman Jeremy Galster, PC Jeffrey M. Penn

Inspector General Report

My thanks to our Right Eminent Grand Commander for asking me to serve as Inspector General for this Commandery year replacing Sir Knight Allan K. Bean, PC when he was appointed Grand Recorder replacing Sir Knight Robert E. Durham, Jr., HPGC upon his retirement.

Sir Knight Bean, Sir Knight John Sharlow, PC and I gave careful consideration to the inspection grading system and developed a comprehensive scoring system so the Commanderies would know the criteria by which they would be inspected in advance of the inspection.

Page 68

We asked for and received approval from Right Eminent Grand Commander J. Keith Gates and Very Eminent Deputy Grand Commander Sam Owens so that this system could bring continuity to the inspection system from year to year.

In all, only one inspection was completed for the 10-Man Opening which included Bethlehem No. 20, Trinity No. 8, and Monroe No. 7; therefore, they receive the 10-Man Opening Award this year.

In the 16-Man Opening, there were only two inspections: Ascension No. 6 and a Multi-Commandery Inspection which included Indivisible Friends No. 1, Jaques DeMolay No. 2, St. Paul No. 27, and C.A. Everitt No. 29. Of these two inspections, Ascension No. 6 had the higher score and they receive the 16-Man Opening Award this year.

Schools of Instruction were approved for Malta No. 12, Payen No. 16, Istrouma No. 28, and Jerusalem UD No. 30.

No inspection or school of instruction request was received from Plains No. 11 or Rhodes No. 17.

Respectfully Submitted,

M. Darin West, PC Inspector General

FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

To the Right Eminent Grand Commander, Officers and Sir Knights of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of the State of Louisiana:

Your Finance Committee for the Templar Year 2018-2019 has reviewed the Grand Recorder’s accounting records for the year 2018 and concur that all entries and statements are entered properly and agree with the report of the Grand Treasurer.

The actual receipts were $49,091.22, which was $8,526.91 more than the proposed 2018 Budget. The additional income was primarily from $7,250.00 in unanticipated donations for the Holy Land Pilgrimage which more than offset the Holy Land Pilgrimage unbudgeted expenses.

The actual disbursements for 2018 were $37,691.86, which was $749.67 more than the proposed budget primarily from unbudgeted expenses for the Holy Land Pilgrimage without which the actual expenses would have been well under the budget.

During the year, no money was moved from long term investments to cover costs.

We submit a proposed budget for the Templar Year 2019-2020 which anticipates continued support for the Holy Land Pilgrimage as follows: Receipts for 2019= $39,196.92 Disbursements budget for 2019= $38,876.00

R.E. Sir, your Finance Committee submits this report for the approval of the Grand Commandery, and we so move at this time.

Submitted by Finance Committee, Samuel B. Owens, V.E.D.G.C. Chairman Rory A. Bozeman, E.G.G. Charles R. Bertrand, E.G.C.G. John F. Knox, Jr., P.C., Grand Treasurer Allan K. Bean, P.C., Grand Recorder
