The great State of North Carolina has not had a certified Ritual Judge for several years.  This means if any of our prospective Ritual Teams wish to compete at the State or Grand Lodge level we would have to bring in judges from another State or have the team travel to another State to be judged.  On January 17 2015 hopefully that will change!  Our Area 3 Ritual Chairman Mr. Doug Jones has agreed to travel to the Greensboro Lodge to put on a one day Ritual training clinic.  The clinic will be open to past judges or Past Exalted Rulers.  Current ER’s are invited to participate but they will not receive their credentials until they become a PER.  If you have team that would like to perform at this clinic please let me know as we will need a demonstration team for proper judging.  For more information please contact John Lawrence.

Also there will be an Eleven O’clock Toast contest at the Spring Convention in Wilmington.  There will again be two divisions, one for current ER’s and one open division for anyone else wishing to compete.

Fraternally,
John Lawrence
State Ritual Chairman
