Trinity Chapter Stated Meeting (& Minerva Lodge candidate balloting)

Tonight Minerva Lodge (my Lodge) held a special meeting and balloted on a couple more candidates for the Grand Master's Class coming up in April. That now makes 9 so far and at least 3-4 more are promised. Hopefully, Trinity Chapter (my Chapter) will fair as well from the raising of several new members of Minerva Lodge in April. We also held the Stated Meeting for Trinity Chapter this evening. We got several items accomplished and I'm happy to report that we had 16 members in attendance. we also planned out the Royal Arch degree for the current 3 candidates who have already received their MEM degree. We unfortunately had to discuss the same issue most Chapters are facing declining income and increased expenses which makes for the tough decision of raising dues and initiation fees. Actually, we are still one of the cheaper Chapters in this area but it is always difficult when you have to raise costs.
