Unity Chapter #16 is one of the oldest chapters in our district but like many has been struggling. I decided that in order to help them stay open I would become a dual member. We also got a member who received his 50 year award just a couple months back to come back to take an office. He originally got to the Principal Sojourner position in the early 80's and had to drop out of line for the good of his business. It was determined that we need to look at the future of Unity Chapter in a completely different way as there are 2 other Royal Arch Chapters meeting in the Dayton Masonic Center as well. Tonight we voted to change the by-laws to only meet the required 4 times per year but now meeting during the day with a lunch before the meeting. There seemed to be an enthusiasm about the potential future of the Chapter and had around 10-12 in attendance where often during the past year 4 might be all the came for the meetings. While only time will tell, it appears we have at least 3 years of persons who have stepped forth to become High Priest and might have a full line of officers for elections next month. We are also hoping that several York Rite Masons in the temple who were very active but stopped coming because they couldn't drive at night might start coming back.
