The Georgia Council of Higher Degrees

Time just keeps scooting by, we rapidly approaching the heat of the summer and once again it is time for the Council of Higher Degree to have a summer time meeting. This one will be in Henry County Lodge on July 20th. Officers will meet at 11 AM with lunch at Noon, followed by general meeting at 1 PM. All members of the Higher Degree are encouraged to attend.

This meeting will be merged with the Chattahoochee Valley Moose Legion #130 summer celebration. With the costs of everything being what they are, we are working diligently to combine our meetings along with others to encourage people to travel once for meetings and not have additional expenses.

Should you have any specific ideas or proposals for the board, please submit them to any board member in writing. We want your input and suggestions for the better of the fraternity.

We encourage all members of the Higher Degree to support Mooseheart, Moosehaven, your local lodges and chapters as well as your Moose Legions. Remember, “Do some good thing for someone each day”.

Looking forward to seeing each and every one of you in Henry County on July 20th.
