Registry Department

The card stock for the new 2007 members' Dues Cards are being printed by our supplier as we write this message. We should have the card stock from the printer by the end of next week and we will begin printing the individual Dues Cards for each Lodge. We plan to mail the Dues Cards using Priority Mail with Delivery Signature/Confirmation to each Lodge Secretary as they are printed in batches commencing one to two weeks from today.

The delay was caused by design changes that created some technical problems.

Now that the problems have been solved, we are going to get a jump on the Dues Cards for 2008, which will be printed within the first quarter of 2007. We anticipate mailing the 2008 Dues Cards as soon as your 2006 Annual Returns have been successfully audited (beginning March/April 2007)

What is the Registry Department?

The Grand Lodge Registry is the "big database in the sky" sort of speaking. All records of Masons alive today and yesteryear are kept on file.

Should you have questions on MORI or any other topic which you would typically use the telephone to call, feel free to use Email.
