Thinking Outside the Box

The report given by, V.Wor. Bro. Cliff Parfett and present to the Board of General Purposes, a copy of which you can read in this paper, is a well thought out working document. It clearly points out the problems facing the Masonic Foundation concerning the upkeep of the building we know as Grand Lodge. The problems facing the structure of the building and the expenses over the next 5 years is clear and plain. The report also offers possibilities in which this money can be raised. Am I the only one who is skeptical?
