To: All members of all subordinate Masonic Lodges in Nebraska,
**EDICT**
In keeping with the State of Emergency that has been declared both federally and in the State of Nebraska and acting under my authority as Grand Master of Masons in Nebraska, I do hereby order all lodge activities, including but not limited to all Regular and Special Communications of subordinate lodges, ritual practice, fund raising, and social events be cancelled until May 1, 2020.
This edict will be reviewed regularly. If the state of emergency is lifted or recommendations of State or Federal change, this edict will be revisited and updated as required.
I am confident this situation in time will resolve itself and I would ask that you keep in touch with those that are elderly and/or have health issues that place them at higher risk for exposure. Reach out to them and let them know that you are there for them. I would further request that you continue to pray for those afflicted, their families and caregivers, those treating the afflicted, and the local, state, and federal leaders.
As circumstances dictate, you will receive notice to you as soon as any changes in these policies are required. Please also see information below regarding Limitations of Visits to the Grand Lodge Office.
Fraternally yours,
Ronald D. Stites
