On July 13 & 14, 2013, the Grand Lecturer and the Grand Lodge Ritual Committee met at Temescal Palms No. 314 in Corona with two OUTSTANDING ritual teams: The “Stan Salter Memorial School of Masonic Instruction Ritual Team” under the direction of Worshipful Jack McEnterfer, and the Division 8 Ritual Team under the direction of Worshipful Robert Barden. The purpose of the meeting was to validate the content of the draft version of the Ritual Floor Work Manual. The Stan Salter Memorial School of Masonic Instruction Ritual Team exemplified the First and Second Degrees and the Division 8 Ritual Team exemplified the Third Degree. The ritual work performed by these two degree teams was absolutely flawless and allowed the Ritual Committee to ensure the upcoming final version of the Floor Work Manual would be easily understood by the Craft as a tool to refresh their memory relative to our floor work. The Grand Lecturer wishes to thank all those who participated in the exemplifications as well as to the Master of Temescal Palms Lodge, Worshipful Michael Padilla, the Brethren of Temescal Palms Lodge who prepared and served our meals, their District Inspector, Worshipful John Channon, and their Assistant Grand Lecturer, Worshipful Frank Lee, who coordinated this event. The Grand Lecturer says, “Thank you for your outstanding work to cement our ritual into the future. May God Bless all of you.”
