REPORT OF THE GRAND HIGH PRIEST

September 17, 2019 A.D 2549 A.I.

To: The Most Worshipful Grand Master, Most Excellent General

Grand High Priest, Most Excellent Past Grand High Priests of

Kentucky, elected and appointed Grand Chapter of Kentucky officers,

Distinguished Guests, Delegates and my Companions all:

Welcome to the 202nd annual convocation of the Grand

Chapter of Kentucky, Royal Arch Masons. It is my sincere hope and

wish that the past Capitular Year has been good for each of you, and

that all have prospered in that time. I know most of you won't believe

that I cannot find ample words at this time to express my thanks for the

opportunity to serve you this year. I never would have imagined at the

start of my Masonic career that I would have the privilege of heading

up one of the finest groups of individuals I have ever been associated

with. This year I have been able to travel across the Commonwealth of

Kentucky, as well as out of state, to make new friends and cultivate old

friendships along the way. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest of

the wages of a Master Mason.

My goal, when I decided to run for office, was to leave the

Grand Chapter better when I left, and I hope this has been

accomplished. The assistance and support of the elected officers has

been fantastic, and their advice has been both timely and wise. The

same can be said of all the Past Grands; thank all of you for your

council. A suggestion was made to have the elected officers meet once

a month to discuss what is happening in our travels and what our future

plans are for the Grand Chapter. This has proven to be very fruitful, as

we are able to discuss any ideas for the betterment of our body and I

know that you will be left in most capable hands. I am sure that our

incoming Grand Master will continue to allow presentations in Lodge,

as well as at District Meetings. I feel that this has aroused some

curiosity and desire for more light in all Masonic bodies. We did lose

membership this year, but I feel that the losses are leveling off.

I want to take the time to thank Most Illustrious Grand

Master Charles Durham and Right Eminent Grand Commander J.

William Riggs for their friendship and support this year. I cannot think

of anyone who can surpass Companion Durham as a true gentleman,

or Sir Knight Riggs in his passion for Masonry. My brothers, it has

been an honor to serve alongside you this year.

I have had the honor of attending the Grand Chapter of Ohio,

the Grand Chapter of Louisiana, and the Grand Chapter of Indiana and

the East Central Conference in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. I have also attended

the Grand Court of the Order of Amaranth, as well as the annual

convocations of DeMolay and The Rainbow Girls. I will also be

attending the Grand Chapter of Michigan and the Order of the Eastern

Star.

Recommendations:

1. My first suggestion is to have any candidate for elective

office in the Grand Chapter hold a High Priest proficiency card to hold

said office. I also feel that the Deputy Grand High Priests should also

be proficient. It is my opinion that, since we ask the constituent

chapters to open and close without books, we should be held to the

same standard. To do otherwise is a double standard.

2. My second is to remove section 115 of our Constitution

which refers to the sale/manufacture of alcoholic beverages.

This was removed from the Grand Lodge Constitution several years

ago.

I first need to thank my wife, Judy, for allowing me to pursue

this journey these past few years. I never would have made it without

her patience, permission and support along the way.

I also wish to thank all the Companions and Sir Knights of

the Danville York Rite bodies. Their support, guidance and advice

these past years have been absolutely essential to any success I may

have had. This is especially true of the York Rite office; they have

"headed off at the pass' several boo-boos I could have easily made.

Lastly, I want to thank the Craft for affording me the

opportunity to serve them the past four years. This is the highest honor

I have ever received, and I will cherish it to the end of my days. The

friendships that have been built in my travels are more precious than

rubies, and will always be held close to my heart. Thank you, God bless

you, and the Grand Chapter of Kentucky Royal Arch Masons.

Report of the Grand King

September 17, 2019 A.D 2549 A.I.

To the Most Excellent Grand High Priest, Officers and Companions

of the Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons of Kentucky:

IN spite of being laid up for 2 ½ months the to total knee

replacement and 6 weeks after fracturing a vertebra in my lower back,

I was still able to visit 32 chapters. I also attended 4 out of state Grand

sessions plus the East Central Conference in Ft. Wayne, IN. I attended

Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Tennessee. I am pleased to report that

during my visits every Chapter had enough members in attendance to

do a formal opening. Several years ago, this was not the case. Also,

many chapters did a fine job in performing the opening. I look forward

to next when I can visit all the chapters in the state.

Also, this year, the elected Grand Officers have been

meeting monthly to discuss various issues concerning the Grand

Chapter. This was started in February and has continued. The Grand

Secretary and Grand Treasurer have been included in these meetings

along with members of the Finance Committee. These meetings have

led to a better understanding of the needs of Grand Chapter and the

Craft.

REPORT OF THE GRAND CAPTAIN OF THE HOST

September 17, 2019 A.D 2549 A.I.

To: The Most Excellent Grand High Priest, Most Excellent Past Grand

High Priest, Right Excellent Grand Officers and Members of the

constituent Chapters of Royal Ach Masons of Kentucky.

First, I would like to thank all the Chapters across the

Commonwealth I have visited for their hospitality and fellowship. The

Page 29: THE GRAND CHAPTER OF KENTUCKY, ROYAL …...Elected and Appointed Grand Chapter Officers Royal Arch Masons of Kentucky 2018-2019 Ronald Ledford R.E. Grand High Priest 8307 Richmond

~ 25 ~

respect for the office of the Grand Officers has been carried out with

full Masonic decorum and is extremely humbling.

I would also like to thank the other Officers of the Grand

Chapter, James King, J.B. Hitt, MEGHP Ron Ledford, Rick Sears, and

George Arnold for their help and guidance over the past year. Their

knowledge and wisdom has been most beneficial to me as I learn to

carry out my duties as a Grand York Rite Officer.

I am excited to say York Rite Masonry is alive and growing

in the Commonwealth. Our numbers are growing in every corner of

the state and I would like to welcome all new members of the York

Rite. I have had the pleasure of witnessing good degree work by

dedicated Companions all across the state from the Mark Master in the

Chapter to the Order of the Temple in the Commandery and it is my

belief that we are making a lifelong impact on our new members.

Moving forward my focus is going to be on the members

who have gotten out of the habit of attending Lodge meetings

especially York Rite meetings, by inviting them back to see how things

have changed and how much fun can be had by attending. I am very

optimistic of the direction and growth for the York Rite of Kentucky.

To; The most excellent Grand High Priest, past most excellent Grand

High Priest, and members of the constituent Chapters Royal Arch

Masons of Kentucky.

The grand Secretary’s office continues to run efficiently

due to the efforts of Noel Sloan. And I personally wish to thank her

for her work and dedication.

I am happy to report that due to the efforts of the Grand High Priest

and the companions of Kentucky we have been able to reduce our

losses and have exalted 70 new companions this year. The statistical

portion of this report will better explain the membership statistics.

The Companions of Kentucky are to be congratulated for their efforts

this year in getting petitions for membership and for the conferral’s

across the state.

Without the assistance of the Secretaries across the

Commonwealth of Kentucky it would be impossible to operate the

office and we wish to thank them for their hard work and dedication

throughout this year.

Noel and myself, are honored to have been able to serve the

grand Chapter for another year and wish to thank the craft for

allowing us to do so.

DISTRIBUTION OF GRAND SECRETARY’S REPORT

It was moved by the Grand Secretary that his report be received and

distributed to appropriate committees.

Motion adopted.

GRAND TREASURER’S REPORT

LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY

September 17, 2019 A.D 2549 A.I.

To the Most Excellent Grand High Priest, Officers and Companions

of the Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons of Kentucky:

This is the Checking Account information for the General Fund of

the Grand Chapter:

Balance on hand, July 1, 2018

$16,407.21

Receipts July 1, 2018—June 30, 2019 44,712.95

Expenses July 1, 2018—June 30, 2019 (46,891.98)

Uncleared Checks 120.78

Balance on hand, June 30, 2019 $14,348.96

We are currently able to pay our current expenses from funds

received by July 1 of 2018. The Grand Secretary, Jim King, and the

office Secretary, Noel, and the Grand Officers did a good job in

keeping expenses lower than the budget you passed last September.

Noel now has more than six years’ experience with us and her attention

to detail is outstanding. Part of our improved position is the reduction

in expense we’ve enjoyed for the Grand Sessions. Opening the joint

account for expenses which are common to Chapter, Council, and

Commandery six years ago has enabled us to have a more accurate

distribution of these expenses, as opposed to the former way in which

we used a percentage for each body.

Last year’s budget allowed the removal of money from the

Permanent Fund, but no withdrawal was necessary. In addition, there

remains enough money in the checking account to cover any

extraordinary expense in the 2019-2020 fiscal year.

Any questions may be directed to me.

Report of the Permanent Fund Committee

To the Most Excellent Grand High Priest, Officers and Companions of

the Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons of Kentucky:

The Permanent Fund consists of One CD, (1) invested with

Morgan Stanley, in Goldman Sachs Bank NY, maturing on January 25,

2020. In addition, we have an Investment Account held by Morgan

Stanley of Louisville, Kentucky. We also have, outside the investment

account, a four, (4) year ladder corporate fixed income fund, with 1/4

of the total maturing each year. And lastly, we had a small cash

account.

Morgan Stanley Investment $396,298.95 as of July 31, 2019

maturing on 1/25/2020 - paying 2.408% at maturity

~ 30 ~

The Investment Account managed by Morgan Stanley is invested as

follows:

Cash - $ 9,310.12 2.09%

Equities - $285,342.07 63.98%

Fixed Income & preferred - $151,340.58 33.93%

Total Value $445,993.20 100.00%

Our total Permanent Fund account balance has grown

$21,990.06 in the past year. This represents a return of 4.34% on this

account since August 31, 2018. This return is after we pay the

management fee to Morgan Stanley.

We pay a management fee to Morgan Stanley of 1%. We have paid

management fees of $3,168.00 for three quarters, (3/4) of this year,

with one quarter, (1/4) yet to be paid.

When you consider all funds and our investment strategy as

a whole, we are invested at approximately 2.63% in cash, 43.18% in

fixed funds, and the remaining 54.19% in equities. This is mild to high

conservative investment strategy.

Remember, until we sell these investment funds with

Morgan Stanley, these are unrealized gains or losses. For reference, we

have averaged 10.25% for the past two, (2) years, or about 5% per year.

REPORT OF THE NECROLOGY COMMITTEE

September 17, 2019 A.D 2549 A.I.

To the Most Excellent Grand High Priest, Officers, and Companions

of the Grand Chapter of Kentucky, Royal Arch Masons.

Death is a most solemn theme, and even as we live, our minds are often

on the future and what it holds. The Holy writ tells us that it is

appointed unto man, once to die.” From this we cannot flee, nor should

we, if we place our faith in the Great I Am.

With such things in mind, let each of us remember the 55 Companions

who departed this earthly convocation during this capitular year. Also

remember their families and those closest to them in this life.

We are especially saddened by the passing of two of our Past Grand

High Priests:

Most Excellent Ernest Eugene (Gene) Atkins passed from us

on March 14, 2019. He presided over our Grand Chapter in 2003.

Most Excellent Norman Lee Harper passed from us on

March 1, 2019. He presided over our Grand Chapter in 1973.

2019 Proceedings of Grand Chapter of Kentucky

~ 45 ~

Most Excellent James Odell Atwood passed from us on

August 31, 2019. He presided over our Grand Chapter in 2006.

We also share in the losses of the Grand Council and the Grand

Commandery in their losses this year.

We pay tribute to these men who were special to our Fraternity, but

were more special to those who knew them personally. They were

great men before they were great masons. We will not forget them and

can rest assured that they now rest in God’s eternal care.

REPORT OF THE RARA STATE EXECUIVE OFFICER

September 17, 2019 A.D 2549 A.I.

Companions

This year from September 19, 2018 thru August 22,2019 total

donations received $23,027.50. This amount includes the donations

made from the RARA dinner and Kosair Charities. The total amount

that has been donated from 09/30/2013 thru 08/22/19 is $126,247.13

Companions there is a new way to donate to RARA you can go to

givetorara.org and make donation by credit card.

The Last two years the Grand Chapter budgeted $800.00 dollars each

year as startup money for the RARA Dinner. When I turned the

donations in to RARA I mistakenly donated that money to RARA

instead of returning it back to the Grand Chapter. The Grand Chapter

is aware of this and I apologize to the Grand Chapter and the Craft for

this mistake.

I want to thank the Companions of W R Selby Chapter form all of the

hard work they do to make the RARA Dinner the success it has been

over the past six years. I could not have made it happen without all of

the support you have given to this event. I also want to thank Kosair

Charities for their generosity in supporting our charity.

I wish MEGHP Ron Ledford the best in his endeavors as new RARA

Director and I ask each of you to continue to support him as you have

supported me over the last 6 years

To The Past Grand High Priests, elected and appointed Grand Officers

and all of the Companions of the Grand Chapter of Kentucky, Royal

Arch Masons:

I want to thank every member of the Royal Arch in allowing me to

serve as your Grand High Priest for the upcoming year, it will be an

honor.

During the past three years as I have traveled across the state visiting

the various Chapters, I have observed in the first couple of years that

some Chapters struggled having enough Companions in attendance to

open their Chapters. This last year that is not the case, every Chapter

Page 56: THE GRAND CHAPTER OF KENTUCKY, ROYAL …...Elected and Appointed Grand Chapter Officers Royal Arch Masons of Kentucky 2018-2019 Ronald Ledford R.E. Grand High Priest 8307 Richmond

2019 Proceedings of Grand Chapter of Kentucky

~ 52 ~

I have visited has been able to open in “full form”. This Year it is My

goal for the craft, that each Chapter increases ATTENDENCE by

15%. As I write this address I have the advantage in seeing a sneak

preview of what our membership numbers are going to be in the

Annual Report, we will have a net loss of about 100 members. I don’t

claim to know how to stop the reversal of membership, but it is my

belief that if we work on increasing attendance, then membership will

follow. We need to give our members reason to want to attend and

others to join.

I want to also see continued cooperation between the Grand Lodge and

the York Rite. We need to continue making presentations at the

District Meetings and just as importantly presentations in the Lodge

Meetings.

I have stated at many Chapter meetings the need to support the RARA

and as an incentive to attend the RARA Dinner I will grant an

additional 10 points on those Chapters inspection forms that have the

top four officers attending the RARA dinner.

Lets have a good year by having fun and good fellowship.

Remember:

“If you love Masonry, you will want to come,”

“If you love Masonry, you will need to come, “

“If you love Masonry, you will come.”

Fraternally thine,

Rick Sears Rick Sears
