In Europe there was established a Grand Lodge Board of General Purposes. it is the Legal or legislative arm of the Grand Lodge. So over 50 years ago, in Michigan, we set up a similar system. They deal with the ethics and accountability of Grand Lodge and are the Legislative arm of the craft. they are the eyes and ears of Grand Lodge to the local Lodges. They meet once a quarter, and today was one of those meetings at Masonic Pathways in Alma. I happen to have served this group for many years and ultimately was its BGP President in 1994. After this meeting, I headed to Grand Blanc to witness the honoring or reception of Linda Koshowsky, Grand Guardian and Freeman Greer, Associate Grand Guardian, adult leaders of Job's Daughters International here in Michigan. Again, I served as AGG in 2007 with Carolyn McClure, GG, and Miss Katie Paauwe as GBHQ. Here's a couple pictures of the Girls at the end of the meeting performing the Lighted cross ceremony. To honor these adults, the Daughters performed the ceremony of initiation for 4 new members, Sabrina, Maria, Krista and Destiny.
