Important message fr onom Gerry Mosler, Past Grand Matron and Chairman of the Jurisprudence Committee 

Sisters and Brothers, as Chairman of Jurisprudence this year, I am providing information on how Washington Grand Chapter will progress following the passing of WGP Jack Branch.

Per the CONSTITUTION, BY-LAWS and PENAL CODE of the GRAND CHAPTER OF WASHINGTON and the installation part in our Ritual, Associate Grand Patron Darel Maxfield Sr is now Acting Worthy Grand Patron and assumes all of the duties of the WGP. He is to be introduced as Acting WGP and accorded all of the courtesies of the WGP. He and AGM Sister Eileen Winstead will continue to plan their year and look forward to serving in the Grand East together in 2024-25.

These are unprecedented times for our jurisdiction and we need to support one another as we move forward. I am sure more information will be forthcoming to the chapters. 

I hope this will help clear up any confusion there might be.
