Sorrow in the fact that this Nation faced one of the worst pandemics, and tremendous adversity, of our lifetime. Sorrow also for those who died from the COVID-19 virus or other causes, including two of our distinguished Board Members: M.W. Bro. Stephen J. Ponzillo III and M.W. Bro. John R. “Bo” Cline. Joy in knowing that the Supreme Architect of the Universe has, once again, preserved and blessed this great country of ours, fractured as it may be. Joy further in knowing that we have yet another chance to preserve our Constitutional rights and freedoms given to us by our Founding Fathers. Joy in knowing that Freemasonry, although down in numbers, is as strong and relevant as ever. J.F. “Jeff ” Webb 2020 is the year nobody planned for. As the Board prepared the Memorial’s 2020 budget (in 2019) no one ever thought that the Memorial would be closed down for months and Opposite: Brilliant colors then opened on a very limited basis. The Memorial suffered financially due to lost operating are revealed as the sun revenue, but our “well-seasoned” Executive Director, George Seghers, successfully guided sets behind the George the Memorial through the troubled waters. We were blessed to have retained all of our full- Washington Masonic National Memorial on time employees and they did a marvelous job under great duress. This accomplishment could July 28, 2020. not have been achieved without the financial support of our Grand Lodges and Brethren. Our gratitude goes out to all who contributed to this worthy endeavor. As we are still faced with financial constraints, we ask and pray for your continued support, ever remembering that “the Memorial is yours!” As I depart the Board, I can sum up my feelings by saying that my twelve-year tenure on the Board of Directors was a blessing. I had the opportunity to work and travel with some of the top Masonic leaders in the country. During the exchange of ideas at our meetings, I learned from each of these Board Members and thank them for their willingness to share their knowledge and wisdom. Each contributed freely of his time, talent, and energy to support the Memorial and bring it forward. None of these Board Members, or Officers, ever sought recognition, they only desired to fulfill the mission of the Memorial: To inspire humanity through education to emulate and promote the virtues, character, and vision of George Washington, the Man, the Mason, and Father of our Country. And they did! I leave the Board with full confidence that the Memorial is in good hands, not only to soon close out the first 100 years since the Memorial cornerstone was set, but to carry it forward into the beginning of its second century. Mark your calendar now: February 2023 will be the Memorial’s Centennial Cornerstone Celebration. As I have often stated, every Mason should make a pilgrimage to the Memorial—and this will be a prime opportunity. From the bottom of my heart: “Thanks to all Masons, where-so-ever dispersed, for allowing me the honor and privilege of serving on the Board of Directors, and as President, of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association.” 5 6 REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR T his has been a year of many challenges and a few accomplishments. We are saddened to report the loss of two of our Board Members. Brother Stephen Ponzillo and Brother Bo Cline passed to the Celestial Lodge. These were honest, intelligent, upright, honorable men who both held the Memorial close to their hearts. Their presence and participation is greatly missed. The closing of the Memorial for the entire tourist season resulted in a loss of $447,143 in revenue. Our greatest challenge is funding the continued operation, restoration, and conservation of the Memorial. Much has been accomplished to restore and conserve the Memorial—however, there is still much to be done. George D. Seghers Restoration of the Memorial An extensive study and inspection of the condition of the Memorial was completed in 2009. Opposite: The String The resulting Conditions Report, along with the original blueprints, became the basis and Quartet of Northern the reference for the restoration and conservation of the Memorial. One of the largest Virginia performs at the 2020 Washington’s Birthday Gala. and most expensive projects was the complete restoration and conservation of the United States Capitol Cornerstone Ceremony mural in Memorial Hall. The painting was damaged from two sources: the penetration of water from the windows located above the mural and the 2011 earthquake. The mural was removed, the interior wall behind it demolished and completely rebuilt, and the mural reinstalled in 2018. This year we completed the installation of new bronze-framed, amber glass windows in Memorial Hall. We referred to and used the original blueprints as the basis for the design, manufacture, and installation of the windows. Memorial Hall now glows with a golden light, just as the original design called for. Due to the lack of funding this year, we did not do restoration work on the exterior stone work of the Memorial. However, the Memorial tower, from the third level to the top of the pyramid, has been totally restored and conserved. The clean, gleaming granite reflects and radiates light as it was meant to do, to spread the Light of Freemasonry to the world. We must, as individuals and as an organization, do our best to support, sustain, and perpetuate the Memorial and its mission. Annual George Washington Birthday Celebration The Annual George Washington Birthday Celebration was an outstanding success. Once again the event was sold out and a good time was had by all attendees. The event began with The George Washington Symposium in the Theater. The theme was George Washington’s Construction of the United States Capitol. Presenters were: Samuel Holliday who spoke on “George Washington and the City that Bears His Name,” and Michele Cohen who presented “George Washington’s Capitol.” S. Brent Morris, recipient of the 2020 George Washington Memorial Award, gave the final presentation, “Precursors of and Influences on the 1793 U.S. Capitol Cornerstone Ceremony.” The evening festivities began with receptions for Members of the George Washington Memorial Society and the Birthday Celebration attendees. The attendees then enjoyed a performance by The String Quartet of Northern Virginia with quest soloist Aurelio Domínguez. The Gala Banquet followed in Grand Masonic Hall with 7 appropriate toasts. The final event of the evening was the presentation of the George Washington Memorial Award to S. Brent Morris, Masonic Scholar and Author and managing editor of The Scottish Rite Journal. Brother Morris presented a truly enlightening talk titled “In Praise of Punctuation: The Case for the Missing Semicolon,” which revealed how a typographical error led many to believe Washington acted as Grand Master Pro Tempore during the 1793 Cornerstone laying of the U.S. Capitol. The George Washington Memorial Award honors authors and other individuals who have promoted the virtues, character, and vision of George Washington and the values of Freemasonry. The award was created in 2007 in celebration of George Washington’s 275th Birthday. Recipients are presented with the bronze medallion and a monetary prize. The annual George Washington Birthday Celebration honors the birth, life, and accomplishments of Brother Washington. As part of the celebration, exhibits for the Scottish Rite and Shriners International were officially opened in The Family of Freemasonry Exhibit by both Sovereign Grand Commanders, the Imperial Potentate, and the Memorial President. The Family of Freemasonry is now completed and truly presents the many facets of American Freemasonry. Top: Memorial Association Memorial Programs President J.F. “Jeff ” Webb The George Washington Memorial Society. On August 19, 2011, the Board presents the George Washington Memorial of Directors approved the creation of a society dedicated to the support of the George Award to S. Brent Morris.

The Society now has forty-seven member Lodges. Washington and the two grand murals. The Grand Lodge of the Month Program. This successful program was inaugurated in 2000 and continues to create awareness of and support for the Memorial. The Grand Lodge of the Month display is located in The Form and Function of American Freemasonry exhibit on the first floor of the Memorial. The state flag of the Grand Lodge being recognized is flown at the Memorial for the month. Signage and the Memorial website provide information about the Grand Lodge and the Grand Lodge of the Month Program. Dedicatory Tree Program. This ongoing program was conceived and initiated in 2001 to beautify the Memorial grounds, reduce erosion and run-off, provide a habitat for birds and wildlife and to establish a tree canopy to create much-needed oxygen for the community. 770 trees and 17 granite benches have been dedicated since the inception of the 9 program in 2001. The program is a meaningful way to honor and remember individuals and organizations with a living memorial. Light. The publication was named Light to signify the function of the Memorial spreading Masonic Light to the four corners of the world. This year, due to the lack of funds, the production and distribution of Light changed dramatically. The first issue for this year was mailed to only 13,649 addresses compared to 405,231 addresses last year. We then contacted our Member Grand Lodges and asked that they distribute Light electronically to their members. Calendar. This year and for the first time, the Memorial produced and mailed a Calendar as a fundraising project. The project was quite expensive as 427,244 calendars were produced and mailed. The response and contributions have been very impressive. Holiday Ornaments. The Holiday Ornament for 2020 is The Master’s Square. This ornament features the Square, an emblem that is worn by the Master of every regular lodge of Masons. Invested with this jewel at his installation, the Master is reminded of the Masonic teaching that each of his actions should be squared or made consistent with the “Square of Virtue.” In geometry, the Square is defined as an angle of ninety degree or the fourth part of a circle. This is known as a “right angle” because its use allows structures to The 2020 Holiday Ornament: come together properly. As such, it is an essential tool in architecture and stonemasonry. The Master’s Square. Cornerstone Re-enactment. 2023 will be the centennial of the Laying of the Memorial Cornerstone. The Memorial Association will re-enact the Laying of the Memorial Cornerstone with the support and participation of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, the Conference of Grand Masters of North America and the City of Alexandria. A committee has been established and planning is underway for this historic event. The George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association is composed of 52 Grand Lodges. These are the fifty States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The Grand Lodges are represented on the 21 Member Board of Directors by a Grand Master or Past Grand Master. These Board Members represent the actual owners of the Memorial, the members of the Grand Lodges, thus the Memorial belongs to the Freemasons of the United States. Thank you for your continuing support of your Memorial which allows us to fulfill the mission of the Memorial Association which is “To inspire humanity through education to emulate and promote the virtues, character, and vision of George Washington, the Man, the Mason, and Father of our Country.” 10 Memorial Collections, Library & Exhibits Museum Collections. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the collection received only eight donations totaling more than thirty items in 2020. However, part-time staff and volunteers were able to add over 400 catalog records into the museum database. The Association’s museum collection totals more than 3,000 items, each was described, digitally photographed, and individually numbered with an assigned storage location and a file folder. Each item’s digital image is linked within the database and available through the network drive. We are happy to maintain long-term loans of the archives and artifacts of several Masonic organizations, including Federal Lodge No- 1, F.A.A.M. of the District of Columbia, the Masonic Service Association of North America, National Sojourners, Inc., and the Order of the Amaranth. Louis A. Watres Library. The library remains organized and ready for cataloging. Less than twenty books were added to the collection over the year. The Mezzanine Floor within the tower is fully organized with each U.S. Masonic grand jurisdiction easily accessible. Complete collections of the annual proceedings of most U.S. State Grand York Rite and other Masonic governing bodies were organized, cleaned, and shelved in the floor’s “clean room.” Exhibits and Displays Grand Lodge of the Month Program. The 2020 Grand Lodge of the Month program included displays within The Form and Function of American Freemasonry exhibit. We received material from Grand Lodges of Delaware, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. Other Projects Washington’s Birthday Symposium. As part of the annual George Washington Birthday Celebration, the 2020 public symposium was held. Titled George Washington and the U.S. Capitol, the three speakers were Samuel Holliday, Manager of Communications, U.S. Capitol Historical Society; Michele Cohen, Ph.D., Curator, Curator Division, Architect of the Capitol; and S. Brent Morris, Ph.D., Managing Editor, The Scottish Rite Journal, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction. Over 150 people enjoyed the Saturday afternoon event. George Washington Masonic “Evidence Book.” In 2020 the manuscript of “A Deserving Brother”—George Washington and Freemasonry was delivered to the University of Virginia Press for production and publication. Counting over 90,000 words and 600 endnotes, it includes 50 color images related to George Washington’s membership in, and relationship to, Freemasonry. The book ranges from Washington’s 1752 initiation at the Lodge at Fredericksburg through his 1799 funeral with Masonic rites performed by the brothers of Alexandria Lodge No- 22. The book is expected to be publicly available in early 2022. 11 “Masonry Never Stops” mask. Gift of the Grand Lodge of New York, Free & Accepted Masons (2020.010.01). Face masks were a requirement for most Masonic meetings in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. THE MASONIC DIGITAL ARCHIVES. The following Grand Lodge, Grand Chapter, Grand Council, and Grand Commandery proceedings were digitized in 2020: Massachusetts Missouri New Hampshire Ohio Michigan Montana New Jersey Oklahoma Minnesota Nebraska New Mexico Pennsylvania Mississippi Nevada New York Virginia The following Grand Lodge collections were added to the Luna Imaging search engine: Arizona, California, District of Columbia, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The Memorial’s website added new pages introducing the project and organizing the online collections. Publications and service to the Craft. In 2020 in-person talks were given to The Masonic Society and the Conference of Grand Secretaries of North America. Presentations via internet video conference software to Massachusetts Freemasons of the 3rd Masonic District; Scottish Rite Valley of Dayton, Ohio; Lexington Lodge No- 1, Lexington, Kentucky; Alexandria-Washington Lodge No- 22; and the Grand Lodge of California. Six short video presentations on aspects of Washington’s Masonic membership were produced for the Memorial’s social media platforms. One article, “A Temple within a Garden,” appeared in LIGHT, volume 26, issue 1. I remain thankful for your continued support and look forward to another successful year in service to the Craft and George Washington. Mark A.

The Memorial connects each visitor to history and heritage, linking George Washington’s legacy to the present. Numerous means are used to communicate that vital message, including printed reports and newsletters, web pages, social media, guided tours, speechwriting, and public appearances. Fundraising & Development One of the key functions of the Memorial’s Communications office is supporting our fundraising efforts. We thank all of our donors for their enthusiastic support. The Landmark Century Campaign. The announcement of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial’s designation as a National Historic Landmark in 2015 brought a fresh recognition of the important role that the Memorial occupies. The National Park Service emphasized the Memorial’s unique identity as “the only major unified, fully national initiative of the Freemasons and among the boldest attempts by a private organization to memorialize George Washington.” In their report, they hoped that this designation would promote a “preservation ethic” among those who care for the Memorial. Such a preservation ethic is firmly in place among the Memorial Association’s leaders, and, at their direction, a capital campaign was designed in 2016 in order to promote that commitment to restoration within the Masonic world as well as the community at large. Inspired by the Memorial’s designation as a National Historic Landmark, the new Landmark Century Campaign is designed to embody that ethic of preservation and improvement. The goal is to raise $6.5 million in order to complete the interior and exterior restoration of the building already underway. Not since the original construction of the Memorial have we engaged in a fundraising endeavor of this scope. Contributions to the Landmark Century Campaign are cumulative over time, and by using the Memorial’s website or contacting the Memorial, donors may make monthly pledges in amounts to fit any budget. This means that a monthly pledge of $25 or more will accumulate over time, passing through the levels of recognition that are noted in our publications and on our website (see pages 31 to 66 for a list of recent contributors by level). Because the Memorial is a 501(c)(3) educational foundation, these donations are tax- deductible to the full extent of the law. Individuals, Lodges, Grand Lodges, and other organizations may all participate in the Landmark Century Campaign. The Campaign is promoted via the updated Memorial website, Facebook, the LIGHT newsletter, and through the Landmark Century Campaign Opposite: A water taxi on brochure. Participation in the campaign has been growing steadily, driven by widespread the Potomac ferries passengers interest in the Memorial’s restoration efforts. from Alexandria to National Harbor as the Memorial The Friends of the Memorial program is a key component of the campaign, bringing in stands over the city of 60.6% of the Landmark Century total. Gifts to the Friends program may be made singly or Alexandria. 15 through a monthly pledge. In 2020, 3,231 people participated in the Friends program. The average annual contribution for participants in the Friends program in 2020 was $84.28. Another major aspect of the Landmark Century Campaign is the Patron Pledge. A Patron is any donor who has given $5,000 or more to the Memorial Association over time (excluding tree dedications and George Washington Memorial Society dues, and donations by Masonic governing bodies). In 2020, the number of Patrons increased by 19 to a total of 107. Patrons gave an average of $3,687.13 in 2020, up 525.7% from 2019. We are especially grateful to our Patrons for their robust support during the past year. A monthly payment option is available, allowing a donor to take the Patron Pledge in amounts of $100 or more. This is intended to encourage participation in the Patron levels among those who wish to do so with smaller amounts over time. Monthly donations accounted for 5.34% of total Friends and Patrons giving in 2020. Through the generosity of our supporters, we continue to make progress toward fulfilling the Memorial’s important mission. Digital Communications Website. Our website, www.gwmemorial.org, is an important resource for those who wish to learn about our services, activities, events, and history. The Memorial’s web presence uses latest standard, html5. One of the key benefits of this technology is that it allows responsive layout of the design, which means that the site’s appearance is more flexible based upon whether the user is viewing gwmemorial.org on a large desktop screen or the smaller screen of a mobile device. The website supported 314,091 visits in 2020. Virtual Tours. Using a technology called photogrammetry, the Memorial is now offering an extensive virtual tour experience. During the period in which the Memorial was closed to the public, I scanned all of the public spaces of the building using a special camera that captures three-dimensional images in high resolution. Those with access to virtual reality equipment such as an Oculus Quest may enjoy a completely immersive experience of actually standing within the Memorial, right from the comfort of their homes. The tours also work on typical computer, tablet, or smartphone. Included in the virtual tour selections are Memorial Hall (including the Portico and areas immediately outside the façade), the Replica Lodge Room, The Family of Freemasonry Exhibit, The George Washington Museum, the Templar Chapel, the Observation Deck, the North and South Lodge Rooms, the Memorial Theater, The Form and Function of Freemasonry Exhibit, and The Golden Age of Masonic Architecture Exhibit. Many parts of the virtual tour include special features. For example, in Memorial Hall, at the famous mural depicting George Washington laying the cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol in 1793, there is a button that allows the virtual visitor to see the short film that was produced about the restoration of that painting. And in the 4th floor George Washington Museum, guests may select detailed information about some of the artifacts on display there. In 2020, over 10,500 visitors “walked through” all of these beautiful and informative spaces in virtual reality—far more than were able to visit the Memorial physically due to the coronavirus pandemic. To experience the tour yourself, visit www.gwmemorial.org/virtual and follow the directions on the screen. 16 New 3D scans of the Memorial’s galleries opens up a new world of virtual reality exhibits. Here, hundreds of scans combine into a unified digital model of the George Washington Museum on the Memorial’s 4th floor. This digital twin of the exhibit may be experienced on our website. Social Media. The Memorial is very active on the dominant social media platform, Facebook. Our highly popular Facebook page promotes widespread awareness of the Memorial, advertises events, recommends Gift Shop purchases, highlights new exhibits, and promotes tourism. Most posts generate between 2,000 and 6,000 views. Audience growth is actively pursued. On December 31, 2020, our Facebook page had 28,994 followers— an increase of 1,972, up 7.3% from the last year’s number. Some of our most popular Facebook updates of 2020 were promotions of the new virtual tours and messages about George Washington’s Masonic degrees. Print Materials Traditional print design is also a major part of our communications work. Each year, the Memorial makes use of a variety of documents, all of which reflect production values appropriate to the Memorial’s inspiring mission. Capital Campaign Mailings. The need to communicate the capital campaign resulted in a new kind of strategic mailing. Our Landmark Century Campaign mailing is a photographically-rich eight-page brochure with an integrated, detachable, postage-paid envelope. It was mailed to a larger number of potential donors than our prior direct appeals, with positive results. Each version of the mailing is updated with the latest information on the progress of the restoration work. 17 Light newsletter. Two editions of LIGHT of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial, our newsletter, were produced in 2020. This key publication is one of our primary modes of outreach and communication. The newsletter continues to be issued in the expanded 16-page format, which allows for greater and more substantial communication with our constituency. Physical distribution of the newsletter was reduced in 2020 as a temporary cost-saving measure. We would like to thank the many Grand Lodges who assisted us by sharing the links to the online versions of LIGHT to their members. The 2021 Memorial Calendar unites lavish photography with information about George 2019 Annual Report. The 45-page 2019 Washington. Both educational Annual Report was created in February and and practical, it has inspired distributed to our Active Members and many first-time donors to the major supporters. Memorial. 2021 Memorial Calendar. In 2020, the Memorial produced its first wall calendar. This popular item features a photograph for each month alongside quotes from or about George Washington. Dates important to George Washington’s life are noted throughout. 427,244 copies of the calendar were distributed. Washington’s Rules of Civility. At the beginning of 2015, a pocket edition of George Washington’s Rules of Civility was produced for distribution at the Conference of Grand Masters in North America. The Memorial has since made them available in several ways. Quantities are distributed upon request to Masonic organizations. Copies are offered as a gift to all visitors at the Memorial’s front desk. Photography. The Director of Communications continues to provide day-to-day photography services for the Memorial, covering general needs, special events, architectural perspectives, maintenance projects, and promotional photography. These images form the majority of those used in our print collateral and online presence. By exploring opportunities to see the Memorial in new ways, we are enabled to relate the Memorial’s place in the context of the community more vividly and to promote awareness and visitation. Promotion Presentations. In 2020, I made a large number of presentations about the Memorial and Masonic topics. Due to the coronavirus emergency, in-person appearances were limited to a lecture at the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia’s visitation, and another at William R. Singleton-Hope-Lebanon Lodge No- 7 in Washington, D.C. I also provided a personal 18 presence at the Memorial’s table display at the AMD Masonic Week in Arlington, Virginia. With social distancing measures in place, most Masonic activity shifted to online teleconferencing. I was a presenter for many online gatherings, including the Martinez Lodge No- 41 of California, Ohio’s Society of Past Masters, and the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire’s Virtual Day of Light, hosted by Anniversary Lodge of Research No- 175. Ambassador Training. The revitalization of the Memorial Association’s Ambassador program is an important aspect of our work. The purpose of this program is to expand the mission of the Memorial Association into our member jurisdictions. Ambassadors spread the core message of the Memorial by promoting the virtues and character of George Washington within their home jurisdictions through education, special events, and advocacy. On February 29 and March 1, 2020, a special two-day training was held in Lincoln, Nebraska, for ten new Memorial Ambassadors from that state. Potential Ambassadors attend these trainings to join in an interactive seminar designed to identify their individual skills. New Ambassadors are appointed for a three-year term, which is renewable. After an orientation and brainstorming session, each Ambassador outlines a set of goals for his region of the state. These goals are tailored to each Ambassador’s interests, skills, and strengths. In further developing the new Ambassador program, we are grateful for the assistance provided by Vice President Claire V. Tusch of Maine. For a list of current Ambassadors by state, please see page 25. Tourism and Visitation. While our print outreach and digital marketing continue to grow in scope and prominence, the message of the Memorial is communicated most powerfully through our guided tours. In 2020, the Memorial’s one-hour interpretive guided tour was adapted for social distancing. In order to support the tour guides in their work, the Director of Communications maintains and updates the Memorial’s Tour Handbook. I placed our advertisement in the new Alexandria Visitors Guide, designed to rekindle tourism as the pandemic emergency resolves. I also coordinated the Memorial’s appearance in the new Alex-opoly game produced by the Chamber of Commerce, which features local landmarks. Other Activities. In order to better serve the Memorial’s present and future needs, in 2020 I completed all coursework for a graduate degree in Management from Harvard University. Taking a combination of on-campus and remote courses, I tailored this program to focus on community engagement, finance, museum issues, and fundraising, and was awarded additional certificates in Nonprofit Management and Strategic Management. I continue to maintain professional certification as a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE), and to serve on the city’s Historic Alexandria Resources Commission. As independent fundraising activities, I hosted two “virtual” Feasts of St. John in 2020, which were attended by hundreds of Freemasons from around the world, with all proceeds benefiting the Memorial. I also began an educational project, the Early Texts of Freemasonry seminar series. Students are encouraged to become Memorial donors. These educational activities raised $8,378.10 for the Memorial in their first year. Shawn E. Eyer Director of Communications 19 20 Member Services F rom its inception, the Memorial was created to honor the memory, character and legacy of Brother George Washington, our most beloved Illustrious Brother and first President of the United States. To further this goal, we have various memberships one may join to promote the mission of the Memorial as well as offer public tours to visitors to educate them about George Washington and Freemasonry in the United States. Tours. This year, the Coronavirus pandemic had a large effect on visitation. The Memorial was closed from the middle of March until mid-July, almost four months. We had 4,307 paid visitors compared to 20,000 paid visitors from the last few years. In order to reopen to the public, the tours were modified to include only the first and second floors as the elevators and some of the upper floors are too small to accommodate groups of people while practicing the required social distancing. The tours give a different experience than our standard tours, allowing a fresh experience for everyone. To keep guests and staff alike safe, we have increased cleaning and sanitation procedures and implemented new safety protocols. People were required to wear masks throughout the building and had their temperature taken when entering. Tours were limited to 15 persons and visitors were restricted from traveling to other parts of the building when not on a tour to allow staff to better sanitize public places between tours. Volunteers. The Memorial had started having volunteers and tour guides working on various projects this year. An ongoing project is the Masonic Digital Archives program, where we are digitizing United States Masonic proceedings from Grand Lodges, Grand Royal Arch Chapters, Grand Cryptic Councils, and Grand Knights Templar Commanderies. Since coordinating the volunteers and tour guides on these tasks, we were able to greatly increase our output and expect to scan a majority of all 52 jurisdictions Grand Lodge and York Rite proceedings by the end of next year. Other tasks included training staff on PastPerfect museum collection software, to help us manually transfer data into the new software, assisting with organizing, sorting and cleaning proceedings, and working within the museum collections department on cataloging, inventorying, and rehousing objects.

F. “Jeff ” Webb, Past Grand Master of Louisiana and President of the Association. J.F. “Jeff” Webb Brethren, I am Jeff Webb, Past Grand Master of Louisiana and President of The George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association. I declare a quorum present and call the 110th Annual Meeting of The George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association to order. I ask that you join the Most Worshipful Brother Claire Tusch as he presents the Invocation. Claire V. Tusch Brethren, can we be in a spirit of prayer. (Invocation was presented.) J.F. “Jeff” Webb Brethren, at this time I would like to introduce the members of the Memorial Board of Directors who are present. We appreciate their attendance and dedicated service. Brother Claire V. Tusch, Maine; Brother Kenneth G. Nagel, California; Brother Thomas K. Sturgeon, Pennsylvania; Brother Robert L. Darling, Minnesota; Brother Gale H. Kenney, Washington; Brother Donald F. Stapleton, Oregon; Brother Michael G. Rodman, South Dakota; Brother John S. Ryan, New Jersey; Brother Scott A. Thomas , Arizona; Brother Micheal P. Bible, Alexandria-Washington Lodge No- 22; Brother Richard J. Elman, Indiana; Brother Russell G. Reno, Nebraska; and Brother Carl B. Willi, Rhode Island. Brethren, I would now receive a motion to dispense with the reading of and approve the minutes of the 109th Annual Meeting as printed in the 2019 Annual Report. You each have a copy of the Annual Report. (The motion was moved, seconded and adopted.) I would like at this time to introduce the Officers of the Memorial Association. Myself serving as President. Claire V. Tusch, Past Grand Master of Maine is our First Vice President. Kenneth G. Nagel, Past Grand Master of California is our Second Vice President. Thomas K. Sturgeon, Past Grand Master of Pennsylvania is our Third Vice President. George D. Seghers is our Executive Director. We will now have the report of the President. You will find in the Annual Report of the Memorial Association my report as President and the report of the Executive Director. I would like to just say a few words to you. This certainly is an honor and a privilege that you have granted to me. Not only serving as President of The George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association, but also the opportunity to address this august body of Masonic Leaders who are the voting Members of the Memorial Association. On behalf of the 27 Memorial Association I extend our thanks for your support of the Memorial during the past year. The restoration of the Memorial is steadily moving forward along with improvements. The Memorial is truly a beacon of light for Freemasonry and for American Patriotism. It proudly reflect the character and virtues of our foremost Founding Father and Mason, General, President and Brother George Washington. Without his efforts we would not have this great country that we are so blessed to live in. Again, I thank you for your support. We will now proceed with the report of the Executive Director. George D. Seghers Thank you Jeff. Brothers, my report is also in the Annual Report. Please read it at your convenience. I will be outside and please and contact me with any questions or concerns. Thank you. J.F. “Jeff” Webb I will now ask Brother Ken Nagel, our Second Vice President and Chairman of the Cornerstone Centennial Committee to address the membership. Kenneth G. Nagel Good afternoon Brethren. Grand Masters, at your place you will find two copies of a postcard- sized card that says on it “Save the Date.” That date in particular is Monday, February 20th, 2023, when we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial. We want each of you to be there. Although you won’t be sitting Grand Masters, we want you to come back. Second we would ask that you give the second card to the brother that will be the sitting Grand Master in 2023 so we could have him there as well. The Commonwealth of Virginia has graciously agreed to host the Conference of Grand Masters in 2023 and we will be a part of that celebration in coordination with them. Our Conference Secretary, Most Worshipful Brother Mike DeWolf has set aside Monday of that Conference so we can recognize the Memorial and celebrate it all day long. We will have transportation for you from the Crystal City host hotel to bring you into Alexandria for the celebration. We are going to start in the morning with the laying of a wreath at the tomb of George Washington at Mount Vernon. We will then take you to the Memorial where you will start your morning deliberations in our auditorium at the Memorial. Just before 12:00 noon we will then transport everyone to King Street to where we will have a staging area for a parade that is going to come down King Street, through Old Town Alexandria, to the base of Shuters Hill and up the driveway to the Memorial. In 1923 there were some 19,000 Masons who assembled on King Street and marched up that street to lay the cornerstone. Present were the President at that time Calvin Coolidge, Chief Justice Howard Taft, the Governor of Virginia and many other dignitaries. We hope to have the same in attendance in 2023. We want this to be a national event. When we get to the top of the hill we will reenact the laying of the cornerstone. The Grand Master of Virginia, who will be Most Worshipful Jack Lewis, will officiate along with the Officers of the Grand Lodge of Virginia. Also, each of the sitting Grand Masters from 28 the jurisdictions attending will participate in the event. We hope that you will be able to be there to be a part of this once in a hundred year opportunity. At the end of the event, we will transport you back to the host hotel where we will have a birthday gala to honor President and Brother George Washington. Please save the date. It is exactly three years from tomorrow. Come and be a part of this historic event. Come see what the George Washington Masonic National Memorial is all about. Remember that the Memorial is owned by each of you and every single Mason in your Jurisdiction. We want all of you to be present. I’m not naive enough to think we are going to assemble 19,000 Masons, but we want to have as large of a group as we can, and hope to have the largest gathering of Masons on the east coast since that event one hundred years ago in 1923. Come be a part of the reenactment of the Laying of the Cornerstone of your Memorial. Thank you, Brethren. J.F. “Jeff” Webb We will now hold the election of the Members of the Board of Directors of the Memorial Association. M. W. Brother Steven Pence, Grand Master of Louisiana, will you please come forward and present the Report of the Nominating Committee for Members of the Board of Directors. Steven S. A. Pence The Nominating Committee consisting of myself, Grand Master of Louisiana, Most Worshipful Mark E. Rustin Grand Master of Maine, and Most Worshipful John E. Trauner, Grand Master of California present the following Brethren for your consideration as members of the Board of Directors of The George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association to serve a term of three years until February 22, 2023.

Thank you Grand Master Pence, Grand Master Rustin and Grand Master Trauner for serving on the Nominating Committee. I now declare the Members of the Board of Directors of The George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association duly elected. 29 Brethren, you have copies of the Proposed Change to Section 5 of The Memorial Association By-Laws.

This is done to allow all of our 52 Active Member Grand Lodges the opportunity to serve on the Board.
