BRETHREN,

             THE GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA HAS INSTALLED AND NOW USING A NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM CALLED, MORI, (MASONIC ONLINE REGISTERY INTERFACE). IT WILL BE USED TO MAINTAIN EACH AND EVERY MASON'S RECORD FROM DATE ELECTED TIL HIS DEATH, AFTER WHICH IT WILL STILL BE MAINTAINED FOR HISTORICAL DATA.

             IT IS NOW MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER TO KEEP YOUR ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER CURRENT. ALL NOTICES AND MAILINGS WILL BE GENERATED BY THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND SENT TO THE ADDRESS CURRENTLY INSTALLED IN THE DATA BASE.

             AS YOU KNOW CERTAIN MASONIC EVENTS HAVE A TIME LIMIT AND A PENALTY ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE TO MEET THE TIME REQUIREMENT. FOR THE LODGE AND THE INDIVIDUAL MASON THESE DELAYS, CAUSED BY INCORRECT ADDRESSES, CAN BE COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING. SO PLEASE KEEP THE SECRETARY INFORMED OF YOUR CURRENT ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER.

             THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN GETTING SEASIDE LODGE NUMBER 429 OFF TO A GOOD START ON THIS PROGRAM. REMEMBER THE SECRETARY'S OFFICE IS HERE TO HELP ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND HELP A BROTHER WHEN NEEDED.

                                                                        FRATERNALY YOURS,
                                                                        WALTER NORRIS, PM
