PROPOSED CHANGE TO INVOCATION AND LOYAL TOAST

Acting Sergeant at Arms, Michael Boyd advised members that at the last Board meeting, it was agreed that the Club would consider a change to our current invocation and loyal toast to align with District 9780 STRATEGIC PLAN FOR 2014-2017 Ver. 1.04 (10/11/14) under the heading of Membership: Encouraging Diversity In Membership, District recommends that clubs be encouraged to promote more diversity in membership.

“to promote faith diversity by removing overtly religious references from rituals and ceremonies, and encouraging the use of, and providing examples of religious jargon-free customs”.

Members will have the opportunity to discuss this issue over coming weeks prior to a ballot regarding any changes.
