Lodge moves to formalize Building Fund

As many of you already know, the Lodge has been collecting seed money to create a Building Fund for the last two years. To date we have collected about $835 for this purpose.

In order to create the actual fund in which the money collected will be deposited, a bylaws change is required. The following amendment to the Bylaws of Broad Ripple Lodge was presented at the February Stated Meeting and was laid over for discussion and a vote at the March Stated Meeting. Per the requirements of our bylaws, this notification will be published in the paper Trestle-Board and distributed to all members of the lodge by US Mail.

Change: Add a new Article 13, to read:

Article 13

The Broad Ripple Lodge No. 643 Building Fund

The Lodge shall create and maintain The Broad Ripple Lodge No. 643 Building Fund, to be administered by the Trustees at the will and pleasure of the Worshipful Master and with the consent of the Lodge, which may be used for the following purposes:

  1. Purchase or construction of a new Lodge building with the approval of the Supervisory Committee of the Grand Lodge of Indiana.
  2. Renovation or improvement to the existing Lodge building.
  3. Necessity deemed worthy or urgent.
