The Association of Worshipful Masters,
+. A. A. M, of the District of Columbia,
organized early in January of this year,
has for its object the cultivation of social
and fraternal relations among the Worship

jurisdiction. The regular meetings of the
associa ton are held the Goth of each month

Gent, secretarytreasurer and two addition
al members of the association.
All lodge visltations recently have been
attended by the organizers of this assoCia-
ton, Gnd special receptions have been gv'n
them. A fraternal visit was recently paid
TO Baltimore, and the members of all Balti-
more lodges of the order were invited to
visit Washington as guests of the Worship

ton have been well attended and it has
the approval of Grand Master Wetmore.
The method of perpetuating the organlZa
ton is by holding annual banquet at

no further connection with it. The two
officers named shall act as such only I'M
I'll the new membership complete their

none present except the worshipful masters
comprising the association, the Worshipfui
