The following official circular letter
has been issued from the office of the
grand president, Y. NJ. l., at San Jose,
Cal, under date of October 4, 1909:
To the Off1cers and Members, Pacific
Grand Council Jurisdiction Y. M. I.
Dear Sirs and Brothers: Your atten-
tion is herein directed to the appoint
ment of district and council deputies,
standing committees, visiting grand Of
f1cers and dates set for official visits.
It is my desire to have wherever
possible district gatherings, more par
ticularly, at points where the proximity
of several councils offers advantageous
opportunity. The two districts of San
Francisco should afford opportunity
for at least two such general meetings
in said city. and it will be noted from
study of dates hereinafter set forth
that all visits to councils of the first
San Francisco district have been as
signed dates prior to the latter part of
December; this with the purpose of
having the councils of such district ar
range a general meeting of such nature
as may be determined upon in the latter
part of the month of December.
Similarly it will be noted that visits
to the councils of Petaluma, San Ra-
fael and Sonoma have been set with
view of having a district meeting
held in that district in the month Of
January. Likewise, in the Oakland dis
trict in the month Of February; in the
San Jose district in the month of
March; in the Vallejo district in the
month of April, and again in San Fran
cisco by the second San Francisco dis
trict in the month of May
1t is hoped that the councils of Stock
ton and Sacramento can arrange a Joint
gathering; likewise, the councils of
Fresno sI. and MERGED: the he councils Of
Los Angeles should certainly profit by
the holding of one or more joint meet
ings. If this recommendation be fol-
lowed, all OF the councils of the 5uris--
diction. with but three exceptions, will
have participated in one or more of
these district gatherings.
The Importance of such general gath
erings is so manifest that I beg to urge
all visiting grand officers to use every
effort at the time of their visit. and at
all times. by correspondence with the
officers of the councils assigned them,
to bring about such joint action on the
part of the councils as will result in
successful district meeting in each
district.
Further, in the foregoing connection
would urge that a class Initiation be
made the event of such district gath
erings and that to that end date for
such district meeting be agreed upon at
the earliest possible date to permit OF
achieving the best results. 1 would
further request that visiting officers

ticulars as to degree team and other
details may be disposed of In timely
season.
