Launch of Celebrations - Grand Chapter Convocation

M. Ex. Comp. George Gifford announced that a special event was to take place at 11 am. Shortly thereafter, Comp. Terry McLean, the Chair of the 150th Celebration Committee took the Companions assembled on a trip down memory lane - about 150 years ago.

After a short introduction to how our Grand Chapter was formed 150 years ago, he spoke the words "That was then and this is now", and the doors flew open. The assembled Companions were then treated to several musical interludes from Pipe Band.

Companion Terry McLean then requested everyone assembled to start their celebrations, and send in submissions to this website for publicity as well as for a commemorative DVD being produced at the the conclusion of the celebrations at Grand Chapter 2008.
