WGM & WGP Workshop

Grand Forks Masonic Center on May 12, 2007. 

The workshop began with a couple of paraphrases from PMWPG Loyal Stark:

"Our Principles and Values are Etched in Stone"

&

"Our Procedures and Practices Should Be Written in Chalk"

"If we always do what we've always done, We'll always get what we've always gotten"

The agenda of the workshop was basically in the same form as what was conducted in December of 2006 at the Chieftain in Carrington.  WGM Karen & WGP Ross again did an excellent job of guiding the workshop.
