Sub: Grand Lodge award for Best Lodge Summons.

As you are aware, since last year, the Grand Lodge of India has instituted an award for the "Best Lodge Summons".

The award to the winning Lodge will be presented at the Grand Festival.

The response to the competition for the year 2004 was very encouraging. It is hoped that this year all the Lodges will participate in the competition.

Participating Lodges are requested to send their Summons for anyone meeting held during the period June, 2005 to August, 2005 as an entry for the award. Three sets of the summons for the competition should be sent separately in an epvelope marked "GLI SUMMONS AWARD 2005" to the Grand Secretary at the , Grand Lodge of India office, New Delhi.

The last date for receipt of entries will be 30th September, 2005.

Please note that the (summons) for the competition should be the usual summons which the Lodge regularly brings out and NOT a specially prepared one exclusively for the competition.
