There was a Special Dispensation… The meeting would have occurred during the vacation period… The directory is incorrect, etc…
Making a Bylaws Change10.The Jurisprudence Committee reviews the change
and forwards both copies of the submitted paperwork to the Grand Guardian, who reviews and forwards both copies to the Grand Secretary.
The Grand Secretary sends one approved copy to the Bethel Guardian, and retains the second copy.
The approved Uniform Code change is kept in the Permanent Record Book.
The change to the initiation fee becomes effective when the signed paperwork is received by the Bethel.
