By Beth Grace

WINSTON-SALEM – North
Carolina Freemasons elected a
new grand master, received a new
member of the Grand Line, rejected
a plan to increase the per capita
and welcomed two new Montfort
Medal winners at the 231st Annual
Communication.
Shortly after the vote for the
166th Grand Master, Dwight
MacLauchlin Sigmon told the
assembly, "I stand before you today
extremely grateful."
He challenged each person
attending to use the tools of
Masonry to bring positive change to
the world.
"We can choose to be a Mason or
just a member," he said. Sigmon will
be installed on Dec. 1. (See sidebar
on our new Grand Master on page
2)
Sigmon also announced his
addition to the Grand Line,
Grand Lodge members vote in the Saturday session of the 2018 Annual Communication to approve the 2019 budget, section by section.
