In gratitude for our veteran’s service, as Grand Master I am placing upon the trestle board a request that every lodge in our Grand Jurisdiction support the “Victory House” veteran’s hospital in Walterboro South Carolina. If every lodge will donate $75 dollars to purchase a van then we can donate the van to help transport our veterans to the Veteran’s Hospital. I encourage each of you to unite and have a fund raising project, if you cannot raise $75 dollars I assure you any contribution will be appreciated by your Grand Lodge and our veterans. I can think of nothing better than South Carolina Mason’s uniting to support the men and women who gave so much and asked nothing in return. I have asked M.W. Brother G Kent Elkins PGM to take the lead and work under the direction of our Grand Secretary M.W. G Ray Marsh on this endeavor.
Checks should be made to the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of South Carolina and mailed to:

I dare say that each of us have been touched with, either through personal experience or you have had a family member or friend with that dreaded decease…cancer. As Grand Master I am placing upon the trestle board a request that every lodge in our Grand Jurisdiction support finding a cure for breast cancer. Over the course of a lifetime, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. I have asked R.W. David J. Dechant DGM to take the lead and work under the direction of our Grand Secretary M.W. G Ray Marsh on this endeavor. The united effort is “United for a Cause”. R.W. David will work with the lodges and gather funds that will be presented to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc at our 275th Annual Communication on behalf of the masons in our Grand Jurisdiction.
Checks should be made to the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of South Carolina and mailed to:

May our Father in Heaven hold you in the palm of his hand, sheltered by his grace, and surrounded with his love is my fervent prayer.
As always your friend and brother from Inman,
Jay Adam Pearson, Grand Master
