RW DDGM Herbert J. Lindberg conducted his First of Four District meetings for the 10th NE District on Tuesday-November 29th, 2011 at The Hinsdale Masonic Lodge.  Herb was able to get approximately 112 attendees to this meeting.  I'm sure you are asking yourself, how was Herb able to accomplish this?  The answer is, that he is listening to the new guys!  Some of the stuff that Herb has going on:

District Website
District Facebook Page
District Newsletter
District Auditor
District Assistant
District Ritual Officer
District Secretary
District Traveling Gavel with yearly point system

What suggestions do you have for the District Deputies across the State to help get their District Lodges motivated?
