Brethren of the Fourth Manhattan District, you are cordially invited to the 2026 Grand Lecturer's Convention - an evening dedicated to the pursuit of Masonic excellence, the celebration of our ritual tradition, and the unity of our 14 lodges.
 
Presiding Over the Convention: Right Worshipful Gregory Noulas, Grand Lecturer
We are honored to have RW Gregory Noulas presiding over this distinguished event. His expertise, guidance, and dedication to Masonic ritual excellence set the standard for our entire district.
 
An Evening of Distinction:

• Experience the precision and beauty of Masonic ceremony at its finest
• Connect with 70+ Brothers from all corners of the Fourth Manhattan District
• Celebrate our shared commitment to preserving and perfecting our ancient rituals
 
Why You Should Attend:
This is more than a convention - it's a masterclass in Masonic ritual led by one of our Grand Lodge's finest instructors. Whether you're an officer seeking to sharpen your skills, a newer Mason eager to deepen your understanding, or a seasoned Brother who appreciates the artistry of well-executed ritual, this event offers something invaluable.
You'll witness Brothers who have dedicated countless hours to perfecting their craft under the watchful eye of RW Noulas. You'll see what excellence looks like when lodges bring their absolute best. You'll leave inspired, educated, and connected to a broader network of Brothers who share your commitment to Masonic tradition.
 
The Power of Unity:
When 70+ Brothers from 14 different lodges gather under one roof with a shared purpose, something special happens. Differences fade. District boundaries dissolve. We remember that we are all working toward the same goal: preserving the timeless traditions of our Craft and passing them on to future generations with the same care and precision they were given to us.
 
A Distinguished Tradition:
The Grand Lecturer's Convention represents the highest standard of Masonic ritual in our district. Lodges compete for the prestigious Howard W. Potts Award, recognizing those who demonstrate exceptional commitment through full officer attendance and exemplary ritual performance. This is where lodges showcase what months of practice and dedication can achieve.

Be Part of Something Greater:
This isn't just another meeting. This is the Fourth Manhattan District coming together under the guidance of our Grand Lecturer to celebrate what makes us Masons - our shared rituals, our dedication to excellence, and our commitment to each other as Brothers.

Your presence adds to the strength and unity of our district. Your attendance shows respect for the work our Brothers have invested. Your participation honors the tradition we all cherish.
