This report is NECESSARY to enable the Grand High Priest and Grand King to assess the status of Royal Arch Masonry in the Commonwealth of Virginia and to assist in determining the winner of the Grand Line Bowl.

Please use the following format. Send one copy to the Grand High Priest, one copy to the Grand King, and one copy to the Grand Master of the Third Veil.

• Short introductory statement regarding the District.
• Activities held in the District to support the Grand High Priest's programs and promote Royal Arch Masonry in the District.
• Comments on the strengths and weaknesses, and a critical assessment of the overall status of Royal Arch Masonry in the District, focusing on the question: "Is Royal Arch Masonry growing or declining in this District"
• Recommendations for improving Royal Arch Masonry in the District and the Grand Chapter.

NOTE: There is no prescribed form for the Annual Report of the DDGHP, but there is a prescribed format. This report is intended as a recapitulation of the events which have occurred after taking office, and in order to be meaningful, should include specific recommendation as to the needed areas of improvement for each Chapter, together with concrete suggestions as to how such recommendations can be implemented. Please note that failure to submit this form may disqualify you from being considered for the Grand Line Bowl!
