Well it's a done deal
We couldn't even get a quorum show for our final meeting to vote. (In OH it is 10 Companions)
The GHP of Ohio was there. Called each companion up and asked if we wished to merge, and if it was of our free will and accord.
I told him 'regrettably yes'
He banged the gavel and merged our Chapter.
Council was a bit trickier. As per the Most Illustrious, as of June 1st, all members go into a 'Holding Council' and we must find another council,
seek plural membership, then demit from the holding council. What a PIA. Should have just pounded his gavel and merged
Oh well on a good note, between both bodies, we had over $50,000 that was disbursed to local charities, rents paid to our Blue Lodge for the next 5 years,
as well as lifetime dues paid for the ones who bothered to show up, and 2 years dues pre-paid for the other members.
Now we have to go through the process of inventorying and moving all of the accouterments and furnishing to our new home up north.
