Past District Officers     

of the former:

 

Note:  Two Annual Communications were held in 2000, one in April and the other in September.  This was done to comply and line up with the new date of the Annual Communication,  which was approved at the April meeting.  The traditional April date changed to begin on the fourth Friday of September beginning in 2000.  As a result of this change, some DDGM's and DDGL's held office for the remainder of the year in 2000 until the new District alignments became effective for 2001.  These new Districts became effective with the installation in December of the new Grand Master.  Due to this change the remainder of the year 2000 is shown below separately from the 1999-2000 term which would have traditionally expired in April of 2000.
