Arturo De Hoyos Speaking In Indianapolis Tuesday 10/22

This Tuesday, October 22nd, renowned author, researcher, translator, and historian Arturo De Hoyos will be speaking at Lodge Vitruvian No. 767's Stated Meeting and Festive Board in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Art is the Grand Archivist and Grand Historian for the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite SJ, and his body of work over the last three or so decades has been nothing short of astonishing. To my knowledge, he has not spoken in the Indianapolis area before.

Please alert our Secretary if you intend to be there so he can plan accordingly.

Here is the official summons:

Come join us for fellowship and scholarly discussion on the evening of Tuesday, October 22nd, 2019 AD, 6019 AL.

We are determined to complete our business in one hour.

NOTE: We will be conducting our annual election of Lodge officers at this meeting, but will do our best to complete this process quickly.

Also, please note that our Festive Board dinner is to be tiled, and is open to Master Masons only.

Keynote Speaker:

Arturo de Hoyos, Grand Archivist and Grand Historian, Supreme Council, 33°, will be presenting his topic, "A discussion on Albert Pike’s Esoterika, his once-secret unpublished text on the symbolism of the blue lodge degrees."

(Be aware that the Red Line boondoggle has eliminated some on-street parking around the Aristocrat, and their parking lot is not large. Be prepared to park on side streets and have a longer walk. Car pools to the restaurant would not be a terrible idea. Of course, you could ride the Red Line wiz-bang electric bus down I suppose, but you'd still have to drive to the Broad Ripple Avenue station and park on the street somewhere just to ride it south for ten blocks - which defeats the whole point. And you'd arrive at about dessert time.)
