Comments: There are rumors of limits on term of ER. How could this be legal if true. We have a secretary in our District who has been there for over fourty years. If we set limits on term of office does'nt that make the members voting for their officers useless ? If a Lodge has a dedicated officer and chooses to keep that person in office why not.Thank you.
