Dear OLP Webmasters,
You had plans, we had plans. Our plans, along with everyone else’s on the planet, have changed due to the pandemic sweeping our globe. As our office is based in New York State, our lives have turned upside down in the past four weeks.
We are here to support you in these uncertain and unprecedented times. You may have already noticed that events in OLP have been cancelled based on the directives from your Grand Lodges. We will continue to work closely with your Grand Lodge as things change.
As part of the cancellation directions and to highlight any virtual events that have sprung up, we have hidden all cancelled events for the time being. This is a temporary measure and we will be making these cancelled events viewable for Webmasters in the coming weeks.
If you wish to create a virtual event for your lodge, simply note in the event title that the event is a “virtual”, “zoom”, or “online” meeting. For more information on creating an event, please see the instructions here: https://moriapp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039642534-Creating-a-Calendar-Event
To maintain communications with your lodge members at this time, we encourage you to do two things:
First, set up at least one virtual meeting a month. This will trigger the Weekly Masonic Updates.
Second, create “News” Posts - we are building an “announcement” feature for the News Posts as we write this email. These Posts will also be included in the Weekly Masonic Update emails on Saturday mornings. We will be following up with For more information, please see the instructions here: https://moriapp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040138613-Creating-A-News-Post.
On the member manager side, we are actively building out communication tracking in Groupable: m2 so that officers can track any well-being checks in the member record, as well as future communications after this crisis is over.
Thank you for your understanding and patience in advance as our staff are all working from home, and you may hear dogs or children in the background if you are on a support call.
We are here for you, and we’re right here with you. We hope that you are safe and healthy, and caring for those around you.
Please have a safe and happy Passover and Easter,
The Groupable Team
