OF WASHINGTON, DC
February 11, 2006

| For this educational session, we were privileged to view a special DVD titled "Unveiling The Masonic Symbolism of Washington, DC". |
| Washington, DC is the first national capital to be designed as a seat of government, and the only capital to symbolically reflect and foster guiding values and principles. The Founding Fathers, especially the Freemasons among them, envisioned a city so beautiful and balanced that it would inspire enlightenment in those who lived and worked there. Film producer and Freemason, Akram Elias, designed a unique approach that unveils the Masonic symbolism hidden in the architecture, layout, and design of Washington, DC. Akram R. Elias, 33 , is very active in the Grand Lodge of Free And Accepted Masons of the District of Columbia and the Scottish Rite Valley of Washington, DC. He is the recipient of the Valentine Reintzel Medal for outstanding service to Freemasonry, awarded by the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia. In addition, Brother Elias is a member of the various York bodies of Freemasonry, the Ancient Arabic Order of the Noble Mystic Shrine, and The Royal Order of Scotland. |
| Mr. Akram R. Elias has over 17 years of professional experience as a Consultant/Contractor in the areas of cultural exchanges, international trade, and political relations between the United States and countries from around the world. He is a founder of Capital Communications Group (CCG) where he heads its public diplomacy and international trade activities. |
| Mr. Elias' most recent effort in the area of public diplomacy was the production of a documentary on Washington, DC that highlights the American Experiment through symbolism expressed by some of the major monuments and memorials in our nation's capital. |
| The movie we veiwed during this session is truly educational and a "must see" experience for all Masons. |
