Most Worshipful Brother Stephen Michalak, Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Antient, Free, and Accepted Masons of South Australia and the Northern Territory,
We, the undersigned humbly request that the motion to surrender the Warrant of Lodge United Service #37 SAC be stayed for a reasonable period of time to allow a succession plan to be developed for no less than five years in order to prevent the lodge from being closed.
We are confident that the lodge can be strengthened and rejuvenated and, with the right leadership and attitude of the brethren, remain a strong and glorious lodge for many years to come.
We therefore pledge, in the case that a suitable succession plan may be drawn up and the lodge proven to be able to stand, that we will either continue our membership in the lodge, renew our membership in the lodge, or rejoin the craft and become members of Lodge United Service and continue to discharge our duties as brethren of that lodge zealously and passionately for as long as may be possible.
We implore Grand Lodge, therefore, that in place of accepting the surrender of the Warrant of this historic and proud lodge, that it hold the Warrant in abeyance until such a time as the brethren can act to perpetuate its survival, or until a time deemed acceptable by Grand Lodge.
With Kind Fraternal Regards,

Last night our granddaughter at her yr12 graduation at le Fevre HS received a $500 scholarship reward in marine studies from this group/organisation. It is so important that this support of local community (in a not so affluent area) continues to receive support from this type of group. They live in the area & are aware of local issues & needs. We are SO grateful & know that this money will assist our granddaughter with her relocation to university in Tasmania, to continue her studies in Marine Biology.
This Lodge is a keeper! As an ex serviceman I was aghast to hear of its planned demise. I am prepared to help.
I am in awe that United Service Lodge is to hand in its warrant when so many other Lodges operate with 6 members and with assistance of visitors.
A great but frustrating job has been done by a few of our past Masters. But they would not step aside and give the younger brigade a chance. Some still believe that the best is to sink with the ship. Well all we ask is to recess the lodge as requested. We will rise again.
It would be a shame to see my first lodge closed within only a year of my time in Freemasonry
it would be a shame to see it go
This is the best scenario and will satisfy all. I fully support the Lodge going into recession and can see no reason why this would not be supported by all.

This lodge holds a proud and historic significance and CAN be saved. Please consider this in your decision. I for one will be joining this lodge once it is deemed appropriate.
