Some time back, in a post I made, I stated that the Tiler is elected in both lodges that I belong to. It seems that I have made a mistake. We are having out Officer elections in my Mother Lodge this next Tuesday (June 3), and and the current WM and I got into a discussion about who is elected and who is appointed, because we are having a PDDGM from another lodge conduct our election for us, and we didn't want to elect someone who should be appointed or appoint someone who should be elected. Now, to the point, I checked our Lodge By-Laws, and it seems that the Tiler is an appointed office in my Mother Lodge. I apologize for making an erroneous statement earlier.
