Forgot to celebrate this last week, but Brother Carlos has proved up and passed his proficiency as a Fellowcraft! As is a Friendship #160 tradition, he will still have to give a short talk in Lodge about an educational or philosophical topic, which will likely happen at our March Stated meeting. After that, however, we will be looking to schedule our first (and hopefully not last) Master Mason Degree of 2025! Congratulations Brother Carlos.
Another fantastic month for Friendship. The evening started with a lovely dinner from Pastini provided by our wonderful Junior Warden Kyle. We moved into the Lodge room where we had a short but action packed meeting with a few important votes related to our new year, and the budget for our on-going project to update our Clubhouse space.
It’s been a while since we were blessed to have the Temple and the Clubhouse this packed, because had a delightful number of guests! Almost the entire Officer’s line of Beaverton Masonic Lodge joined us to thank us for a donation we gave them related to some vandalism they encountered the previous month, and we had Brother Chris from the Scottish Rite come to thank us for a donation we made to them related to a Kitchen remodel they are doing.
