Congratulations to our New FC

Last Night was a great evening.

Our Newest Fraternal Brother, Derek Hageness, Completed his Fellow Craft Degree.

I’m sure his Father and GrandFather are very proud of him,
and it was great having 3 generations of Masons in Lodge at once.

Thanks to everyone who came out, and participated in the Degree…
Even though the Packers were playing lastnight as well. (GO PACK)

A TRIBUTE TO ALL MASON’S WIVES:

A MASONS WIFE From active Mason’s, resolute, Our wives, our families we salute:
We surely know the price you pay.
Who sit alone while we’re away;
No high degrees on you conferred, In Lodge, your name is seldom heard;
You serve our cause though out of sight, While sitting home alone tonight;
Masonic paper…s list our names, Awards are given, fit to fame:
But yours as absent … you who strive, To keep our fortitude alive;
You’re part of every helpful deed:
Without your blessings, how could we, Continue acts of charity?
And sow, this poem, we dedicate, to every Master Mason’s mate:
And offer our undying love, Rewards await from Great Architect Above.
Michael Gillard, Illustrious Master · Noblesville, Indiana
