This evening at Heathcote Lodge was truly memorable. The chilly weather was alleviated by the small heaters in the lodge room and the open fire in the south. Brethren from as far afield as Melbourne's western suburbs, Bendigo, and Seymour attended the initiation of Brother Ali Mourad. With 15 visitors and 3 visiting masters present, the event was well-attended. Congratulations are in order for the brethren who delivered their charges and to all involved. We extend our sincere gratitude to our lodge sponsors, the team at Pizzeria Montana in Heathcote and We also thank our lodge sponsors, the team at Tyre Station, for the handcrafted gifts for the candidate and our Visiting District Coordinator.

Tonight at Heathcote was truly unforgettable.

As we opened the doors to set up, we were warmly joined by two locals who were working on a project next door to the lodge. The wife shared with us that her father had been a member of the lodge years ago, and as we chatted, she fondly recalled playing at the lodge as a child. Her father had even served as Master in 1953, and many of her relatives and family friends had been involved.

She graciously offered to reach out to her family to see if they still had old photos from the 1950s to 1990s. As a token of appreciation, the lodge gifted her a beautifully handcrafted American oak engraved book stand, crafted by Worshipful Brother John G Chbib We then enjoyed a delicious dinner of vegetable and tuna pasta bake, accompanied by salads and fruitcake, and worshipful Brother Leo Pignataro award-winning salami.
The evening was perfectly complemented by a few glasses of local red wine.

The night's work was a full opening and closing in all degrees, a truly enriching experience.
