Brethren -At our last Thursday meeting (23/4) Lodge Pembroke honoured the memory of our Brethren who have passed to the Grand Lodge above, during and as consequence of their Service for their countries. To commemorate this Officers of Lodge Pembroke preformed the Ceremony of the Vacant Chair and with the assistance of Wor Bro Graham Alomes who recited the poem Flanders Fields, Wor Bro Neil Wright presented the Anzac Poem, Bro Chris Allen delivered Greenfields of France poem and the Master Wor Bro Jarrod Burton gave a Anzac Day talk, we honoured all Brethren.
Also during the night's proceedings we presented the Masters Community Award – this award is annually presented to an Pembroke Brother to recognize his contribution to the Community over the past twelve months. This award was presented to Wor Bro Jarrod Burton due to his involvement with the Sorell Volunteer Fire Service. A well deserving awardee. Shown below is the previous Awardee Wor Bro Neil Wright presenting the Award to Wor Bro Neil Wright.
It was enjoyable and noisy night in the south , to catch up with everyone. A great night was enjoyed by all.
