Aloha Brothers and friends of the fraternity!

This past Wednesday, July 29th, Koʻolau Lodge F & AM gathered for a Special Meeting to confer the 2nd Degree of Masonry, and what a night it was. Two Brothers advanced together in a meaningful step on their Masonic journey, surrounded by the support and fellowship of nearly 20 Brothers who turned out to share in the occasion. As always, the evening closed with a wonderful meal together: venison, bison, lamb, and beef burgers with all the fixings, plus dessert to top it off.

Grateful for the Brotherhood that makes nights like this so special.

Mahalo to everyone who came out to support!

The Grand Lodge of Hawaii was proudly represented at the 77th Kailua Independence Day Parade, where more than 50 Masons and members of the Family of Freemasonry gathered in a joyful show of brotherhood, community, and patriotic spirit. With the parade theme, “Stronger Together,” our participation reflected the best of who we are: men, women, and youth united in service, fellowship, and love for our island communities.

The Grand Master was in attendance, joined by brethren from several lodges, including Ko`olau Lodge, Hawaiian Lodge F&AM, Honolulu Masonic Lodge, and Schofield Lodge F & AM. We were also pleased to march alongside members of the Aloha Shriners, Order of Eastern Star, Ladies Oriental Shrine N American , DeMolay, Daughters of the Nile, and Rainbow Girls, making this one of our largest Masonic turnouts in recent years.

A special highlight was the chartered trolley, thoughtfully arranged by a Brother, which allowed our kupuna members and those with mobility challenges to take part comfortably and safely.

Mahalo to all who participated, supported, and cheered along the parade route. Together, we showed Kailua the strength, warmth, and enduring spirit of Hawaii Freemasonry.

A short practice, good fellowship, and time together at Koʻolau Distillery made for a meaningful evening with the Brethren.

As we look ahead to next week’s stated meeting and the scheduled visit of the Grand Master, we are grateful for the steady work, preparation, and brotherly spirit that keep Koʻolau Lodge moving forward.

Mahalo to all who helped make the evening worthwhile.

What a wonderful evening at Koʻolau Lodge.

There's something special about welcoming a new Brother for the very first time, and this week the whole Lodge came together to do exactly that.

The fellowship began before the meeting even started, around a table filled with great food and even better company. Our officers and Brothers gave their very best, and you could feel the warmth and excitement in the room.

To our newest Brother — welcome. This is the beginning of a journey, and you're surrounded by people glad to walk it with you.

Mahalo to everyone who made the night so memorable.

Tuesday evening, the Brethren of Koʻolau Lodge F & AM gathered for their monthly stated communication and the business of the evening moved efficiently and well.

New faces were welcomed, a petition for the degrees was voted upon favorably, and a new affiliation was approved. Koʻolau Lodge is growing.

What made the evening equally memorable was the generosity of one Brother, who prepared the entire dinner and dessert himself with slow-cooked ribs, broccoli and cheese, chef's salad, garlic bread bites, and a homemade cherry pie that was well received by all.

Mahalo to every Brother who attended, participated, and contributed to an evening of fellowship and Brotherhood. The spirit of Koʻolau was well represented.

Last night was a milestone evening for Koʻolau Lodge F & AM, and one that many Brothers will remember for a long time. The Lodge gathered for a rare and meaningful degree night, initiating three Brothers, and made even more memorable by a lecture delivered in letter-perfect form with dignity, focus, and care.

We also had the privilege of recognizing two Brothers for earning their Master Mason proficiency certificates and extending warm aloha to visiting Brothers from the mainland, who were welcomed with the highly coveted Koʻolau Lodge pin.

Mahalo to every Brother who helped prepare, participate, support, and make the evening successful. It was a strong reflection of fellowship, proficiency, teamwork, and the spirit of Koʻolau.

A meaningful evening at Koʻolau Lodge F & AM as two Brothers completed their Master Mason proficiency, marking an important step in their Masonic journey and opening the door for them to travel and visit other Lodges.

We also had the privilege of recognizing a worthy Brother with the Cornerstone Award for his steady willingness to help with Lodge functions, meals, logistics, and the quiet work that makes fellowship possible. As he prepares for a PCS to the East Coast in June, we send him with our gratitude, best wishes, and a little bit of Koʻolau aloha.

Mahalo to everyone who contributed to a hearty home-cooked meal of kalbi ribs and all the fixings. Fellowship, service, and Brotherly love were well represented.

Last night was truly a meaningful evening at Koʻolau Lodge as the Brethren gathered for fellowship, a light dinner, and the raising of a Brother to the sublime degree of Master Mason.

We are grateful to the Brothers from neighboring Lodges who came out in support and helped make the evening a success. Even with a few last minute adjustments, the Craft came together with teamwork, care, and commitment.

Mahalo to all who contributed their time, presence, and service. Nights like this remind us that Masonry is strengthened by fellowship, preparation, and Brothers working together for a shared purpose.
