Today, we proudly recognize and celebrate Pride of the West Lodge on the anniversary of its Charter, granted on this 6th day of August, 2013.

From the very beginning, Pride of the West hit the ground running and has never looked back. Affectionately known as "PRIDE!!!," the Lodge has faithfully served the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Tennessee and the surrounding community with dignity, integrity, and respect.

Charity remains at the forefront of all they do, exemplifying the true principles of Prince Hall Masonry through their unwavering commitment to service and brotherhood.

Congratulations, Pride of the West, on another year of excellence and impact. May your legacy of leadership and service continue for many years to come. Aj Smith Jr. Krish A. Taylor Djenada M. Dunlap Karlos Jenkins

We salute you, POW!
Respectfully

Today, we pause to recognize and pay homage to Stainless Lodge #306 and Jackson Mound Lodge #311 as they celebrate 105 years as Chartered Lodges.

On this 4th day of August, 1921, in the City of Chattanooga, Tennessee, these two distinguished lodges received their Charters, empowering them to labor in the honorable work of Prince Hall Freemasonry.

Congratulations to Worshipful Master Eric Isom of Stainless Lodge #306 and Worshipful Master Llyod Anderson of Jackson Mound Lodge #311. Thank you for your continued leadership and commitment to our Craft.

May you continue the great work and inspire generations to come.

The Memphis West Masonic District salutes you!

Lord we come to you as humbly as we know how. As this school year begins we are asking for your continued Grace and Mercy. Grace and Mercy over the children, the parents, and the faculty. We pray for peace and understanding, knowledge and wisdom, hope and guidance as we go through this 26/27 school year. We put it All in Your hands, build a fence of protection around them as they go to and from the school houses. Touch in a special way that the children my increase in knowledge , the parents increase guidance, and the faculty increase in wisdom. These we ask in your Magnificent Name, Amen
