Congratulations to Brother Loren Stineman and Brother Rick Schlemmer on being raised to the Degree of a Fellowcraft Mason! Congrats to Brother Loren for earning the Grand Masters proficiency coin for the Entered apprentice degree.

A sincere thank you to everyone who came out to assist with the work. It has been a long time since Western Star Lodge has conducted a degree for two candidates at the same time, and the support from the brethren made the evening a great success.

We are excited to see our lodge continuing to grow. We’re also pleased to announce that we have completed the investigation for one gentleman, and we will be reading another petition at our next business meeting in March.

A special thank you to WB Charlie Odorizzi for coming down to assist and for delivering a fantastic Middle Chamber Lecture.

Thank you again to all who helped make this a memorable night for our lodge and for our new Fellowcraft brothers.

On December 6th, our Lodge held its annual Awards Night in partnership with the Arbor Shrine Club. It was an evening filled with fellowship, recognition, and a truly fantastic meal enjoyed by all in attendance.
We were honored to recognize the following Brethren for their outstanding dedication and service:

Brother Duane Smith was presented with the Bronze Jordan Medal, a well-deserved recognition of his commitment and contributions.

Worshipful Brother Andy Lagerstrom received his 50-Year Pin and Certificate, marking an incredible milestone in Masonic service. In addition, he was honored as our Master Mason of the Year, reflecting his continued devotion to the Craft and the Lodge.

We also took time to honor our Lodge widows, with special recognition given to Pat Holmes, widow of Brother Kermit Holmes, a cherished member of our Lodge.

Congratulations to all of our award recipients, and thank you to everyone who helped make the evening such a success.
