A HEARTFELT THANK YOU FROM OLD GLORY LODGE #141!

On behalf of Worshipful Master Enrique Silva and the membership of Old Glory Lodge #141, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all of our generous hole sponsors, golfers, and everyone who contributed to the success of our Annual Charity Golf Outing held on October 21, 2026!

Your generosity, participation, and support helped make this event a memorable day filled with fellowship, camaraderie, and a shared commitment to giving back to our community.

To our hole sponsors, thank you for investing in our cause and helping make this event possible. Your generosity plays an important role in supporting our charitable efforts.

To all of our golfers, thank you for taking the time to join us, enjoy a day on the course, and support the mission of our Lodge. Your participation makes a real difference and reminds us of what can be accomplished when people come together for a good cause.

We would also like to thank everyone who helped organize, promote, and work behind the scenes to bring this outing together. Events like this don't happen on their own. They take teamwork, dedication, and people willing to give their time and effort.

Freemasonry is about more than words; it's about putting our values into action and making a positive difference in the lives of others. Because of your support, we can continue our commitment to charity, fellowship, and service to our community.

We truly appreciate each and every one of you, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!

Last night Old Glory Lodge #141 hosted our annual "Past Master's Night". It was great to see so many Past Masters in attendance. WM Enrique Silva shared some great words & thoughts as he reflected on how important the role of a Past Master is not only to our lodge but our fraternity. As a sign of gratitude from the lodge WM Rick gave out some very nice gift to our Past Masters in attendance.

THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR PAST MASTERS

A Past Master is not simply someone who once sat in the East. He is someone who has accepted the responsibility of leading this Lodge and has gained experience that cannot be learned from a book alone.

Our Past Masters are a living connection between where this Lodge has been, where it is today, and where it needs to go tomorrow.

They carry our history. They remember our successes, our struggles, our traditions, and the lessons learned along the way. That knowledge is a valuable resource that should never be forgotten or ignored.

But the responsibility of a Past Master does not end when he passes the gavel. In many ways, his role changes. He becomes a mentor, a teacher, an advisor, and a source of stability for those who follow.

At the same time, being a Past Master does not mean controlling the Lodge from the sidelines. The sitting Worshipful Master deserves our respect and support. A Past Master should offer guidance when it is needed, encouragement when it is deserved, and constructive advice when it can help the Lodge succeed.

Our Past Masters should help develop the men who will eventually sit in the East. They should teach them, encourage them, and prepare them to become better leaders than those who came before them.

Masonry is built on generations of men passing knowledge and responsibility from one Brother to another. If we fail to use the experience of our Past Masters, we lose an important part of our Lodge's foundation.

And if our Past Masters stop participating, mentoring, and serving, we lose an opportunity to strengthen the future of our Lodge.

A strong Lodge needs its current officers, its active members, its newer Masons—and its Past Masters working together.

*The Past Masters are not the past of the Lodge. They are part of its foundation and an important part of its future.*

Let us respect their experience, seek their wisdom, learn from their example, and encourage them to continue serving the Craft.

Because our obligation to Masonry does not end when we leave the East.

*Once a Mason has served as Master, he may become a Past Master—but he never becomes a Past Mason.*

Some members of Old Glory Lodge #141 attended the 187th Annual Grand Lodge of Illinois Communication in Springfield, IL. Attending this session is a requirement by our Grand Lodge. Business is conducted, votes are taken, communications are shared, and trainings are provided to helpus become better leaders, and members which will help us govern our respective lodges and for the overall betterment and preservation to of our great fraternity.

During this session lodges that have gone the extra mile, put in the extra work to be visible in their communities, and promote our fraternity are recognized and presented certain awards. Our lodge was once again achieved GOLD. This is a reflection and acknowledgement of the previous years hard work and dedication from our immediate Past Master Anthony Mark Delizo III and the members of our lodge who sacrificed their time and energy, participated in all the activities that helped our lodge gain this noble status. We also were awarded the 2026 9th Northeastern Eureka Challenge District Champion.

Congratulations Brethren! Let us continue this tradition by putting in the work that is needed unselfishley and remembering our obligations.
