My Masonic Journey
5th Decade
My 5th Decade 2019 to ?
At 40 years in Masonry a new beginning starts, on January 8th 2019 I was voted in as a member of Oriental Lodge #460 located in Orangeville Pa. My Masonic Journey has been a wonderful experience to this point, I am looking forward to a new path and the next decade in Masonry.
Good-By to Sylvania Lodge may you prosper and grow without me…it has been a great pleasure to serve in what every
capacity afforded me while 40 years of membership 1979 to 2018.

Total degrees to date 203. I may have missed a few, but who is counting. I encourage anyone conferring degrees to keep track, Grand Lodge will recognize you for conferring 100 degrees. You will then enter the Century Club and be awarded a certificate from the Grand Master as I was at the 150th anniversary at Sylvania Lodge. see events photo

This year will most likely be a wash, the pandemic finished off last year. Until things are back to normal, I feel that lodge meetings will be out of the question for me. I am looking forward to getting back to visiting other lodges.
