This prestigious honor is the equivalent of our "Hiram Award" and is presented annually to a Caregiver volunteer who demonstrates the selfless characteristics of brotherly love, relief and truth so quietly and consistently exemplified by our Worshipful Norm.

Through your commitment to our local Scouting Troop you have once again "Toed the Line" KUDOS We have just recently brought to the light of Free Masonry 5 new Brethren. It is exciting to see the energy Brothers Johnny Holt, Patrick Borros, Christopher D'Onofrio, Corey Jones and Robert Menga are exerting in their new found Craft. I am heartfelt with gratitude to The Brothers who have accepted the responsibility to mentor these men on their path in Masonry. By accepting this privilege and duty to educate, guide and foster these Brethren you are committing yourself to the Future of our Craft! You are not teaching words... You are imparting ideas, ideals, traditions, truths and life lessons; you are explaining and exemplifying the work... its meaning its burdens its responsibilities and its privileges! You, Brother Worshipful Kirt has been traveling for business reasons again this month and will not have an article from the South. Please check back next month. Our newest Entered Apprentices
