Hillcrest Lodge #1318

Brethren, I saw this on the Grand Lodge schedule and thought I would pass it along. On August 21st starting at about 9 AM a Master Mason's Degree will be conferred in the Senate Chamber of the State Capitol by Canyon Lake Lodge No, 1425. All Master Masons are invited. You will need to bring a current dues card, a picture ID (if a Texas Mason) and an apron. I unfortunately cannot be in attendance due to a schedule conflict, but I hope some of our members from Hillcrest have a chance to watch this ceremony and can provide a report to the lodge at a later date.

First and foremost, I would like to thank all who made it out to our installation and/or reception. It was a great time had by all (or at least that is what they tell me.) Your Officers appreciated your presence, support and brotherhood. If you could not make it, we hope to catch up with you at the next stated meeting.

Dallas Lodge No. 760 will host a Masonic Round Table discussion group, the first in an on-going series held on the third Tuesday of every month. Its purpose is to go beyond the explanations of the degree lectures, dig deeper into the symbolism of Masonry, and occasionally to provide lectures on Freemasonry which will be open to the public. We welcome suggestions for future topics and any brethren who have talks they wish to give or wish to lead discussions.

Good Brothers,

it's great to be a Mason.....

We will be celebrating this fifth Thursday at Ozona's on Greenville at 7pm. This is an open social activity for anyone in any lodge, or anyone interested in knowing more about Masonry. When you arrive, just ask for the Hillcrest party.

As the sun has set on yet another Masonic year and we are all wondering how they go by faster and faster, a new day arises. As Worshipful Master-Elect, I am proud to have been given the honor to serve all of you and Hillcrest Lodge for the next 12 short months. I will never be able to explain the gratitude I have for the confidence you have bestowed upon me and in my abilities for the responsibilities that are to come.
