Last night was a special one for Yeronga Lodge. We firstly initiated Mr Matthew Callow, another keen young man who has chosen to join our great organisation and our wonderul lodge. We then were able to witness the presentation of a 50 Year Jewel to Wor Bro Rick Hall PSGD. The Jewel was presented by Rick's good friend Wor Bro Jim Whitten PSGD. Also present was Rick's son Ian, a Yeronga Lodge member whose business commitents make it difficult to attend regularly.
We also welcomed back Wor Bro Bjorn Snobohm from his regular sojourn to Sweden for the northern summer. He brought greetings from the Grand Lodge of Sweden.
To cap off the good news we heard that new member Bro Adam Palfery and his wife Kelly had a baby boy, Harris, last Friday. All doing well.
The ceremony of initiation was well led by acting WM Wor Bro Peter Sinclair.
We were happy to welcome a number of visitors including the sitting Worshipful Masters of Lodges Ashton, Morningside and Celtic of Ithaca. We were also especially pleased to welcome Bro Steven Ball who was initiated into Celtic of Ithaca last week.
We balloted for a new member, Mr David Myles, who will be initiated later in the year. We are also processing a number of other membership enquiries.
