Honoring Eric Murphy for his Service as Worshipful Master

Brothers,

Please join me in extending a heartfelt thanks to Eric Murphy for his two years of service as Worshipful Master of Union Lodge #45. Eric rose to the occasion and accepted the mantle of W.:M.: straight from Junior Warden and gave his all to the position, regularly stretching his cabletow beyond what many of us would have been capable of.

Brothers and their ladies recently honored Worshipful Brother Murphy for his term of service along with his family, and presented him with his Past Master’s apron. Please enjoy the following pictures of the dinner and presentation!

Congratulations to 3 new Master Masons!

Brothers, We had the pleasure of raising three brothers this past Thursday, February 22. Our brother John Beiter was joined by brothers Tom McCullough (Olive Branch Lodge #39) and Joseph Lawrence (Nunda Station Lodge #682) for the degree which was led by Past-Master W.: Corey VanBlarcom!  Everybody did a fantastic job from the meal prior to the degree through to the fellowship afterwards.  We were pleased to have been joined by so many brothers from our district lodges for this special degree!

An Evening with the BSA

At our regular communication on February 9th, we were lucky enough to be joined by Boy Scouts from Lima and Mendon!  We shared a festive board and then were witness to a fascinating presentation about the many links between Scouting and Freemasonry by our Brother Ken Samarra!  It was a wonderful evening that will leave lasting memories with both scout and mason.
