2010 Ashlar Lodge Milestones

After the excitement of the 2009 renovations, 2010 continued the recent high volume of degree work at Ashlar. Only one regular meeting was held this year without some form of Degree work being performed, and all the emergent meetings were held for that reason alone.

This year saw a bit of a shake up in the Officer's progression as several Brothers stood aside for personal and employment related reasons. Fortunately, the spaces were filled admirably by the members keen to begin their progression.

We started this year with the dedication of our new Heavens (Bros. Pacheko, Barr & Cousins) and closed the year with the start of a new mural being designed for the entrance hallway at the foot of the stairs (Bro.Ludgate).

We also welcomed sevearl more experienced craftsmen to Ashlar by affiliation this year.These members bring decades of experience and vision to Ashlar and were very warmly welcomed.

As is ever the case, this past year we lost several notable Brothers to the Grand Lodge Above. Of particular note were the loss of W.Bro. T.Rozak (Sr.) and R.W.Bro.L.Carter. Their energy and contribution to the everyday life of the Lodge will be sorely missed.
