From the East
Warmest greetings from the East!
Wow, what a phenomenal year 2023 has been for Hollywood Lodge 355!
This November, we celebrated our annual elections, and I'm thrilled to congratulate all the newly elected and appointed officers. It's been a fantastic journey together.
We had an incredible moment, presenting the 25 Year Master Mason Awards to five amazing brothers who've dedicated a remarkable 25 years to being Master Masons. The energy and camaraderie at this event were just astounding!
I had the pleasure of administering a spectacular triple first degree ceremony, and let me tell you, it was an experience to remember! And not just that, I also witnessed another awe-inspiring triple first degree ceremony at the Old West Lodge.
But wait, there's more! The installation for the Hollywood Chapter Order of DeMolay was absolutely mind-blowing. Our DeMolay is on the move with a full slate of motivated and devoted Officers and Parents. This year has been an absolute rollercoaster of excitement and joy - undoubtedly the best year of my life!
Next month is a big moment as I pass the Worshipful Master torch to Worshipful Michael Schneider on Saturday, January 6, 2024 at 6pm. Michael has been a monumental figure in my success this year, and I'm super confident that the Lodge is in the best of hands with him.
2023 has been a whirlwind of awesomeness, and I am so humbled and grateful to be a part of this incredible fraternity, especially this Lodge.
Don't forget to check out our calendar at www.hollywoodmasons.org for all the exciting future events!
With the highest energy and brotherly love,
May God Bless!
