INSTALLATIONS, from page 1
end of the Setzer lodge event.
Many installations were special,
but among those that stood out was
the installation of officers at Sophia
#767. Clad in black tie and kilts
with the family tartan, brothers were
installed by Installing Master Senior
Grand Warden Larry ompson.
Brothers celebrated in style that
evening at their second annual
Burns Night dinner, complete with
haggis and bagpipes.
In other formal events and rituals
of the season, one lodge made
history.
Kernersville 669 organized
a First Degree for three young
petitioners and invited Shaun
Bradshaw, Grand Master of Masons
in North Carolina, and Daniel L.
"DT" ompson, Grand Master of
the Most Worshipful Prince Hall
Grand Lodge.
Together, both grand masters
welcomed the young men and spent
some time with brothers in what
is believed to be a first – a degree
attended by the two sitting Grand
Masters in North Carolina.
Newly installed Charles M. Setzer #693 Master Kenneth Lambert pauses to thank
Grand Steward Michael Register, right, for presiding as installing officer.
