Trestle Board - November 2024

From the East

Greeting Brothers,

Ionic has two brand new Master Masons, Bro. Zach & Bro. Camilo, who were raised on October 17th. We are extremely excited to welcome them into our Beehive and set them on the path for their Masonic Journey. As always, thanks to all the Brothers who attended, and a very special thank you to our Degree Team! Another thank you goes to W:. John (Riverside Lodge No. 266), who stepped in at the 11th hour, and presided over the Degree. Ionic truly values our relationships with our neighboring lodges, Riverside Lodge No. 266 and Albert J. Russell No. 126. Both Lodges in attendance for the support of our new Master Masons. Thank you, Brothers!

On Halloween, Ionic was given the opportunity to host Masonic Leadership Training. W:. Steve (MLT Instructor) taught the course with eleven visiting Brothers attending. For most of them, this was their first visit to our lodge. We received great feedback from the event. Thanks to our efforts and work, Ionic's name and reputation is growing in Jacksonville's Masonic community.

This month the Scottish Rite Guard and Personal Representative, W:. Bill, visited Ionic with the mission of retrieving their Traveling Sword. In addition, they wished to honor the memory of W:. David, as he was a past Captain of the SR Guard. Good fellowship was had by all. By the way, we still have the Scottish Rite Traveling Gavel as well.

Take care of one another!
Sincerely,

Travis, WM
