Trestle Board - September 2025
Greetings Brothers,
The month of August was a busy one for Ionic. First and foremost, we would like to welcome into our fold and congratulate Brother Will for being raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason. Special thanks to our Degree Team for putting on an outstanding degree once again. Your dedication to the Fraternity is appreciated by all! Thank you for the many hours of memorization and rehearsals that made this one of our best degrees ever. We would also like to thank Temple Lodge and their newly raised Brother for partnering with us on this degree. We are extremely proud of the hard work our team has put into making the new Brothers experience a memorable one.
This month marked our District Deputy Grand Master's official visit and Lodge audit. Thank you to all the officers and Brothers who came out for the meeting. We received great feedback from the DDGM and he is extremely pleased with our work here at Ionic. We passed our audit with flying colors. We would like to thank our Secretary, W:. Harry, for all of his hard work behind the scenes that made the audit go so smoothly!
In September, Ionic has been asked to host the Northeast Florida Masonic Association monthly meeting. It will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 24th at 6:30pm in our dining hall. We had a great turnout last year and we are expecting another big one this year. Please make plans to attend for a good dinner and great brotherly fellowship.
The Lodge is now accepting Officer Nomination forms for the upcoming 2026 Officers Line. Reminder that you must have completed MM Exams I,II,III and MLT courses by October. Nominations must be in by the first meeting in November and elections will be held the first meeting of December. Thank you to all Brothers who are currently serving and those who have come before us.
Alas, My Brother:
We received word this week that Brother R:.W:. George Grant, (PDDGM), was called home to the Celestial Lodge Above by the Supreme Architect of the Universe. Please remember his family in your prayers.
Take Care of One Another!
Fraternally,
Travis, WM
