Family Night Dinner Honoring New Masons |
A special thank you to Brother Bisacchi, Junior Warden, for another outstanding Family Night Dinner on Thursday April 30, 2009. Brother Bisacchi had an excellent dinner and program and we thank him for his continued dedication and service to the Fraternity. Thirty seven (37) Brothers, their ladies, and families joined in the celebration to honor our Newest Master Masons. These Masons were raised in 2008 and 2009 and are a great addition to our Lodge. And our newest future Mason, Isaac, son of our Junior Past Master W. Derek Free was also present for his first Lodge Dinner. Past Master’s certificates were awarded to the Past Master’s present and everyone enjoyed the presentations made by W. Miller and Brother Menendez.
This year we will be exploring some new and different Family Night Dinners. Our Family Night Dinners will be the fifth Thursday in July, and October. Watch for further details in the Trestle Board. Come out and enjoy in the fun!

Congratulations Master Mason Brothers |
Congratulations to Brothers Christopher Anderson, Robert Aylla III, and James Vance Snapp on being raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason on Thursday May 21, 2009. We welcome you as our newest Master Masons and hope that you will enjoy the honor of being a Freemason. It was great to have so many Brothers from the Orlando Lodges visiting for the raising of these Brothers. Two Fathers, Aylla and Snapp, raised their Sons as a Master Mason. Our officers and members did an excellent job of putting on the degree and look forward to a year filled with C.A.R.E., Commitment, Attitude, Resources, and Enthusiasm. Thank you to all who participated and made this a very special degree.

The Angels continued there play with a third place in the Spring Break Tournament. And a special thank you to all the Brothers and their families who came out and supported our team.

Masonic Home Pilgrimage and Visit to Ms. Edna Teel |
Saturday March 21, 2009 was a beautiful spring day to join in the Masonic Home celebrations and visit our very own Ms. Edna Teel who is 106 years young. It is always great to visit our Masonic Home but to have such a perfect day and see so many of our Masonic organizations and brothers and sisters made the day very special. Thanks to Brothers Meade, Lambert, and Ross for spending the day and bringing a little love into Ms. Teel’s life. She is just as sharp and aware of things and wishes to thank all the Holyrood Lodge brothers who continue to care and look after her. It is our duty and obligation to be of service to this very special lady.

Where in the world is Brother Lewis? |
My Brothers,
It is great to see so much activity at Holyrood Lodge! As you can tell from the picture below, the kids are getting bigger, we're keeping Disney in business, and it's true, Christopher DID pull the fire alarm at daycare! Wish me luck! I look forward to seeing everyone in Lodge.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Brother Lewis
