Dear Brethren, Families, and Esteemed Guests,
On behalf of the 150th Joint Lodge Anniversary Committee, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you who joined us in commemorating this significant milestone in our lodge's history. Your presence and participation made the celebration truly memorable.
The success of our anniversary event was a testament to the collective efforts of our dedicated members, volunteers, and supporters. We are especially thankful to:
The planning committee for their meticulous organization and coordination.
The speakers and performers who enriched the event with their inspiring words and talents.
The volunteers who ensured everything ran smoothly behind the scenes.
Our families and friends for their unwavering support and encouragement.
Reflecting on our 150-year journey, we are reminded of the enduring values and traditions that have guided our lodges. This celebration not only honored our past but also reinvigorated our commitment to the principles of brotherhood, charity, and truth.
As we look to the future, we are excited to continue building upon this legacy, fostering a community that upholds the highest standards of Freemasonry. We invite you to remain engaged and participate in our upcoming events and initiatives.
Thank you once again for being an integral part of our 150th-anniversary celebration. Your support and fellowship are deeply appreciated.
Fraternally yours,
Leroy L. Allen
Brother Leroy Allen, Past Mast Master Chairperson, 150th Joint Lodge Anniversary Committee Pythagoras Lodge #11
Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring. Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that dark path has taught us, sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of a new day begun, let us march on till victory is won.
Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet, come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over the way that with tears has been watered, we have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who has by Thy might, led us into the light, keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee, shadowed beneath thy hand, may we forever stand, true to our God, true to our native land.
