Vienna #205

We had a very enjoyable time last evening at Vienna #205 in Clio, Michigan. The purpose of the
 meeting was to confer the Fellowcraft Degree on a young man who also happens to be a DeMolay.

The degree was performed in fine fashion along with some fine lecturing ( if you exclude mine ) and the recap and letter G was done by a rather mature brother. I deeply regret not being able to recall his name but this brother does that part with such feeling and emotion, his performance is second to none. This brother although very aged and not able to move as easily as he once did takes great pride in this particular part of the ritual. What a contrast to see a brother who has been in the craft for numerous years lecturing to this very attentive and appreciative young Fellowcraft; Freemasonry illustrated for all those in attendance to witness, the very essence of our institution.


This young man who received his Fellowcraft Degree attends one of the local colleges and has formed a Masonic awareness club. He stated that he will be escorting several club members to the various open installation of officers, this will bring some of our rituals and traditions to light for these young men. What a tremendous outreach and innovative idea on the part of this young man. With new members like this our fraternity will carry on and probably grow beyond our imagination.
