The Brethren of St. Mark’s Lodge would like to thank all those that came out yesterday to help us honor just a few individuals that have given back so much to the Fraternity and the Community.

Bro Lamson has served the Lodge as Treasurer for many years, is the driving force behind the annual Christmas Tree fundraiser, and keeps the Lodge up to date on ChIP events in the area.

We’d also like to extend a thank you to all the Past Masters of St. Mark’s that were able to attend the event. They’re pictured below with our Grand Master, District Deputy Grand Master, and our Sullivan Award recipients.
