By Berother Jeremy Koss. District 12 Deputy
The Brothers of District 12 presented an outstanding Masonic Day of Light hosted by Tripoli Shrine in Milwaukee on February 3. The Shrine was filled with over forty candidates and their mentors. There were candidates coming from 23 Lodges in Districts 2, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, and 12. District 12 Lecturer Jasen Groves, PM of Freemasons Lodge No. 363 enlisted the assistance of the degree captains to assemble the degree teams which included Brothers from across Districts 10, 11, and 12. The degree captains were Worshipful Master Matthew Konradt of Lake Lodge No. 189 and his Entered Apprentice team, Worshipful Brother Jerry Rieck, PM of George Washington 1776 Lodge No. 337 and his Fellow Craft team, and Worshipful Brother Michael Reindl, PM of Freemasons Lodge No. 363 with his Master Mason team.
The degree work was presented and executed with excellence. We would like to thank Illustrious Sir Gerald Arnholt, Potentate of Tripoli Shrine, for donating the use of the building for the Masonic Day of Light and Brother Patrick Jackson for all his logistical help. Thank you, to the degree captains and their participation. Thank you, Tripoli Scimitar Foundation for sponsoring coffee and carbs along with Chef Cassie for lunch. And finally, a hardy congratulations, to the forty-one new Master Masons of Wisconsin, welcome to the World’s greatest fraternity!
