The Brethren of Brant Lodge no. 663 enjoyed an evening full of Fellowship and celebration, featuring a 50 year pin presented to Bro. Lorne Brisbin by W. Bro. Matthew Maennling and W. Bro. Terry Lamping, and then an FC degree conferred by the Oakville Shrine Club degree team. A ballot for the affiliation of Bro. Ingo Hirt was found favourable to the applicant, and so Brant Lodge welcomes our newest affiliated member.
After the Business meeting, Balloting and 50 year pin presentation, Bro. Brierley proved his proficiency in the EA degree with exceptional quality and Fidelity. Then W.Bro. Maennling handed the gavel to W.Bro. Eric Marshall who directed the FC degree for the evening. Bro. Brierley was Passed to the Second Degree according to Ancient Custom, and now Brant Lodge No. 663 has its newest FC member.
It was wonderful to see members of 8 Lodges visiting during the evening, and seeing the Oakville Shrine Club degree team perform to a high standard. The Banquet hour featured brisket and cabbage to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, and the Brethren and visitors enjoyed Fellowship in the Banquet Hall.
A special thanks to the Oakville Shrine Club Degree team, W.Bro. Eric Marshall and W.Bro Terry Lamping for the special evening and our Senior Steward for the delicious food and beverages. Congratulations Bros. Brierley and Brisbin!
