This past August, the Worshipful Master the annual lodge Bar-B-Que at his home. Although the weather was hot, the turnout was great. Everyone shared stories, drank beer and scotch, and at enough food to feed a small village. It’s quite possible we did feed a small village. The kids splashed in the pool and played with the Senior Warden’s puppy. It was a great start to what is sure to be a great Masonic year.

One of our goals this year is to try and personally present the years of service awards to those brothers that were unable to attend the installation ceremonies in June. Our first stop was with W. Lester Kent, who received his 45 year pin and certificate. It was great hearing about his stories from the army to when he worked for Mr. Hefner and the Playboy empire. We wish W. Kent 45 more years of Freemasonry.

Harborfest 2013 – an overwhelming success. As in past years, the brothers of PPW #855 participated in the 2013 Port Washington Harborfest at the town dock. Over 125 children and adults were provided ID’s free of charge. The greatest success though, was the number of participants that volunteered. Throughout the short time we were there, over 30 brothers and family members gave up their Sunday afternoon to participate in this great cause.

It was a historic day. On June 12th, our own Bro. Brian Staley was sworn in as Deputy Chief of Police for the Port Washington Police Department. Brian is the first African-American to hold this position in the precinct. There was a good showing of brothers at his swearing in. Congratulations Bro. Brian. It is a well deserved promotion.
