Brothers, This marks a momentous occasion for Harmonie Lodge No. 699. Not only were we able to welcome four wonderful men into the fullness of Masonic light but we did it in true Harmonie style. Over the last two years of my Mastership the Lodge has undergone a capital improvements campaign. We basically replaced every item needed during our Masonic work with more modern and durable items. The crowning achievement is the completion of the 3rd Degree regalia seen in this photo. It took two years to finish and required the talents of Bro. Geoff Haige and his wife at http://www.threadsoftime.com. They with our input designed and produced every item in the photo. The Lodge wanted to keep to our German roots and make something that would be unique to us. With that in mind we tried for a German medieval look that came out just amazingly.
The regalia means nothing without good work. The Brothers smashed it out of the park with this Degree. The Right Worshipful DDGM was in attendance and commented that his was one of the finest Degrees he has ever seen. I have to agree with him. It was spot on. This Degree also solidified the Lodge earning the Henry G. Meacham Ward for being able to preform all 3 Degrees without help from Brothers outside our Lodge's membership. Something that sounds way easier than it is!
Lets not lose what is most important. We welcomed four amazing men into full membership. The work impressed upon their minds how transforming Masonry is. They only get one set of Degrees and I know that these Brothers will take away an experience of a lifetime.
