On Tuesday December 21, 2010 several members of Wellington Lodge traveled to the Emeritus at Medina to present a service award to long term member Howard West. We were honored that Grand Master Bradford A. Goebel was in attendance. The Grand Master presented a 70 year award to Worshipful Brother Howard West who is 91 years young. His daughter Jean placed the pin on his lapel and the Grand Master presented him with his certificate from Grand Lodge. Worshipful Brother West is Wellington Lodge’s first Past Master to obtain the distinction of being a 50 year Past Master. Following this presentation the members of Wellington Lodge traveled to Rochester Ohio to present two 50 Year service awards to long term members Jerry Hines and Bill Simonson. Presenting their wards were RWB Robert Behner Grand Chaplain and RWB Ronald Runion, Aide to the Grand Master, assisting with the presentation was WB Delbert Mohrman who was the Master of Wellington Lodge in 1961 when these brothers were raised. Additional award presentations will be made on January 10, 2011. See you in Lodge!
