Wellington Masonic Lodge #127 held their annual Award Presentation meeting on Monday December 12, 2011; not all recipients were able to climb the stairs to the third floor meeting room so several brothers traveled to the members home to make their presentations. Those traveling with Worshipful Master Scott Markel were Delbert Mohrman, Jim Young, Ron Runion and Right Worship Brother David Hildebrandt who made the presentations on behalf of the Grand Lodge of Ohio and Kevin B. Todd Grand Master of Masons in Ohio.
Those receiving Fifty Year awards were Lowell Lutz with his wife Sharon and Avery Sooy with his wife Helen. The Sixty year recipient was Rev Robert Baker with his wife Neatty. The wife of each honoree pinned their husband on the occasion of this major milestone in their Masonic career. Others recognized during the December meeting were: Mike Ketchum, 25 years, Calvin Woods 35 years and Charles Seeley 40 years. Mike Ketchum and Larry Simonson were presented an Ohio Masonic Home Gold Card acknowledging their contribution to the Ohio Masonic Home in excess of $100.00. Robert Shays was presented a plague honoring his 14 consecutive years as Chaplain and Alan Kopnicky, Senior Deacon, was presented his first Lecture Bar by Anthony Constantine, District Education Officer.
