The Lodge of Prudence No. 8946 enjoyed a double celebration at its recent Installation meeting on October 22nd, 2016.
WBro Eddie Hilton was installed into the Masters Chair for the second time, however on this occasion, the outgoing Worshipful Master, WBro Renaud Foussal de Belerd, kindly allowed WBro Eddie’s son, WBro Anthony Hilton, to conduct the Inner Working and install his father into the Chair of King Solomon.
The second cause for celebration was for WBro Arthur Jolly who received a certificate from the Province celebrating his 50 years of service to Freemasonry. WBro Jerry Higgins, presented the certificate to WBro Arthur and referred to WBro Arthur's long and varied Masonic career during which he had received Provincial Grand Honours in three provinces, including our own. WBro Arthur made a heartfelt reply, thanking the brethren of the Lodge and the Province for honouring him with the presentation of this special certificate.
