Group Shot of 2017 GLC at Sweet Home Temple

What an amazing convention! The Sweet Home Temple was filled to capacity on Monday, January 30th for the Convention. Dinner was held before and the Ladies and Youth Groups of Sweet Home hosted a pasta dinner that was very well attended by the convention goers.  Thank you to those that helped with dinner. It is a lot of work! The crowds soon moved to the Lodge Room, well over 100 Masons! We were honored to host many honored guests, especially 2 D.D.G.Ms from other Districts along with 2 Grand Masters, Most Wor. Carl Smith and Most Wor. Edward G. Gilbert.

The program was handled by our Grand Lecturer, Right Wor. Richard J. Kessler who crushed it! It was one of the most interactive and engaging conventions to date. Thank you to Very Wor. Donald Williams or A.G.L who put together a wonderful team to present the work. As with all conventions, awards were handed out by Right Wor. Kessler. We even had visitors from Western Star Lodge No. 1185 from Second Erie. They not only received their Meacham Award and earned their Potts Award but also took the School of Instruction Gavel for attendance.  We can’t even win on our home turf?! Time for a trip to Western Star…..

Take a look below for all those who have earned honors at this convention. We look forward to next year and seeing if we can get even more participation!
