Specialis Procer U.D. A.F. & A.M.!
Last night the Most Worshipful Grand Master of Masons in Iowa, Donald E. Mosier, instituted Specialis Procer Lodge U.D. in a ceremony in the Craft Lodge room of the Des Moines Consistory. The Grand Lodge officers and many guests were present for the event. I was honored to be appointed by the Grand Master to serve as Master of the lodge during its dispensation period which will probably be the remainder of this year and most of next year.
Our Secretary, Brother Jay Cole Simser, took photos of the event which I hope he'll post on his blog. If so, I'll post links back to his photos.
I want to thank the Grand Master and Grand Lodge officers, the brethren of Specialis Procer and in particular Kurt Hoffman, SW and Jay Simser for the original idea and all their hard work. I also want to thank Shane Harshbarger, our treasurer and the Secretary Registrar of the Scottish Rite, for his hospitality for the use of the facilities. Waveland Park Lodge also kindly let us have their usual night in the lodge room so that we could have this dispensation ceremony and I greatly appreciate their brotherly selflessness in doing so.
Brother Frederick Killian, JW and his wife served wonderful refreshments. And, Daylight Lodge graciously loaned us their regalia and furniture for the evening.
And, thanks go to all the new brethren of Specialis Procer for their hard work for its beginning. Here is a list of our officers. And, I believe a list of the membership will be posted to the webpage. Brother Hoffman is our webmaster and, he is doing wonderful work! I'm amazed at how quickly he posts material to the site!
Our first Stated Meeting will be July 25 at 6:30 p.m. at the Des Moines Consistory.
