Lake Wales Lodge No. 242 Final Stated Communication For 2025

This morning the officers and Brethren of Lake Wales Lodge No. 242 gathered to hold their final Stated Communication for the 2025 Masonic year. A wonderful buffet breakfast of poached and scrambled eggs, sausage patties, potatoes with onions and peppers and southern biscuits were served.

Upon the opening of the lodge the craft immediately went into action conducting their usual Masonic business and then a vote of the new lodge officers for the 2026 Masonic year. Incoming Worshipful Master Shawn Perkins outlined his plans for the new year and departing Worshipful Master David Blackmon thanked his officers and the craft of the lodge for a very productive Masonic year in 2025.
