My Brothers, as Freemasons we should all be very proud at this moment and time because history has just been made and it was a long time coming. Wauchula Lodge No. 17 F. & A. M. under the jurisdiction of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Florida in the 21st Masonic District and Zolfo Lodge No. 223 F. & A. M. under the jurisdiction of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Florida Prince Hall Affiliated in the 23rd Masonic District were finally given the opportunity last night to meet for the first time, sharing a meal and sitting in lodge together in unity. All of this was made possible several years ago under an agreement of amity and recognition by both Grand Lodges but unfortunately due to disagreements of how Brothers should be allowed to visit resulted in only the Grand Masters and Grand Line having the visitation privileges. I'm pleased to report to you that the ice which has separated our Masonic Brethren has started to thaw.
