The MW Grand Master of Texas, Jim Rumsey, honored Hill City Lodge with a special visit last night to celebrate the lodge’s 150th anniversary. Along with Grand Senior Warden H Chip Green and other Grand Officers, the brethren dined on a delicious meal prepared by the Garde Manger of Austin Scottish Rite. After dinner the Grand Master conducted a special ceremony to honor the occasion and present the lodge with a special 150th certificate.
The officers for the forthcoming masonic year were installated in due form last week. 48 people attended for a delicious catered meal followed by the installation ceremony. The Colorado Commandary No 4 were in attendance to provide an Arch of Steel and presentation of the flags.
There’s a busy year ahead with a comprehensive lodge program ahead, starting with a visit by the Grand Master next week to mark the lodge’s 150th anniversary.
We held a special meeting May 26th in which six well deserving students and their families and friends were presented with checks by the lodge to support their college education starting this fall. Over thirty guests and members dined and then attended a presentation ceremony in the theater where each student was presented with a check. Each had applied to the lodge and successfully navigated the review and diligence process. We also gave an award to a deserving teacher.
The awards are an annual event which the lodge is delighted to support.
The installation of officers for the 2026-27 year will take place on Tuesday 30th June 2026 in the theater at the Scottish Rite Children’s Theater in Austin. The evening is open to everyone including families and friends of Hill City members. Come along and enjoy dinner and the open installation ceremony with us.
Officer nominations will be at the June Stated Meeting on Tuesday June 2nd.

On Tuesday December 9th, the Lodge hosted our annual Holiday Party and Past Masters Meal. It is a Family Night, so brothers and families enjoyed an evening full of Entertainment, Door prizes, and a fine meal prepared by the Past Masters of the Lodge. This year’s menu was King Ranch and yummy side dishes and wonderful Dessert.
The lodge met this evening to mark the award of three scholarships to recent high school graduates who are embarking on the next stage of their education and training.
Manuel Rodriguez attended with his partner and delightful eight month old baby, Armando, to receive his check from Worshipful Master Nate Stillwell. Both Manuel and his partner spoke about the huge difference the lodge’s award will make to life.
Unfortunately the other two recipients were unable to make the meeting.
