It was a sad day, but a beautiful day. We luckily had a break from the 11 straight days of rain and maybe as many as 40 Brethren attended the burial service for our beloved Brother, Uncle Bob Schmidt, PM. Brother Kent Kinkade, PM, presided in excellent form. He knew Uncle Bob was watching and would correct him if he made a mistake. Several of our tough ol’ Texas Masons got a little teary eyed as we gave him our goodbyes for his journey to the Celestial Lodge above. May he ever rest among the evergreens.

The Lodge brethren presented Sam with a personalized sword as a gift for the 26 years he served as the Hill City Tiler.

Our Brother, Bob Williams received his 50 Year Service Award recently. Bob is a regular at the Lodge , and he is most deserving of this prestigious award.

The new officers of Hill City no. 456 were installed during the traditional ceremony at the Scottish Rite Children’s Theater.

Hill City Lodge no. 456 joined the other 7 Lodges in the district for a picnic at Lake Travis. It was a very well attended event. BBQ brisket and all the trimmings was served for lunch. Everyone enjoyed a fun day of fun and relaxation.
