Austin Scottish Rite Reunion and Degrees
The Austin Valley of the Scottish Rite had its Moton H. Crockett Jr. Reunion on 10 July at the Scottish Rite Temple & Theatre. It was a compressed Reunion since the planning and preparation were taking place under evolving restrictions related to COVID-19. This is noteworthy not only by its being in our jurisdiction and the same building as our Lodge, but our very own Junior Steward, Nick Grossman, was a member of the class and received the 29 nine degrees of Scottish Rite make him a 32° Scottish Rite Mason.

Tradition of Outstanding Meals at Hill City Lodge is BACK !
Robert Eschenburg frequently reminds all of us at Hill City Lodge of our tradition for having an outstanding meal on the table for Masons, families and visitors every Tuesday night. The pandemic, the lockdowns, and the overall disruption in our lives for this past Masonic year certainly threw a wrench into that but SS Ryan Divincenzo and JS Sean Williams soldiered on and did the best that could be done under adverse circumstances. For the past 3 months we have seen rising attendance at Stated and Called meetings as life starting coming back to normal.
Last night for our Installation evening, Brother Williams astounded the 30+ attendees with a fantastic dinner and mustered the help of several Brothers to serve us all in the dining room (like a real restaurant !) on real dishes. It is true that fantastic food is always helped by great presentation and remarkable service rendered, in this case, by some of our most junior masons, several Past Masters, and even a non-Mason who has been visiting regularly. Even the cleaning up in the kitchen, after a long night in the Lodge room, was like the good ol’ days of Hill City Lodge fraternity.
For those of you who could not join us for the evening, here is the meal we enjoyed. Trust me and all the other Brothers who remarked at the salmon, potatoes, and really exquisite asparagus and carrots, it was great.
So come on down on Tuesday evenings and maybe you’ll luck out and get a meal like this.
