The Last Stated Communication for 2008

The following photos are of WB Kieth Mann’s last stated communication. There was a great turn out and wonderful fellowship was enjoyed by all in attendance.

It began by the Brethren gathering and enjoying a meal together as seen in the following photos.

As has been the custom for the past few years, there was a “Priceless Dedication” of a “custom framed” photo picturing the out going Master. WB Kieth Mann was the recipient of the honor this year in a picture that appeared on the front page of the North Carolina Mason. He is shown observing the Closing Charge at this year’s historic Grand Lodge held in Winston Salem. The presentation and the photo in the frame are pictured below.

The caption reads “WB Kieth Mann is front and center during the Closing Charge at the historic Grand Lodge of 2008.”

Pictured above are WB Kieth Mann out going Master and WB Rick Harbin Junior Past Master. WB Rick is smiling because he will be able to turn over his JPM jewel to WB Kieth soon.

The Secretary Keith Harbin PM reads the minutes of the previous meetings while the Master gets ready for his final Stated Communication.  

One of the highlights of the evening was WB Mann presenting tokens of his appreciation to his officers and Brethren who helped him this year.
