Ladies and widows night
On Feb. 11, Annawon Lodge 115 celebrated an evening for our Ladies and Widows. They had a dinner prepared by the Brothers of the Lodge, followed by desert and coffee. Each lady was recognized by her Mason individually, with a “from the heart” message and given a flower. All messages were personalized and uniquely done. The widows were recognized with the Order of the Rose Ceremony and also received a flower and a pin with the symbol of a broken column on it. The broken column represents an untimely death.
