The Installation of Lodge Officers Ceremony for Temple Lodge No. 6 was held on Saturday, December 26th, 2009 before a large audience of Brethren, family, and friends who came together from around New Mexico and other States to celebrate this event. Lodge was opened in form one last time by WB Nate Calloway before going to refreshment for preparation for the installation of 2010 Lodge Officers.
The installation of elected and appointed officers (13 in all) was a wonderful event to see. After our newly installed officers were at their proper places and stations; WB Chris Larsen offered introductions of visiting Brethren and remarks as our newly installed Worshipful Master. WB Larsen then presented gifts of appreciation to the 2010 Installation Team for their efforts during this special event. The Installation Ceremony ended with a presentation of the Past Master (PM) Apron to WB Nate Calloway by RWB Josh Lightle, who appointed WB Calloway to the Temple 6 Officer Line during his year as Master in 2004. The presentation of the PM Apron to the outgoing Master is a long standing tradition among Past Masters of Temple Lodge 6.
