The Installation of Lodge Officers Ceremony for Temple Lodge No. 6 was held on Monday, December 27th, 2010 before a large audience of Brethren, family, and friends who came together from around New Mexico to celebrate this event. Lodge was opened in form one last time by WB Chris Larsen before going to refreshment for preparation for the installation of 2011 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 Bill Sadler offered introductions of visiting Brethren and remarks as our newly installed Worshipful Master. WB Sadler then presented gifts of appreciation to the 2011 Installation Team for their efforts during this special event. The Installation Ceremony ended with a presentation of the Past Master (PM) Apron to WB Chris Larsen by RWB Josh Lightle, who was part of the officer line when WB Larsen was first made an officer in Temple 6.
The presentation of the PM Apron to the outgoing Master is a long standing tradition among Past Masters of Temple Lodge 6.
