Brethren,
It is with great pride and joy that we announce Temple Lodge 6 and Sandia Mountain Lodge 72 have been selected to receive the Mark Twain Masonic Awareness Award (MTMAA) for 2010. The announcement came at this years Conference of Grandmasters of Masons in North America, held at the Denver Sheraton Hotel, Colorado (Feb. 20 -22, 2011). MWB Garry Deck (Grand Master of Masons in New Mexico) and MWB Danny Calloway (NM Grand Secretary) were in attendance during the announcement of last years recipients of the MTMAA.

The MTMAA is a National Masonic Award sponsored by the Masonic Services Association of North America, Masonic Information Center and was created to recognize Masonic lodges across the country who have demonstrated exemplary work in constructing a positive Masonic identity within the lodge and for the local community. MTMAA winners are limited to less than 30 lodges each year and for 2010 - only 17 Masonic Lodges received this prestigious honor. We would also like to add that Temple Lodge 6 and Sandia Mountain Lodge 72 are the first lodges in New Mexico to receive the MTMAA.
Congratulations to the Brethren of Temple Lodge 6 and Sandia Mountain Lodge 72 on a job well done!
