Proclamation

Another year and another Installation. This time however it was to be a Proclamation.

The W.M. Bro Mackenzie was to be proclaimed the W.M. for the second consecutive year.

There was a large turnout of Kianawah Members and visiting Brethren, which totalled 80 Brethren in the Lodge room.

This was a first for Kianawah, as this was to be the first time for many years that the Lodge had 5 Stewards invested (all Master Masons).
After the Ceremony all the Brethren made their way to the Waterloo Bay Leisure Centre for the festive board, where the visitors of the Lodge were waiting, which included Wives of the Members of Kianawah and their guests.

All in all this was a great night and we look forward to next year’s installation!

Kianawah's community work

Members from Kianawah agreed that they would sell raffle tickets to raise funds for the Wynnum Scouts, to allow them to purchase 5 new canoes. The scouts have been in Wynnum for 100 years, therefore the Brethren got to work to achieve this goal.

This was achieved by the Brethren, by selling the tickets in the local area, and to friends and family.

The below is an excerpt from the letter received from the Wynnum Scouts Group Secretary


"The Wynnum Scouts would like the thank the Freemasons, Wynnum for their support of the Group in way of their fundraising efforts that enabled us to purchase five brand new canoes complete with oars and lifejackets.  The youth members will have many years of enjoyment with them and wholeheartedly, once again thank the Wynnum Freemasons".
