This month we had a candidate for initiation.
The turnout was exceptional. This was capped by a Fraternal visit from Scotia Lodge, with the W.M. being accompanied by his officers and some Entered Apprentices.
The candidate showed great attention to all the charges that were delivered, and was congratulated by the way in which he conducted himself.
To finish the night we had the usual festive board allowing the members and visitors to share a joke or two.
I'm sure that the candidate will agree that this was a night that he'll remember for some time to come!

New Year
Happy New Year!
2011 has certainly started, and in fact it feels like we're off to a flyer already.
As most of you know, we close our Lodge doors after the December meeting and re-open them again in February.
Since then there have been some major issues that have affected Queensland.
75% of the state has been declared a disaster zone after the recent flooding that affected, Rockhampton, Gladstone, Dalby, Toowoomba, Ipswich and Brisbane. These floods have been compared to the floods of 74.
Homes were devastated and in some cases destroyed completely. Some will take months to clean, and that's just the start of it. Then there is the loss of life. Homes can be replaced but lives can't.

1st Degree, Birthday and Prawns
What an end to the year!
It was the last meeting of 2010, and what better way to end it, than by conducting another 1st degree.
The candidate showed great poise and attention throughout the ceremony. The officers of the lodge didn't let the candidate down either,they conducted themselves in the usual manner, and the level of work carried out was excellent. There were aslo some favourable words from the A.G.S.W.
Following the closing of the lodge, all Brethren and visitors went upstairs for the Christmas festive board. Being traditional of Christmas time, or at least Christmas in Australia, prawns were served.
It was also a special night for Wor.Bro Clarke. It was his birthday, but he wasn't giving much away on the age front! 21 again Bob?
All that's left for me to say, is that on behalf of the W.M.,officers and Brethren of Kianawah Lodge, we hope that everyone has a safe and enjoyable Christmas, and prosperity for the new year ahead.

Special Night
It was a new month, so what better way to start, than by welcoming a new brother into Kianawah.
This time the honour was on Wor Bro.Wilson, as he welcomed his son Jared into Freemasonry.
It was a special night, as our newly initiated brother had not only his father in lodge but his uncle, making the occasion even more memorable.
The candidate showed great poise and composure throughout, and as such was given some favourable words by the A.G.S.W. who was in attendance to witness the occasion.
We welcomed some old and new friends to Kianawah , and as always their presence was greatly appreciated by the W.M and the Brethren of Kianawah.
To finish the evening, we had our usual festive board, and this was capped off with some of Scotland’s finest, Glenfiddich, which was donated by the candidate

Melbourne Cup Breakfast
Another day, another reason for a get together.
Sunday the 31st October saw all Kianawah Brethren and family attend the annual breakfast at Lota Foreshore.
What made this year special?
Well this year the children of the Lodge were treated to a present, which was given out by the W.M. The look on the children's faces were priceless, as they were trying to work out if it was Christmas already, or whether in fact it was their birthday?
All the kids enjoyed themselves as much as the adults, and as a result the event was an overall success.
A special thank you goes out to Bro.Clarke and Gloria for the organising of the food, Bro.Smith and Thelma for the gifts they organised for the children. All their time and effort is appreciated as always.
Can't wait to next year, and hopefully it'll be bigger and better, with more friends of Kianawah attending, making it a "Must" attend event.
