Dedicated Mason Honored
On Friday, June 8th, the brethren of United Lodge #8 honored one of the most dedicated Masons in the 14th District, Worshipful Brother Robert E. Webber. He has held almost every office in the lodge at one time or another and he has served as Master of the lodge 5 times. He is never too busy to help anyone and he truly exemplifies the true meaning of being a Mason.
We wanted to recognize Bob and his Wife, Sandy, in a special way because they are an awesome team and have done so much for United Lodge #8. We treated them to a tasty dinner at Richard’s German restaurant in Brunswick in the company of 25 brothers and their wives. The Master, Worshipful Brother Harry Grinder presented Sandy with a bouquet of flowers and he presented Bob with a framed certificate that identified him as our Most Valuable Mason. It was a very special evening.
