Officers attend seminar on HMC, lodge management

Officers of Hawaiian Lodge gathered for a one-day seminar on the Hawaii Masonic Code (HMC). Held on March 24, the HMC instruction focused on Sections of the Code directly affecting lodge management and operation. MW Dennis Ing, PGM, GL conducted the very informative session.


RW Richard Huston, PM, JGW also spoke on “Masonic Leadership” and stressed the three tenets of Freemasonry as its basic foundation. The Grand Master, MW Monty Glover, also attended the seminar and updated the officers on the latest activities of the Grand Lodge.


In the post-event evaluation, the officers expressed that the seminar was “very useful” and recommended that a follow up instruction on the HMC be made.
