Masonic Education highlights local temples, Hawaiian Lodge history

Thirty seven members of Hawaiian Lodge, Ko`olau and Le Progres lodges attended the Masonic Education on February 29 at the Community Church of Honolulu on Nuuanu Ave. MW Dennis Ing, PGM and Grand Lecturer, talked about the history of the five Masonic Lodges in Hawaii -- Kona, Kilauea, Maui, Schofield and Makiki. He also gave a detailed history of Hawaiian Lodge, which was chartered in 1852 under the Grand Lodge of California. “For years, Hawaiian Lodge was referred to as #21. There are now over 4,000 lodges in California,” he said, suggesting the early historical beginnings of the lodge. In 1989, it was chartered under the Grand Lodge of Hawaii. 

MW Ing also briefly talked about conducting stated meetings, particularly on making motions and how to make them reasonably short.
