The 2012 installation appeared to be fun for all and was the beginning of another good year for SW Hackett Lodge.  You've no doubt seen the pictures of the officers that were installed, now for some pictures of the celebration.

 

To begin I wish to thank Wor. Ken McMillen, PM who graciously
consented to be the Organist at the installation and did a
beautiful job.  We didn't get any pictures of him and I'm sorry for that

 

Preparations begin and the group awaits

Ranch Catering and the Scottish Rite group did a great job
with a nice setup and really good food

Everyone seemed to enjoy the food and friendship


Okay, not so pretty, but it was a cake and tasted good.
We were not aware that the blue food coloring was really strong!!



                                                             The First Lady warned Wor. Achenbach....                               But he didn't listen, and he paid the price...
                                                                     "Don't eat the blue frosting"...

 
 

 

Special thanks and appreciation to Wor. Bryan Meyer, PM.
He was our photographer as in past years and did the same
wonderful job that he always does.
