On March 22, 2022, Brother Ethan Carswell became SW Hackett lodge's newest Entered Apprentice Mason.  Brother Carswell was obligated an Entered Apprentice Mason by Worshipful Dennis Stahr, PM, Master.  Worshipful Clint Black, PM, delivered the lecture and Worshipful David Haslim, PM, delivered the charge.

Ethan received a great degree and it was well due.  He expressed the desire to be a Mason over two years ago, but because of the virus and problems with the Scottish Rite building, he had to wait.  Finally his desire and excitement was rewarded as he was initiated an Entered Apprentice Mason.  It was good to now refer to him as Brother instead of Mister.  We all congratulate Ethan and welcome him to S.W. Hackett lodge and to the fraternity.
