February 12, 2019, another important evening in SW Hackett lodge.  Brother Thomas Achenbach became SW Hackett's newest Master Mason.  Brother Achenbach was obligated by Worshipful Dave Haslim, PM, Inspector at Large for District IX who did perfect ritual.  Worshipful Bob Salini delivered his usual amazing 3rd degree lecture and "papa" Achenbach, Worshipful Jim deliver the charge to his son.  From the pictures you can see that there was a great crowd as many Brothers from other lodges attended.  We were honored to have the Grand Master of Prince Hall Masons in attendance and honored as well with Most Worshipful John Heisner, PGM, as Chaplain for the evening.

Brother Tom Achenbach was made a Master Mason with an even greater turnout than his passing to Fellowcraft as the group that attended poses here.
