On the evening of December 13, 2016, Samuel Warren Hackett Lodge gains a new Brother.  We welcome Brother Alejandro Rodriguez as our newest Entered Apprentice.  Brother Rodriguez was obligated an Entered Apprentice Mason by Brother Benjamin Bridges, Senior Warden, who was in the East for the degree.  Worshipful Clint Black, PM,  gave a perfect lecture and Worshipful John Fitch, PM, delivered the charge.
