The Hiram
Award Committee informed the Master that Wor. William "JR" Knight, PM,
was selected to be honored as the recipient of
the
Hiram Award for 2017. Worshipful JR is truly a dedicated Mason
and continually does all he can to keep Samuel Warren
Hackett Lodge the very best Lodge there is. Because of his
continual work in all phases of Masonry and for showing true devotion
to the craft, the Hiram Award committee selected
Brother JR as deserving of
this prestigious honor. To

Mason, aside from being elected to, and serving as, the Master of his
Lodge. Brother Knight was

the
Lodge even though still working and sometimes long hours. He
served S.W. Hackett Lodge as an officer and was the Master in
2013. He has also been the Master of Temecula/Catalina Lodge in
2002. He is a proud member of the Invisible Lodge and is
currently its International President and Upworthy Master.. The date of the celebration was May 13th, 2017 and many pictures of the event are below.
