112th Annual Installation

L to R Right Worshipful Brother Walter "Butch" Peelle, Newly Installed Worshipful Master David Moore and Worshipful Brother C. J. Moore Treasurer

David Moore has been elected and installed as Worshipful Master of Dalton Masonic Lodge No. 578. David Moore was installed by Right Worshipful Walter “Butch” Peelle, Past District Deputy, Installing Marshal, C. J. Moore, Part Master Dalton Lodge, Right Worshipful Jeffery Thompson Past District Deputy, Installing Secretary and Right Worshipful Gary W. Cooper, Past District Deputy Installing Chaplin. This 112th annual installation of officers was held December 17, at the Wilmington Masonic Center. In his position as Master, Moore is the presiding officer and head of the Lodge. The title of “Worshipful Master,” instead of “President,” reflects the Masonic tradition of using ceremonies and titles from the stonemasons of the Middle Ages. When the great cathedrals of Europe were being built, the Mason in charge of a building site was referred to as a “master of the work.”
Other officers installed during the ceremony were Mike Roever, Senior Warden, Brian Shidaker, Junior Warden, C. J. Moore, Treasurer, Mike Hibbs Secretary, Cory Pratt, Senior Deacon, Thomas Milburn Junior Deacon, William Grimes, Senior Steward, Douglas Cooper, Junior Steward, Gene Williams, Tyler and Justin Gray, Lodge Trustee.
Freemasonry is the oldest, largest and most widely recognized fraternal organization in the world. Today, there are more than 2 million Freemasons in North America alone.
Charity is an important tenet of the Masonic fraternity. The 115,000 Freemasons in Ohio provide approximately $15 million in charitable giving annually. This year they gave $94,000 in college scholarships, contributed $250,000 to Special Olympics Ohio Summer Games, and funded $70,000 in free training for hundreds of Ohio school teachers to recognize students at non-academic risk. They also provided $12 million in elderly care, and helped many needy Ohio families and individuals through their Charitable Foundation.

Dalton Lodge Congratulates Most Worshipful Grand Master Terry W. Posey

Grand Masters Message

http://www.freemason.com/

The Masons in Ohio are in virtually every community in Ohio. Our 110,000 members belong to over 500 lodges and the Grand Lodge of Ohio is the 2nd largest jurisdiction in the world. They include politicians, astronauts, police officers, firefighters, physicians, laborers and men of every walk of life, bound together by a sacred tie and having a deep sense of belonging to an organization much larger than themselves.  Former Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill said “All politics is local.” Similarly, all Masonry is local. Although the Grand Lodge grants charters to lodges and assures compliance with established regulations, most members are concerned with their local lodges.  Local lodges are the lifeblood of Freemasonry in Ohio. Lodges throughout Ohio support local events, march in parades, grant scholarships, sponsor Little League teams and raise money for the Ohio Masonic Communities, the Special Olympics and the Grand Lodge Charitable Foundation.  As Americans started the westward movement shortly after the forming of this Country, they built churches, schools and Masonic Lodges. Freemasonry has been a part of Ohio before Ohio became a State in 1803. Our Grand Lodge was formed shortly thereafter in 1808. Most of the early leaders in Ohio were active Freemasons.  I urge you to review this website, to ask questions and to learn more about Freemasonry. If you are interested in joining a Masonic Lodge, you need only contact the webmaster, and he will refer you to a Lodge in your area. It is a good time to learn about Masonry and about our members.

May God’s richest blessings continue to support you and your family.

Terry W. Posey
Grand Master of Masons in Ohio
