On January 19th members of Caribou Masonic Lodge were surrounded by their family and friends to celebrate a good year gone by and the installation of the 2013 Lodge officers.

At 7:00 pm following a benediction given by RW Neal Haines and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, the outgoing Master David Spooner welcomed everyone and had a few opening remarks. The lodge observed a moment of silence while a candle was lit and the tolling of the bell as the names were read for the three members who had passed in the last year. The 2012 officers were then retired and the floor was given to the District #1 Installation Team, lead by the District Deputy Grand Master Robert Hancock. The evening’s ceremony was concluded with a few presentations, comments and the New Master leading his new officers in the closing of the Lodge. Following installation, all gathered in the lodge’s dining room for food and refreshment.
