Open Installation, December 2024

We had a quick business meeting to start the evening, then retired downstairs for a delicious meal that included Filet Mignon, Chicken, Pasta, Green Beans (of course) and a wide variety of amazing Pastries (that some of us may have had too many of).

Once that was over, the brothers led their families and friends upstairs to Norman Hall where we conducted the Open Installation of the new Officers for 2025.

To start, Brother Hunter Ryan Most, W.M. presented John R. Murawski P.M. with the Joseph I. Pearlstein Memorial Man of the Year Award for his unselfish dedication to our lodge.

After a round of applause, we continued on with the Installation.

Brother Craig M. Applebaum P.M. installed Brother David C. Roseman (Ringo) as the new Junior Warden.

Then Brother Joel H. Rosner installed Brother Craig M. Applebaum P.M. as the new Senior Warden.

And then finally, Brother Hunter Ryan Most, W.M. 2024 installed Brother Joel H. Rosner as Worshipful Master of Shekinah Fernwood, Lodge No. 246 for the ensuing masonic year of 2025.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I know the hour is late. I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me and helped me. I have to say that I have immensely enjoyed my experience in this lodge, and in my time here, and that I'm very pleased to have a chance to give back what has been given to me. As our (soon to be ex) Worshipful Master likes to say, "You get out of this work basically what you give" and I have gotten a great deal out of it, so thank you all.

~ Brother Joel H. Rosner, Workshipful Master 2025
