Worshipful Brother George Hamilton (center) has received two distinguished honors as of late. First, he has been named Senior Grand Warden of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. Second, he has been elected to serve as an active member of the Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, in August. Worshipful Brother Hamilton was raised in Alpha Lodge in 1984 and served as Master from 1987 to 1989. He was appointed to the office of Grand Standard Bearer by M.W. Jeffrey B. Hodgdon in 2007 and currently serves on the Grand Lodge Board of Directors. He served as the Most Wise Master of Mount Olivet Chapter of Rose Croix from 2014 to 2017 and was created a Sovereign Grand Inspector General, 33°, Honorary Member of the Supreme Council in August of 2017. George is a member of the York Rite bodies as well, and has been elected to receive the degrees in St. Bernard Commandery #12.
We wish Brother Hamilton the best of luck on his new appointments and his bid for Senior Grand Warden, and we offer him our full support. Please join us in congratulating our distinguished brother.
Congratulations to Alpha's Erik Marks whose work appeared in this month's Southern California Research Lodge's "Fraternal Review" alongside the work of Right Worshipful Michael Jarzabek, our Past Senior Grand Warden. This edition, "The Force and the Dark Side," explores the antithesis of the "Light" we so often refer to in Freemasonry. This edition is a follow-up to their December 2017 issue, "The Force and the Light," with articles that explore these themes but also draw comparisons to those themes within the Star Wars "Legend." Thanks to both Brothers Marks and Jarzabek for their work and congratulations for the recognition of such work.

Alpha Lodge will warmly welcome the District Deputy Grand Master for the 15th Masonic District, North, Right Worshipful Danny Vogel and his suite of officers and guests at our regular communication on Monday, October 28, 2019, for an Official Visit. The evening will start with dinner in our usual fashion. Will will open on the first degree and will confer the first degree upon one worthy man. We hope you will join us.

Right Worshipful Brother Vogel was raised and is an active member in United Brethren Lodge, which was instituted 1859, in the town of Marlborough, Massachusetts. United Brethren Lodge is presently under the guidance of Worshipful Daren A. Nowlan, Master.
On Saturday, September 22, Waltham celebrated its 135 anniversary as a city, bringing back the Waltham Day Parade after a 29-year hiatus, and heading that parade were recognizable Alpha Lodge members.
Worshipful Craig Rothman was seen carrying the Aleppo Shriners' banner as part of the , seen on the right just in front of the Arab Patrol, the oldest marching unit, which was instituted in 1885, a mere 9 years after Alpha Lodge was chartered.
We also saw the Potentate himself, Right Worshipful Rob Havener, Past Master of Alpha Lodge, Past DDGM for the 15N Masonic District, and sitting Treasurer for Alpha Lodge. Worshipful Adam Marks was in attendance as a Waltham resident (and Shriner), and his wife and daughter marched with the Center for Creative Movement.
Whether you are a Shriner or not, the Potentate has declared that any Mason may attend and march in or ride in the parade with the Shriners, and we encourage members of Alpha to join in the fun. You can visit the Aleppo Shrine's website for more information or read more to see remaining parade dates in October.
