2011: NEW OFFICERS, NEW ACTIVITIES WHITEFISH BAY, WI The new year brought changes in officers and ideas at George Washington 1776 Lodge.

Worshipful Master, Otto Tesch has appointed two new committees, the Publicity Committee and the Search Committee. The Publicity Committee, headed by Junior Deacon Tyler Kristopeit will be concentrating on defining a Masonic presence in our community as well as developing ideas for increasing membership at the lodge.

Message from the East
Otto Tesch, Worshipful Master Looks like we'll be busy at this lodge in the first half of the year. If we are going to field a team for the degree competition, we'll need to get personnel, and practice. There are still some spots open for the team itself. I would like to have a few extra people to evaluate what the team is doing and possibly suggest improvements. (essentially looking at the team as the Judges will do in the competition.) the actual competition date is April 30 in Madison. There will be special practices on most W ednesdays as well as the regular degree practices on Mondays. There will be Masonic Cinema nights the 5th Tuesdays of March and May. Easter is coming April 24th and that means the Annual Easter Egg Hunt will be April 23rd, with perhaps a pancake breakfast for the early workers. W e will be filling Easter Eggs on April 19tghbefore and after the stated meeting. Bring your wives and significant others for dinner before the meeting and the stuffing will begin. There will be a School of Instruction on March 15th.(closing MM) On May 17th there will be the Ladies at the Table dinner to honor a Woman of the Year. I am still looking for candidates for the award. If you know of someone appropriate let me know. In June the Grand Lodge meets in M adison on June 10 and 11 and all officers and members are encouraged to attend.
From the Secretary’s Desk I would like to thank all of the Brethren for the dues sent in so far. We are close to having 100% membership dues paid. If you don’t have your green 2011 dues card, please call the Worshipful Master or Secretary. Congratulations to B r. William Hutchins; raised to Master Mason on the first Tuesday of January and appointed to Junior Steward the following Saturday! Dave Haase, PM Secretary

Excelsior lodge #175
Excelsior Lodge No. 175 In December 1868 Thirty six Master Masons organized the first lodge outside downtown Milwaukee. At that time it was proposed to name the new Lodge after A.V.H. Carpenter who was president of Milwaukee relief Lodge #1. Carpenter suggested Excelsior and the name was adopted. Excelsior first met at Southside Hall and other meeting places including the Odd Fellows Hall, Druid Hall, and the National Building among them. In December 1917 the Excelsior Masonic Temple association was formed for the purpose of finding a site and building a new Masonic Temple. A site was found at 2422 W. National Ave. and the corner stone was laid on May 20th, 1923. At the Temple dedication, Over 2000 Masons marched from the old Meeting site on 5th & National to the new one. Besides Excelsior #175, Excelsior #40 Royal Arch Masons and Galilee Co mma nd er y # 3 8 Knights Templar occupied the building until it was sold in 1996. At that time Excelsior Lodge moved into the Lake Masonic Center and merged with Lake Lodge in May 2009. Today the old Temple is occupied by the Life Restoration Church. Though they have been removed you can still see the outlines of the Square
and Compasses above the front doors and roofline. The window sash and front doors on National Avenue form geometric patterns. If you look closely you can see that these patterns form a series of Square and Compasses. Excelsior Lodge was known as a significant contributor of funds to local charities and in 1999 they started the excelsior Tool Grant Program. Apprentices in the building trades can apply the program and grants are given out in December. Lake Lodge continues this program today.

At and About the Lodge MM Degree at GW1776 On January 4, 2011, the first Tuesday of the new year, Br. William Hutchins was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason. His commitment and dedication has been obvious from his first posting as an Entered Apprentice. Regularly attending stated meeting dinners, Br. William launched himself into the role of steward, assisting the actual Stewards in setting up and cleaning up after. As a reward for his faithful service, William was appointed to the position of Junior Steward among 2011 officers and was installed in that position a mere 4 days after being raised! Congratulations to our newly raised brother!

A visit to Wilmot Lodge by Chuck Carroll
While waiting for the Installation of Officers ceremony to begin, I was approached by big Bill Shelly, a brother I had met at the Joint Table Lodge in September, 2010. He told me about a brother at Wilmot Lodge who was unable to work because of an accident and that the lodge was hosting a spaghetti dinner fundraiser to help the brother out. Big Bill handed me a card with the information on it and strongly urged me to attend. You should know, when Big Bill strongly urges you, then you comply. Besides, my wife, Barb, and I had wanted to make the trip eventually because her great-grandfather, Alfred Grendon Pacey, was the first EA in the Wilmot Lodge and had been Master there five times. We had met a brother from Wilmot Lodge in the Fall when we were at the Burlington Lodge attending CAV (Certified Adult Volunteer) training for Job’s Daughters. That brother told us that the lodge didn’t have a picture of Alfred Pacey and we promised to get one to him. I mentioned the spaghetti dinner in lodge and our venerable Tiler, Brother Jim, gave me a large sum of money to take down there. The card said that the event was on Sunday, January 30, 2010 from 4pm-8pm. On the night of the event, Barb had to work, but she got off at 6pm which made us believe we could still make it. It was a long drive. It was dark and not the best weather. When we finally arrived at 7:40, thinking we still had enough time, we were met inside the dining room by brothers and some wives who told us that we were too late. Barb and I stood in the doorway and a brother stood between me and the stairway on my right. The tables in the dining room were empty and chairs were stacked on some and a couple of wives stood on our left with their coats on like they were getting ready to leave. Directly in front of us was the kitchen. It was opened up with counters surrounding it, sort of like a peninsula. A couple of brothers were in the kitchen cleaning up and a couple more stood between us and the kitchen counter. “It was over at seven o’clock,” one brother said. “But the card said eight.” I told him. “Let me see it.” “I didn’t bring it.” “It was over at seven o’clock,” “Who’s supposed to take the money?” I asked. I still thought I should give them the donation that Jim had given me. “That would be me.” The bother on my right said. I counted out Jim’s money and then matched it with my own. I told them who I was and that we had come from Milwaukee. One of the brothers said, “Well, we can give you a piece of cake you can take home with you.”
Then Barb announced that we had come with a picture of their past master who was her great-grandfather and the brother said, “In that case, you can have cake and a hug!” The two ladies took off their coats and the brothers gathered around to see the 8x10 photo we brought of Alfred Pacey and his wife. They went to the wall of past masters’ pictures and there was a picture of Alfred Pacey we had never seen before. “I thought you didn’t have a picture of him,” I said. “We found one.” While we looked at the pictures, Mike Wood, the Master of the lodge, asked me if I’d like a tour to which I said I would. “Eat first,” he said. I looked over at one of the tables and there was a big steaming plate of spaghetti. Someone brought another plate over and told us to sit down and eat. “I thought it was over.” I said wryly. “We had some left over.” Barb and I stuffed ourselves while Mike’s son and Lodge Chaplain, Brian, told us that their lodge raised 12 brothers last year and already initiated eight EAs in the month of January. After we ate, we toured the old building which was once an Opera House. We climbed the stairs to the lodge room which still showed the age of the structure in decorative sconces thrusting from the wall. When we were ready to go they loaded us up with cake and donuts to take with us. Their warmth and love for us was palpable. And as we drove away in the cold night, Barb and I felt like we had just been visiting family, like cousins we had heard about, but had never taken the time to visit until then. Have you taken the time to visit your Masonic Family lately?

the smallest details in Masonic ritual work.
On February 20, 2007, Bill Huegel was named “Man of the Year,” at GW1776. I remember how disappointed I was that I could not get out of the kitchen the entire evening to get pictures or even a few words to put in the Surveyor. I had only been a Mason for a little over a year at that time, but I had already developed a fondness for Brother Bill. His signature bow-tie and suspenders showed his down to earth personality. While I didn’t know him long, or even well, I know that as long as I am involved with Freemasonry, I will continue to pass on his lessons to those who follow after me.

I submitted plans to build a deck on my house in Glendale in order to secure a permit. Bill treated me fairly and made an impression on me. The next time I met him was when I came to petition the lodge to become a Mason. For all those things he was to others, to me he was a stickler for doing proper ritual. He taught me how to properly hold a rod, taught me how to stand in the West, and how important it is to pay attention to

$1909 Donated to Shrine Hospitals for Children at Chinese New Year Celebration at Tripoli
Seven Lions Dance for Luck, Health and Prosperity MILWAUKEE, WI February 19th , 2011 the Tripoli Shrine held a Celebration of the Chinese New Year with a 10 course Chinese Banquet hosted by the newly elected Potentate, Jeff Schwarz and his lady, Wendy. The night’s entertainment, a traditional Chinese Lion Dance and Kung Fu demonstration was furnished by the Whitefish Bay Kung Fu Club whose Sifu is Chuck Carroll, Junior Warden of George Washington 1776 Lodge No. 337.
Over 300 guests attended, making the event a huge success. The first lion dance consisted of a single gold lion played by John Slawinski and Giles Goetz. They performed several difficult tricks, eventually plucking the greens which they tossed into the crowd. After a brief but exciting kung fu demonstration, the Potentate was called up to assist in a Hoi Gong or Lion Awakening Ceremony, which is a sacred ritual to awaken the spirit of the celestial lion in a new lion costume that had never been danced. Inside the awakening lion were kung fu students, Henry Zhang and Sammy Mahnke, each seven years old. When the little lion awoke, it was joined by six other lions and together they swept through the audience, gathering lai see, red envelopes filled with cash donations from each of the tables. The Shrine prepared a $200 donation in the lai see that was picked up in the greens of the first lion dance which, added to the donations collected on the spot totaled $859. To this the Whitefish Bay Kung Fu Club added all the contributions they had collected since Chinese New Year began on February 4, 2011 to make a total of $1909 which they presented at the end of the program to be donated to the Shrine Hospitals for Children Charity.
