10th District Picture Page
On November 1, 2008, the officers of the 10th District conferred all three degrees during a special
One-Day Class.  45 new Masons were raised to the degree of Master Mason representing all the lodges
of the District.  In addition, 7 new Masons were made out of Alpha Lodge #116 from the 8th District.  The
degree work was some of the best ever done and a wonderful time was had by all.
During the One-Day Class, RW Charles H. Hoens, DDGM presented RW Raymond H. Carroll, DRI and the
Master's of the 10th District, their individual plaques showing that their lodge and the 10th District was
the best overall Ritual District during 2007.  A wonderful achievement and accomplishment!
