Freemason Of The Year

One of my most cherished awards was receiving Freemason Of The Year in 2018.  Free Mason of the Year is an award given to Master Masons who exemplify the highest standards of fellowship, brotherly love, and service to the craft. The award is given in recognition of a Master Mason's conduct and actions during the previous year, which should align with the Masonic principles of faith, hope, and charity.
