Lodge Le Progres de l’Oceanie recently hosted its annual Past Masters’ Night at the breathtaking Altitude@37 in the Hilton Waikiki Beach, bringing together brethren, their ladies, and honored guests in a celebration of leadership and legacy. Set against the stunning backdrop of Waikiki’s golden sunset, the event was a heartfelt tribute to those who have guided the lodge as Masters (Presiding Officers), both past and present.
The evening began with a warm welcome from the current Master of the Lodge, who expressed gratitude to all attendees for coming together to celebrate this special occasion. The night was dedicated to honoring both the living Past Masters, who continue to inspire with their wisdom, and the distinguished gentlemen who have passed on, whose legacies remain integral to the lodge’s identity.
Each Past Master was acknowledged for their invaluable contributions, which have shaped Lodge Le Progres de l’Oceanie into a vibrant community dedicated to the principles of Freemasonry. Their commitment to leadership, charity, and fellowship has left an indelible mark, and this night served as a powerful reminder of their enduring influence.
After the heartfelt tributes, the atmosphere shifted to one of celebration. Guests enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, expertly crafted with local flavors that showcased the culinary delights of Hawaii. The tables buzzed with conversation and laughter as brethren and guests shared stories, memories, and aspirations.
As attendees departed, the smiles on their faces reflected the joy and camaraderie experienced throughout the evening. Past Masters’ Night at Altitude@37 was not just a celebration of the past; it was a reaffirmation of the lodge’s mission and a promise to honor the legacy of those who paved the way.
