1999
GRAND MASTER'S AWARD OF EXCELLENCE
Hesperia
is proud to have received Illinois Masonry's top award, the Grand
Master's Award of Excellence, in 1999.
To qualify for
an Award of Excellence Plaque, a lodge must meet seven of fourteen
primary requirements, and seven of the remaining primary or sixteen
secondary requirements. The lodge with the most points statewide
is honored with a Traveling Award, pictured here left, kept until the
results of the succeeding year's competition are announced.
Achieving the
Award of Excellence did not take place in a single year. Ongoing
development of Lodge Officers and a steady increase in program effectiveness
had become a regular habit at Hesperia for several years prior to winning
the award.
During the six
years prior to winning the Award, Hesperia raised forty-seven new Master
Masons, added nine by affiliation or a plural members, and reinstated
one. Adjusting for deaths and suspensions, Hesperia realized
a net gain of twenty-five members for the six year period.
