Centennial Lodge No 53

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT


The history of Centennial Lodge No. 53 Free and Accepted Masons is written as a permanent record of the events that led to its formation and the historical events since its formation to year 2006 that every member of the Lodge will be proud of.

The Worshipful Master acknowledges the efforts of Right Worshipful Brother Frederick W. Pollitt who did the research of all Lodge documents and contributed most of the material that is included in this history; and the efforts of the Secretary, who prepared the final text for printing and publication. The Officers of the Lodge, who are as follows, also helped in this project.
