On Dec. 18th, 2022, Widows Sons Lodge held their annual installation of officers. 

With hundreds of Masons in attendance, Banjoe Ventura was installed as the Worshipful Master of 2023.

“I will not tell you or make promises of what we are going to do this year, because we do not make promises, we take actions. As Master of this lodge, I will not ask you to stand in front of me or behind me, but I will ask you to stand side by side with me to conquer all the trials and test we are about to face. With us working as one, nothing is impossible”- WM Banjoe Ventura

WM Banjoe Ventura seating in the East marks the beginning of rebuilding, reengagement and commitment to the lodge. With his line up of officers, Widows Sons Lodge 869 will go back to the basics of Masonry and promote brotherhood and collaboration with neighboring lodges, cities and community.
