Murat and Isaiah became Freemasons at Lodge Artarmon United 285 on Thursday, August 24th. The ceremony was a significant moment for both brothers as they began their journey into Freemasonry. The toast to the newly initiated brothers was given by Bro Peter Jones, who highlighted the importance of becoming a Freemason and the significance of addressing fellow members as "brother."

During his toast, Bro Jones commended Murat and Isaiah for their admirable qualities, including unwavering integrity, a strong moral compass, and a willingness to learn. He stressed the weight that the word "brother" carried within the fraternity, emphasizing the bond and mutual respect it represents among Freemasons.

In response to the toast, both brothers expressed their gratitude to the Worshipful Master W Bro Chris Cooper (WM), the District Grand Inspector of Workings, VW Bro Ken Shimizu (DGIW), and all the officers present in the room for their hard work and support. They acknowledged the dedication and excellence shown during the ritual work performed by the newly installed WM and officers.

The DGIW also took a moment to thank the brethren and extended his well wishes to Murat and Isaiah for their Masonic journey ahead. It was evident that the lodge was filled with a sense of unity and encouragement for the new initiates.

To conclude the toasts, the Junior Warden toast was entrusted to Bro Patrick Palmer, who undoubtedly did an outstanding job in delivering his words bringing an end to what was such a spectacular evening in Freemasonry.

The initiation ceremony at Lodge Artarmon United 285 was a memorable occasion, marking the beginning of an enriching experience for Murat and Isaiah. The support and admiration expressed by the WM and the rest of the attendees reflect the inclusive and encouraging nature of Freemasonry. As these new brothers embark on their Masonic journey, they can expect guidance, growth, and the opportunity to contribute to the principles and teachings of the fraternity.

Congratulation to Bro's Murat and Isaiah, we welcome you as Freemasons and may you have many wonderful years in the craft.
