Your Lodge Won--and We are Humbled

We were shocked and so humbled to find out that the Chico-Leland Stanford Lodge No. 111's website was named the winner of the Grand Lodge of California's Annual Communication. The Lodge Communications Awards recognize lodges that are doing an extraordinary job of connecting with their members and the general public through various traditional and innovative communication tools.

Your web site was an inspiration to us, and we very much enjoyed reading it. It is exactly the type of public outreach style that Masonry needs, rather than being to ‘insider’ in its approach. We were so impressed with its sophisticated style, that we have decided to copy it for the new lodge website templates Grand Lodge will be providing lodges that require websites using Wordpress. Keep up what you are doing, because it works!
— Emily Limon, Vice President for Communications

We only entered to get feedback from Grand Lodge on what we should do to our website to make it better never thinking it was that good. We are humbled. A big Thank You to our designer, Thomas Thackery of Go Gassamer Web Design, Bros. Steve Catterrall PM, Matt Cherrington Master, and Darrel Hunter PM who green lighted this project last December 2015.

In addition Bro. Ryan Hyland, our treasurer, was awarded Special Recognition for Completion of All Lodge Management Certification Program Courses in 2016. He completed all four courses of the Lodge Management Certification Program – Hall Association Management, Lodge Finance, Membership Experience, and Lodge Administration – including successful scores on each final exam. Congratulations Ryan!
