The past several weeks have been busy at Baylor Lodge No. 1235, filled with new beginnings, fellowship, visitors, outdoor adventures, and opportunities to support one another beyond the Lodge room.

On Saturday, June 27, Baylor Lodge installed its officers for the 2026โ2027 Masonic year. Many family members and friends joined us to support the officers as they accepted the responsibilities entrusted to them for the coming year.
This yearโs installation took a somewhat less traditional approach, centered on meeting one another on the Level, strengthening our group dynamics, and preparing Baylor Lodge for an especially important milestoneโour 100th anniversary this December.

On July 4, approximately 16 members, family members, and friends gathered throughout the afternoon for food, fellowship, and a little Texas heat.
We extend our appreciation to Worshipful Master Jon Spann and Matyastik Tax Service for hosting the celebration. Brother James Newhouse assisted with setup, while WM Spann took command of the grill and served up some very tasty burgers and hot dogs.
Despite the heat, everyone had a great time enjoying good food, conversation, and fellowship beneath a beautiful display of American flags.

Our July stated meeting brought 25 men together, including four visiting Brothers:
Brother Doug Enhelder of Eddy Lodge No. 797
Brother Jim Teal, PM, of West Lodge No. 475
Brother Wes Roberts, PM, of West Lodge No. 475
Brother Chris DeCluitt, PM of Gurley Lodge No. 337 and WM of White Rock Lodge No. 234
We were grateful to have each of them with us.
During the meeting, WM Spann outlined his expectations and vision for the coming year. Senior Warden Reginald R. Parmer also reviewed proper Lodge decorum, helping establish the standards and shared responsibilities that will guide us throughout the year.

On July 11, 12 members, family members, and friends took on the trails of Cameron Park for a morning of exercise and fellowship.
Our route included River Trail, Bat Cave, Baseball Trail, Speedrun, Edge Lookout, and Circle Point. We also made it to Loverโs Leap, where we were able to see Baylor Lodgeโs sign overlooking the river. Some members of the group added an extra challenge by climbing Jacobโs Ladder before everyone made their way back along River Trail.
It was hotโand Cameron Park made sure we earned every stepโbut everyone stayed hydrated, got some good exercise, and enjoyed excellent fellowship along the way. Several members of the group continued the fellowship over lunch afterward.

On July 16, Baylor Lodge Musician Eric Huggins performed with Eric & Thomas Unplugged at Dog Haus.
Worshipful Master Jon Spann and Master of Ceremonies Morgan J. McGee came out to support Brother Huggins and enjoy the performance. Brotherhood does not stop when the Lodge closes, and it is always good to see our members supporting one another in their lives and talents outside Masonry.
From installing a new officer line to sharing meals, welcoming visitors, hiking the trails of Cameron Park, and supporting a Brotherโs performance, the beginning of this Masonic year has already demonstrated the fellowship that makes Baylor Lodge special.
As we prepare to celebrate Baylor Lodge No. 1235โs centennial this December, we remain proud of our history, committed to meeting on the Level, and excited about what lies ahead.
