Since its inception the Golden Trowel Award continues to be an exciting means for Lodges to recognize and honor distinguished members with an official award from the Grand Lodge of Texas. It is for use by all Texas Lodges. The Golden Trowel is the Lodge’s formal recognition of a Brother for his devoted service to Masonic principles in general or to his Lodge. It is intended for the Brother who, year after year, quietly, but actively demonstrates his devotion to the teachings of Masonry without thought of recognition or special honors.

This year we get to honor, and thank, Jim Rogerson for everything he has done, and continues to do, for us all. The Golden Trowel is the highest award a Lodge can bestow, and it is well deserved. Congratulations, Jim!
