Community Builder Award

Community Builder Award

Judy Rorrie of the North Dallas Shared Ministries (NDSM) was this year's recipient of our annual Community Builder Award.  She was joined my many friends and volunteers from NDSM in support of her receiving this award.

Adopted by The Grand Lodge of Texas in January 1991 and regarded as the highest award a Masonic Lodge can present to a non-Mason, the Community Builder Award was established with two objectives:

1.    Give recognition to those who routinely, quietly and without fanfare, demonstrate an uncommon devotion to their community.
2.    Honor those outside of Freemasonry that adhere to Masonic precept, ideals and standards as a function of their daily practice

Our third Pancake Breakfast in honor of our Dallas area Firefighters and Policemen was a huge success.  We easily served over 100 people, with over 60 of those being Dallas area Firefighters and Policemen.

The cooks received MANY accolades on their culinary skills and lodge brethren overall received many praises of gratitude from the Firefighters and Policemen for what we were doing.  We literally ran out of parking space, as well as bacon. :)
