HISTORY

On February 10, 1932, the late Honorable Floyd Clark 33º organized a lodge of Masons in Irvington, Virginia and named it “Solomon Temple No. 1” and was in operation until 1966, On the 27th day of April 1932, still another lodge was organized and chartered in the name of Land Mark Lodge No. 11, located in Fordham, Virginia and still another lodge was organized by Floyd Clark 33º about the same time in Kilmarnock, Virginia call Banner Star Lodge No. 111. The formulation of these Masonic Lodges eventually necessitated a Grand Lodge, thus in 1936 The Most Worshipful Hiram Grand Lodge Jurisdiction of Virginia came into being with Floyd Clark 33 degree being elected as its first Grand Master.

  • LEADERSHIP

    Leadership is the ability of an individual or a group of individuals to guide members of an organization. In simple words, leadership is about taking risks and challenges to motivate others to achieve something new and better, to make good Men and Women better by giving them the tools of Knowledge to achieve.

  • CHARITY

    Charity starts from the heart, volunteering your time to assist those that are in need. Charity can also be love. As long as your doing it from the heart and not for political gain. We were taught that we should give food to the hungry, shelter to those who have none, and clothes to the poor.

  • BROTHERHOOD

    When you have good people come together in unity and work together and be on one accord, nothing but divine greatness will come from it. Bonding, loving, caring, socializing and learning together are all attributes of our organization.
