| It was a busy evening raising two Master Masons, but it was not too busy to welcome a very special guest; President Theodore Roosevelt! Mr. Joe Wiegand entertained one and all with his delightful performance as the 26th president and our lodge's namesake. Mr. Wiegand is currently touring the United States as Theodore Roosevelt culminating in (what would be) President Roosevelt's 150th birthday on October 27th, 2008. To find out more about the tour, a link to his website is listed below. |

Theodore Roosevelt #322 Lodge Secretary, Thomas L. Strong has been named "Lodge Secretary of the Year" by the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin. Tom has been an early adopter of using the "MORI" system for entering Blue Lodge information into the Grand Lodge's "web based" database. With the number of new Master Masons being raised in Roosevelt Lodge, Tom has certainly had his work cut out for him lately. Congratulations to Tom on behalf of Roosevelt Lodge. We are all very proud of him for being recognized and receiving this special award. |

On Saturday, March 29, 2008, Theodore Roosevelt Lodge #322 raised to "the sublime degree of Master Mason", five brethren: David Davis, Nicholas Vukich, Michael Belanger, Kevin Cooper and Sgt. Larry Lange USMC. Starting at 8 a.m. and ending at about 4 p.m. it was a long day, but there was a feeling of self-satisfaction by all involved! The members of Roosevelt Lodge do all their own degree work and this day was no exception. With several more new petitions on file, Worshipful Master John Sage may find it useful to put all these new Master Masons to work -- initiating new candidates! Congratulations to all! |
