New Honorary Members
At the last stated meeting of the Masonic year, on June 16, two literal and Masonic brothers from Acre Lodge in Israel were made honorary members of Mid-Century Lodge: Nadim Mansour and Souhail Mansour.
RWB Nadim Mansour is the Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge, State of Israel and a 33° Mason. He is also the Grand Representative for the Grand Lodge of Ohio Near the Grand Lodge of Israel and an Active Member, Supreme Council, State of Israel, holding the office of Grand Orator.
WB Souhail Mansour is a Past Master of Acre #36, Acre, Israel and a Past Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge, State of Israel.
The Mansours were introduced to us by our own RWB David McClenahan, who is also the Grand Representative of the Grand Lodge of Israel Near the Grand Lodge of Ohio. The brothers have visited Ohio and the Cleveland area many times over the years, and always find time to join us for a meeting at Mid-Century Lodge. Their stories are always entertaining and not to be missed. It is a great honor for Mid-Century Lodge to call them members.
Here is a story that appeared in the Grand Lodge’s Beacon publication, from when the Mansours visited Grand Lodge:
