Prince Edwin-Spring Creek Lodge

Prince Edwin-Spring Creek Lodge No. 486 was pleased to support Pilgrim DeMolay at a recent meeting that marked the conclusion of Master Councilor Ian Nalepka's term of office. The evening was especially memorable as Ian had the opportunity to initiate four new young men into the Order of DeMolay.

DeMolay provides young men with opportunities to develop leadership skills, build strong friendships, and learn the importance of service, responsibility, and character. As Freemasons, we recognize the value of investing in our youth and encouraging the next generation of leaders.

Representing Prince Edwin-Spring Creek Lodge were Brothers Barry D. Krushinsky, Worshipful Master; William Molchany, Senior Deacon; and W. Bryan Hoover III, P.M., Secretary.

We extend our congratulations to the four newest members of Pilgrim DeMolay and our appreciation to Master Councilor Ian Nalepka for his dedicated service and leadership throughout his term. Thank you to all who continue to support the important work of DeMolay.
