Honoring a Lifetime of Masonic Service
The Masonic Lifetime Achievement Award
The One of 99 Meeting is designed to recognize Brothers selected by their respective Lodges to receive a Masonic Lifetime Achievement Award.
Each Lodge may identify a Brother whose years of dedication, leadership, fellowship, and service exemplify the enduring principles of Freemasonry.
Selected recipients will be recognized before their fellow Master Masons and presented with a framed certificate commemorating their achievement.
A Memorable Evening for Every Attendee
Each attendee will receive one of 300 individually numbered custom commemorative coins.
Each commemorative coin will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
More than 40 door prizes are planned, with each attendee receiving a ticket for a chance to win.
Fellowship on a Grand Scale
Previous attendance at the One of 99 Meeting has exceeded 130 Master Masons and has included the Most Worshipful Grand Master and members of the Grand Line.
Organizers hope to welcome more than 150 attendees in 2026, creating a memorable stated communication filled with fellowship and an opportunity to honor those Brothers whose years of service have strengthened their Lodges and Freemasonry throughout Florida.
Several Lodges are expected to go dark for the evening so their members may attend together, share a meal, participate in the meeting, and help recognize these deserving Masons.
Master Masons Only
