Benjamin Franklin Award of Distinction
Each year, Blue Lodges around the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction (NMJ) rededicate themselves to the ongoing work of Freemasonry. The Supreme Council Strategic Planning Committee has developed a distinguished recognition that Valleys can present to lodges that are celebrating significant milestones.
Known as the Benjamin Franklin Award of Distinction, it can be presented to any lodge in the NMJ to recognize 50 years of service and 25-year increments thereafter. The plaque has a raised design and features the image of Brother Benjamin Franklin, the double-headed eagle of the Scottish Rite, the square and compasses, and the following quote in brass lettering:
"Masonic labor is purely a labor of love. The wages of a Mason are earned and paid in their dealings with one another; sympathy that begets sympathy, kindness begets kindness, and these are the wages of a Mason." — Benjamin Franklin
Valley Secretaries can submit requests for this award at srnmj.us/FranklinAward. Please allow 6-8 weeks lead time for production and delivery.
