At the recent September Meeting of the Bendigo Sovereign Chapter No.32, the chapter experienced a moment of celebration and recognition. V∴Ill∴Bro. Neil Nyholm 33°, serving as Deputy, had the honour of presenting diplomas to three new members, welcoming them into the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite family.

This special occasion also included the presentation of a 25-Year Service Certificate to Ill. Bro. David Beagley 31°, the Chapter’s dedicated Secretary. His quarter-century of service reflects both his unwavering commitment to Freemasonry and the vital role he has played within the Bendigo Sovereign Chapter.

A Memorable Gathering

Looking to the Future

With the addition of new members and the recognition of established leaders, the Bendigo Sovereign Chapter continues to grow in strength and unity. The chapter’s commitment to fostering brotherhood and promoting the values of the Scottish Rite is evident in the dedication of its members.

Congratulations to Ill. Bro. David Beagley on his 25 years of service, and a warm welcome to the new members of Bendigo Sovereign Chapter No.32. The future looks bright as we continue to build on the strong foundation of tradition and fraternity.
