During the October stated meeting, the Masons of Carson Valley Lodge No. 33 of Gardnerville recognized their past masters. There were 13 past masters present.
A past master has served his lodge as worshipful master for a minimum of one year. Each must serve their respective lodges in other elected and appointed offices for several years before they can hold the office of worshipful master. Once their elected year has ended, they assume the honorary title of past master and serve the lodge in other appointed positions or as an adviser.
Of the 13 past masters present, Charles A. (Chuck) Barrett was the earliest master on record having served Carson Valley Lodge as worshipful master in 1962. There have been 91 worshipful masters to serve Carson Valley Lodge since approval of its charter in 1914.
Carson Valley Lodge meets the third Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m. For information, please call 783-3444.
