I
was delighted to attend the Grand Installation of the new Grand
Master of the Grand Lodge of South Australia and the Northern
Territory, Most Worshipful Brother Stephen Michalak. This was the
first Australia and New Zealand Grand Installation since Victoria’s in
March 2014. The delegation of Victorian Freemasons comprised 50
Freemasons together with their partners as one of the largest if not
the largest interstate delegation. A series of events was conducted
from Friday through to Sunday, all of which were very welcoming
and enjoyable. In addition to this wonderful delegation, the toast
(one of the best I’ve heard) to the new Grand Master was proposed
by our own Brother Felix Pintado – Chief Executive, Royal Freemasons
(our Homes), whose friendship goes back to when they were each in
their early twenties. A number of us are looking forward with great
anticipation to the Grand Installation events in New South Wales and
the Australian Capital Territory which will take place in early August.
Other Victorian Grand Officers not in Adelaide attended the Grand
Installation of Most Eminent Companion Peter Crick as the new First
Grand Principal of the Supreme Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of
Victoria. I congratulate the First Grand Principal together with his
co-Grand Principals and Grand Officers on their Installation and wish
them every success in the coming year. I look forward to continuing
the close association we enjoy with Supreme Grand Chapter.
As this issue of the Newsletter goes to press, the Centenary of ANZAC Day will be commemorated. It is
customary that the Grand Master lays a wreath at the Shrine of Remembrance as part of the day’s program and
this year will be no exception. This part of the service commences at 8.15am.
ANZAC Day, originally a commemoration of the landing of Australian and New Zealand forces at Gallipoli on
the 25th of April 1915, has grown to become perhaps the most important national day in Australia. In addition
to recognising the service and sacrifice of all Australians who have served in war or on peacekeeping operations
ANZAC Day has become core to the identity of Australia itself, a day on which Australians reflect on the ANZAC
spirit and its place in Australia today.
416,809 Australians enlisted to serve in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF). This accounted for 38.7 per cent of
the Australian male population aged between 18 and 44. In Victoria 114,000 enlisted, 89,000 served overseas
and 19,000 did not return home.
Lest We Forget.
MWBro. Hillel Benedykt
Grand Master
ANZAC DAY 25 April 2015
Dawn Service
On the 100th Anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, join
millions across the world to honour Australian service
and sacrifice. One minute of silence will be observed.
It is recommended that visitors assemble on the Shrine
Forecourt between 4am - 5am.

Riding for a great cause
T
News
he boys from the
Victorian Freemasons
Cycling Club were
out in force on Sunday 19
April for the MS Society
Melbourne Cycle Challenge!
Rain, hail or shine, nothing
was going to stop the team
from completing the 50 km
ride from one side of the city
to the other.
Participants Basel Alogaidi,
Malcolm and Milton Mann,
Cyril Land and Darren Hill donned the square and compasses jerseys and
took off from Princes Park, rode through the Docklands to Albert Park,
peddled up to Footscray and wound their way back to Carlton North
through North Melbourne.
Darren Hill, Cyril Land, Milton and
Malcolm Mann at the start line, ready
for the big ride.
The team, from Diamond Valley Lodge and Wodonga Lodge had
collectively raised a whopping $3084 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society,
through individual donations and contributions from other Lodges.
Team Captain for the event, Malcolm Mann said that despite the weather,
it was a great ride.
“The Team are very proud to wear the square and compasses jerseys
today. It’s more than just a ride, it gives us purpose and great exposure for
Freemasons Victoria,” Malcolm said.
Milton Mann and Cyril Land enter the
half-way point rest stop oin good form.
Freemasons Victoria Communications Manager, Gabrielle Forman met the
Team at the half-way rest stop to cheer the boys on.
“It was great to see the boys so dedicated. They’d made it to the half-way
point unscathed, and were keen to continue the last leg of the challenge,”
she said.
The MS Melbourne Cycle Challenge is hosted every year, and since 2007,
has been fundraising to providing services and support for Australians
affected by this baffling and debilitating disease. Multiple Sclerosis is
a disease of the central nervous system affecting more young adult
Australians than any other neurological condition. Approximately four
Australians are diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis every day, equating to
more than 1000 new diagnosis every year.

Freemasons provide crisis relief funding
F
riday the thirteenth can be quite lucky for some! On that day
in March a presentation of $11,100 was made to 4C’s (Cardinia
Combined Churches Caring), a Church based emergency relief
organisation working within and for the residents of the Shire of
Cardinia.
This money was donated as a result of the efforts of Freemasons Victoria’s
Peter Lees of Gippsland Forest Lodge and Darren Spargo of Pakenham
Lodge who were sponsored to undertake a bike ride. Their donation was
then equalled by the Freemasons Foundation.
Installation at Baxter
Lodge No. 934
The Installation of the Worshipful
Master of Baxter Lodge No. 934
took place on Monday 6 April
2015 when WBro. Johan Heinrich
Zylstra was installed in the Chair
of King Solomon.
The Proclaiming Officer was
VWBro. Mark Eadon PGDC.
News
Freemasons Foundation Victoria Director, VWBro. David Gibbs was on
hand to present the cheque to the CEO of 4C’s, Pastor Don Press.
“The Crisis Relief Centre sees up to 250 people a day, either for
emergency relief, emergency housing, family counselling, financial
counselling, no-interest loans and food parcels”, Don said.
Being totally reliant on gifts and grants this money will go a long way
to assist in the funding of the centre and is just another example of
Freemasonry’s ideals, brotherly love, relief and being out there in the
wider community.

Portland Secondary Students benefit from
re-engagement program
P
ortland Secondary College recently received a cheque for $10,000
from the Portland Lodge and the Freemasons Foundation, to go
towards the College’s Re-engagement Program.
The program, which has been running since 2011, has been set up to
support young people who are, for various reasons, struggling within
main stream education.
News
Chairman of the Portland Lodge Community Project Committee, Ian
Berry, said that the contribution to the school was invaluable.
“Some of the students in the program have been bullied and taken out of
school for home schooling. The re-engagement program enables them
to resume their education pathway in an environment free of judgement.
Students who have completed the program often go on to continue their
studies at University”, Ian said.
Portland College Principal Toni Burgoyne was recently quoted in the
Portland Observer, “Funding is allocated to employ a student welfare
coordinator and a literacy and numeracy Assistant”, she said.

IntroFishies!!
L

No. 1 with a little help
from the immediate
past Maroondah District
Coordinator WBro. Graham
Dines, recently donated
$400 to IntroFish.
News
Introfish provides fishing
excursions for people
with disabilities. The
organisation is Victoria’s
only dedicated boat and
land based fishing service
for those with special
needs.
It provides rehabilitation

with carers, coordinators,
therapists and parents using various methods of fishing to work with
motor skills, including hand-eye coordination and muscle and reflex
movements.
The donation was made after Paul Bennett, Founder and President of
IntroFish visited the Lodge and gave a very inspiring talk about the
rehabilitation and therapeutic benefits of sailing for those with an
intellectual disability.
Paul talked about his journey, and that in 2002 his third child was born
with Cerebral Palsy. He said that he was confident he could teach him
fishing, as he had taught fishing for many years, but his son passed away
several weeks later.
In a huge effort to turn this tragedy
around, Paul developed IntroFish,
which since its inception, has become
very popular. The business came to a
halt though when expansion became
impossible without a good sized
boat. The only option at the time was
to purchase a used boat and have it
repaired to make it seaworthy.
No one would have ever expected
Paul’s turn of bad luck, but the vessel
was stolen one evening when the boat
repair shop was broken into. Paul’s
boat has never been seen since.
With the on-going support from
community organisations and
individuals, Paul Bennett has continued
to run IntroFish, at $500 a trip, which
includes the hire of a boat plus a
barbecue lunch. He is also finally in a
position to purchase another boat, so
as to continue to provide this much
needed service to the public.
For all your personal and business legal needs.

Masonic Unique Vehicles Group visits the
Alma Dopel!
T
he Mason Unique Vehicles Group recently visited the ‘Alma Doepel’
Sailing Ship restoration project. Members braved hectic city traffic to
experience the history and activities of the 112 year old vessel.
The Alma Dopel operated as a supply ship to various military facilities
during WWII, one of these trips skippered by one of the MUV Group
members (the then Sgt.) Max Schey.
News
Bro. Graeme and Val Webb and members of the restoration support
group were pleased to receive a cheque presented by our MUV Group
member MWBro. John Evans on behalf of the Group.
The donation will assist with the purchase of a very robust plank which
will form part of the hull of the restored craft. The MUV Group’s name will
appear on an Honour Board, which will be positioned aboard the ship.

from a visiting Past Deputy Grand Master

manner strikingly similar to that carried
out in Masonic Temples across Victoria
every week. You will hear a spoken ritual which would strike chords of
recognition, and familiar oaths being taken. You will find a Master and his
wardens, and deacons leading a candidate around the Lodge, and you
would recognise signs and symbols.
The Ceremony of the Vacant Chair
will be performed by members
of the Admiral Collingwood
Lodge No. 13 on Tuesday 28
April at 7:30pm.
Very little is known of the origins of
the Hung Society. Scholars credit the
Buddhist patriarch Hwui Yin with
founding the order in 386 AD. There
are similarities in the Hung ritual with
those of ancient Egyptian mystery
schools, but this does not necessarily
infer that the society evolved from
Egypt. Perhaps both go back further in
time to a common ancestor.
Similar to Freemasonry, the society

has a three fold purpose - teaching
morality and brotherly love; using allegory to
demonstrate the life and death of man; and to give instruction regarding
a mystical journey through the underworld to paradise and the holy place
of the Gods. These three purposes and the fact that the triangle plays an
important part in the ritual caused the society to become generally known
as the Triad Society. (Triad meaning a group or union of three).
This presentation was compiled by Bro. Raymond Copley after many years
of extensive research and is a fascinating look at another fraternal society
with so many similarities to Freemasonry. Unfortunately Bro. Raymond was
unavailable to deliver the presentation himself.
Hosted by Bro. Yuri Kurmanei,
the Ceremony will be held at
the Ivalda Masonic Centre in

Kumano Kodo Walk for Cancer 2016
M
any members would know that Communications Manager,
Gabrielle Forman is about to take on one of the biggest challenges
of her life - the Kumano Kodo Walk for Cancer, in Japan.
The eight day walk, hosted by Epworth Hospital, follows a series of ancient
pilgrimage routes and sacred trails through the dense forests of the Kii
Mountains overlooking the Pacific Ocean between the historical capital
cities of Kyoto and Nara.
News
All proceeds raised from the excursion will go towards the Epworth
Oncology Ward, to assist the thousands of cancer patients who continue
to receive care at Epworth Hospital.
FMV Communications Manager,
Gabrielle Forman.
Gabrielle has established a sponsorship campaign, an ‘Everyday Hero’
website, https://kumanokodo2016.everydayhero.com/au/gabrielle
She now needs your help to make sure she reaches her goal! I strongly
encourage each Lodge to consider donating the proceeds of one of their
Lodge raffles to this very worthy cause.
Gabrielle wil be seeking dollar
for dollar support from the
Freemasons Foundation for all
contributions made by Lodges.
The total cost for the trip is
$5790 of which $2500 is tax
deductible. Every dollar you
donate equals every step
Gabrielle will take in being able
to give something back to those
in need.
Participating with a group from
the Epworth Hospital, Gabrielle
said the trek is a challenge she is
determined to conquer.
“The Kumano Kodo Walk for Cancer will be a once in a lifetime
opportunity to experience the kind of team camaraderie, the enormous
sense of achievement in raising funds for charity, and the accomplishment
at having conquered a physically demanding overseas trek,” she said.
Cancer is the leading cause of death in Australia, and another 128,000
new cases are diagnosed every year. A cancer diagnosis is truly frightening
so you need to know that you can get the best possible care, and that is
exactly what this trek helps Epworth provide.

Therapeutic Robot Seal
2015 Appeal
A Royal Freemasons initiative focussing
on delivering a better quality of life for
customers with Dementia.
Royal Freemasons seeks
your support to buy Therapeutic
Robot Seals for our dementia
aged care customers.
These are some the first therapeutic
robotic seals to arrive in Australia. They
will allow the documented benefits of
animal therapy to be experienced by Royal
Freemasons residents across Victoria.
The purchased baby seals will be part of
a research study to understand how they
can improve quality of life for residents
and caregivers.
The robotic pet has five kinds of sensors:
tactile, light, audition, temperature,
and posture sensors, with which it can
perceive people and its environment. By
interaction with people, it responds as if it
is alive, moving its head and legs, making
sounds, and showing the user’s preferred
behaviour.
The robot provides the benefits of animal
therapy to people in facilities.
Some of the benefits are:
• Reduce customer stress and their caregivers
• Stimulates interaction between customers
and caregivers
• Psychological effect on customers, improving
their relaxation and motivation
• Improves the socialisation of customers
with each other and with caregivers
The financial support required to purchase
the therapeutic robots is just one of the
initiatives Royal Freemasons has committed
to in its continuing efforts to help its
aged care customers.
Your donation means a
great deal to our customers.
Yes, I/we would like to make a donation to the

No matter how small or large, everyone
who contributes to the Royal Freemasons
