Brother Nalinkant Chhaganbhai Patel
W. Bro Peter Gledhill PGStdB has sent in this good news item.
Bro Nalin was Initiated in Lodge of Nairobi No 7187 on 5th October 1972 and when he left Kenya he relocated to the Middlesex area. After some visits to Boston Manor Lodge No 7151, he very much enjoyed our company and became a Joining member on Friday, 8th May 1998.
At the meeting of the Lodge on Friday 12th May 2023, the Visiting Officer, W Bro Martin Lantree presented him with his 50-year Certificate in Freemasonry, and was duly congratulated on this important achievement. The Lodge then stood and heartily applauded Bro Nalin for this achievement.
It is the custom of this Lodge to offer Honorary membership to any Brother with outstanding service or having achieved 50 years in Freemasonry. Bro Nalin will be celebrating his 94th Birthday in June this year, so to carry on the Lodge tradition Bro Nalin was duly elected an Honorary member of the Lodge. Many congratulations on this wonderful masonic landmark.
