The Gun Barrel City Assembly #369 Masonic Youth Rainbow Girls participated in the Installation of Officers for the Science Hill Masonic Lodge #211 in Athens on Friday, July 22. Emily Currey, Nicci Ferguson, and Katie Schaefer escorted the Masons to be installed. Carrie Currey (Sister of Victory, Grand Cross of Color Team, Grand Assembly of Texas, IORG) presented the incoming Worshipful Master, Dennis Currey, with his Bible. Emily Currey was honored to perform the Gavel Ceremony in presenting the new Worshipful Master with his gavel. The Installation was definitely a “family affair”–Carrie and Emily are Mr. Currey’s nieces, and his brother Adam spoke the Benediction.

The other Science Hill Masonic officers for this year’s term are: Kelly Cole, Senior Warden; David Sanderfer, Junior Warden; Roy Liberto, Treasurer; Clyde Kenneaster, Secretary; Carroll Dyson, Chaplain; Bobby Taylor, Senior Deacon; Rob Risko, Junior Deacon; Dale Richards, Master of Ceremonies; and David Williams, Tiler. It was a special honor to see the Most Worshipful Grand Master of Texas, Wendell P. Miller, serve as Installing Officer and Right Worshipful Ed Kirkpatrick serve as Installing Marshall.

Before the Installation Ceremony, a delicious dinner was served by the wives of the Masons.
