2007 Ill. Walter E. Webber Class Masonic Leadership Institute

On the weekend of September 7-9th 2007 the Ill. Walter Ernest Webber class of the Masonic Leadership Institute met for their second weekend of instruction.  This weekend was  full of enthusiasm, hard work and Brotherly Love. The Saturday evening banquet had a last minute change. The planned guest speaker was unable to make the commitment and left that evening?s function without any source of entertainment.  Team Advisor, Brother Cailte Kelley saved the evening by bringing his equipment which included a keyboard.  He gave a truly entertaining, impromptu performance that we all enjoyed.  During this performance several Brothers walked to the stage and tipped Brother Kelley. This comical gesture of appreciation continued with other Brothers. Soon the basket overflowed and a second one was started.  Brother Kelley in true Masonic fashion graciously thanked the Brethren present for their generosity and suggested that the funds should be donated.  This led to Team Freedom becoming the lucky recipient. 

This truly warm, Masonic and generous evening rendered a total contribution to Team Freedom?s Masonic Troop Support Program of $1,050.00.
