In commemoration of our 150th anniversary, Yellville Lodge #117 set a stone bench at the Marion County Court House next to the Veterans Memorial. Not only does the bench provide a beautiful reminder of Freemasonry's involvment in our community, it provides a place for those visiting the Veterans Memorial to sit while they look upon the names of those who have bravely served our country. We filled all of the seats we had available and overflowed onto the sidewalks for the dedication of the monument. Thank You all for making this special day a resounding success. Below are posted some pictures of the event. Others will be posted as I get them resized. All are available to anyone who requests them.

Family is an important part of Masonry. Way to go Dad! :)
