Hill City is kicking off a raffle to benefit the Scottish Rite Dyslexia Center Teacher Certification Program. The raffle will begin in January and run until the latter part of March. All members will be given 20 tickets to purchase and sell. There are (5) very nice prizes. Two pieces of handcrafted jewelry, a Large Screen TV, and two gift cards.

The City of Austin, under the direction of Mayor Lee Leffingwell, hosted a street name change dedication ceremony in honor of our late Past Master, M.E. Gene Johnson. The ceremony took place on August 19 at the corner of Airport Blvd. and Gene Johnson Street( formerly 481/2 street). Gene was very active in the Hill City Lodge No. 456 and the Round Rock Lodge No. 227. The crowd was huge and this was a wonderful day for the City of Austin and the Masons of Texas.
