On Saturday, November 1st, 2025, Centennial Lodge No. 500 will host a private dinner of rare distinction. This exclusive, invitation-only evening will welcome Most Worshipful Raborn Lovelace Reader, Jr. and his special delegation, including R∴W∴ Lance Kennedy, DDGM District 50, to our Lodge in Austin.

The evening will feature a keynote address by Bro. Josef Wäges, 32°, one of the foremost contemporary Masonic authors and scholars. A distinguished Freemason, Bro. Wäges is a member of Plano Lodge No. 768, Fate Lodge No. 802, the Dallas Valley of the Scottish Rite (SJ), a Fellow of the Grand College of Rites, and a member of multiple Lodges of Research across the United States. He serves as a Board Member of the Scottish Rite Research Society and is a member of the Blue Friars, an honor reserved for notable Masonic writers.

This dinner will be an evening of fellowship, scholarship, and fraternal distinction — an opportunity to engage directly with the Grand Master and some of the brightest lights of contemporary Masonry.
