It is with great pride and joy that we announce the recognition of one of our own. In a ceremony rich with tradition and brotherhood, Brother Carlton Buscemi was honored as the distinguished Mason of the Year by Huachuca Lodge No. 53 on December 17, 2023. This prestigious award was presented by our outgoing Worshipful Brother, Rayna Stanley, during the 66th annual Installation of Officers.

​

The Mason of the Year award is a testament to Brother Buscemi’s steadfast dedication to our Lodge and his exemplary contributions to the principles of Freemasonry. This recognition highlights not only his commitment to our fraternity but also his outstanding service to the local community—a true embodiment of the Masonic values we all strive to uphold.

​

Worshipful Brother Rayna Stanley, in his final act as Worshipful Master, fittingly bestowed this honor upon Brother Buscemi. The ceremony, attended by fellow brethren, family, and friends, was a heartfelt occasion that will be remembered in the history of our Lodge.

​

Brother Buscemi’s unwavering commitment to the core values of Freemasonry—brotherhood, charity, and personal growth—has been an inspiring example to all of us. His receipt of the Mason of the Year award is a reflection of his tireless efforts and the exceptional character he demonstrates within our Lodge.

​

At Huachuca Lodge No. 53, we take immense pride in acknowledging the achievements of our members. Brother Buscemi’s recognition serves as a powerful reminder of the values that lie at the heart of Freemasonry and the dedication shown by its members to bettering themselves and the world around them.
