The event attracted members, their partners, and distinguished guests from across the region, including visitors from South Burnett, Bribie, Mt Pleasant, Pine River, and Caboolture. Notably, the Lodge widows were honoured guests, adding a heartfelt touch to the evening.

The gathering was graced by the presence of the Assistant Grand Master and his team from the United Grand Lodge of Queensland, underscoring the significance of the occasion.

Throughout the past year, the Lodge has focused its fundraising efforts on supporting local organisations, particularly the Kilcoy Rodeo Committee.

This year, the Lodge made several charitable donations, including support for the Kilcoy Christmas Carnival Committee and the Anglican Church Pantry.

Additional contributions were made to the Queensland Blind Institute, the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and an annual award for Kilcoy State High School.
