CENTRAL JERSEY — One of the oldest Masonic lodges in New Jersey, Atlas Pythagoras Lodge 10 F. & A.M. of Westfield, was the only lodge in New Jersey to win the 2010 Mark Twain Award.
This national award is presented by the Masonic Service Association of North America to lodges that demonstrate exemplary work in promoting Masonic awareness in the community and within the fraternity.
Freemasons are the oldest and largest fraternity in the world, with six million members around the world, two-and-a-half million in the United States, and 25,000 in New Jersey. “We help make good men better,” said Mohamad Yatim, Worshipful Master 2010 of the Atlas Pythagoras Lodge.
Masons are men at least 21 years old who have good moral character and believe in a Supreme Being. “It’s not a religion, and it’s not a substitute religion,” Yatim said.
