On the evening of Thursday, May 1, 2003 Longmeadow Lodge was pleased to receive the Pioneer Valley Police Degree team to perform the Master Mason Degree on Brother Anthony "Tony" D. Vorias, Jr. The Pioneer Valley Police Degree Team is made up of present and former police officers from around the Pioneer Valley. They often travel, by invitation, to various lodges within the state of Massachusetts for the purpose of presenting degrees, usually to candidates that are police officers themselves, a kind of brotherhood within our brotherhood. Brother Tony is a Massachusetts State Police officer and on this night became a Master Mason with all of the degree work performed by the police degree team in front of an enthusiastic and supportive lodge of fellow Brothers.
