 | HIRAM AWARDThe Hiram Award was designed to be presented to the "unsung hero" of every Lodge. An outstanding Brother who consistently donates their time and talents to our beloved Fraternity or who have brought credit to the Craft by their community activities.
The Hiram Award was launched in February of 1977 at Galt Lodge No. 267. That first year only one Hiram Award was presented. But it quickly caught on and in 1978 forty were presented and in 1979 two hundred and fifty were presented. By 1980, nearly all Lodges participated in granting a Hiram Award. The Brother who has been selected as a Hiram Award recipient is being singled out with the highest honor which can be bestowed upon a member that has unselfishly given of his time, talents and energy for the betterment of his Lodge and Freemasonry. Irvine Valley Lodge No 671 F. & A.M. is proud to honor the following Brothers with this prestigious award. John J Fierst - 1988 Gilbert E. Christianson - 1989 Mark E. Schrock, P.M. - 1990 Monte R.
