On December 5. 1992, R.W. William J. Rogers, D. D. G. M., Hyannis 32d District, opened a District Deputy Grand Master" s Lodge for the purpose of instituting Cawnacome Sunshine Lodge. This is the fifth Daylight Lodge to be organized under the jurisdiction of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Masons in Massachusetts.

The first order of business was the reading of the dispensation of the Grand Master followed by the reception of the appointed officers of Cawnacome Sunshine Lodge. Immediately following was the reception of M. W. Edgar W. Darling, then Grand Master. M. W. Bro. Darling was received by R.W. Bro. Rogers and escorted to the East where he gave a few brief remarks. R. W. Bro. Rogers installed the officers. He was assisted by Wor. John Trottier, D. D. G. Marshal; Wor. Donald G. Frommeyer, D. D. G. Secretary; R. W. Robert Pann, D. D .G. Chaplain; and Wor. Myron C. Bigelow, Organist.

In attendance at the installation were 125 charter members. There are 175 charter members of the Lodge. The following officers were installed: R. W. Kendall G. Jones, P. D. D. G. M., Master; Wor. Stanley G. Robinson, Senior Warden; Wor. Richard F. Grant, Junior Warden; Wor. Robert F. Jones, Treasurer; Wor. William K. Turner, Secretary; Wor. Allen J. Malesco, Chaplain; Wor. Calvin R. Lessard, Marshal; Bro. Peter E. Stone, Senior Deacon; Wor. Hiram J. Jones, Junior Deacon; Bro. William H. Haskell, Jr., Senior Steward; Bro. Richard E. McKenna, Junior Steward; Bro. Waldron H. Boch, Inside Sentinel; Bro. George J. Hood, Tyler; and Wor. Myron C. Bigelow, Organist.

Following the close of the Lodge, members and guests went to the Weary Travellers Club House at Monument Beach where an excellent roast beef dinner was served. The members of Cawnacome Sunshine Lodge are planning to break ground this spring to build a new Temple. The Lodge has already performed Degree work and has received six new applications for the Degrees.
