This is another installment in a series where we will introduce some of our members. These are the up-and-coming leaders of our Fraternity. These are men from all walks of life. Fathers, sons, husbands… and we all call each other Brothers. These are just some of the stories behind Denver Lodge No.5.

Michael Rotert lives in Westminster, Colorado and is a proud husband, father of four boys and Mason.  He owns and runs an importing business that is also located in Westminster.  When he isn’t working, he enjoys spending time with his family, shooting and designing and building furniture.

He has been a Brother at D5 since April 2016.  He enjoys many aspects of Freemasonry, particularly the fellowship with the diverse group of Brothers in our lodge. Masonic and philosophical discussion, degree work and promoting the Craft are just some of the things he enjoys about being a Mason.

Since he has joined Denver Lodge #5, he has proven to be a big asset to the Fraternity helping out with degree work and on the Fraternal Activities Committee. We’re glad to call him “Brother.” 

Say hi to him at our next meeting.

This is another installment in a series where we will introduce some of our members. These are the up-and-coming leaders of our Fraternity. These are men from all walks of life. Fathers, sons, husbands… and we all call each other Brothers. These are just some of the stories behind Denver Lodge No.5.

Meet Brother Ariel Breitman. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1993. At 15 years old, Ariel moved to New York City to train for a career in professional ballet. After working with The Washington Ballet in DC for one year, he received a job offer with the Colorado Ballet in 2014.

Ariel was raised by Brotherhood Lodge No. 126 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in June of 2015.

Masonry for Ariel has been a life changing experience. After joining Denver Lodge No. 5 in 2016, Breitman has met countless friends and Brothers, offering some of the most valuable, meaningful and profound relationships he has ever had. Through his connection with Colorado Ballet, Ari enjoys introducing Brothers to his lifelong passion and profession.

Ari has been a tremendous asset the Fraternity and it’s always great to see him.

Say hi to him at our next meeting.

This is the first installment in our new series where we will introduce some of our members. These are the up-and-coming leaders of our Fraternity. These are men from all walks of life. Fathers, sons, husbands… and we all call each other Brothers. These are just some of the stories behind Denver Lodge No.5.

Meet Sean. He is one of our newest Fellowcrafts and a great guy all around. We’ll let him introduce himself in his own words.

I have lived in Colorado since 1998. I am a father of 3. Being a father has proved to be more challenging, rewarding, and enriching than I have ever thought. I love to cook, hike, snowboard, and listen to music. Music is dear me, as is my vinyl collection. From Miles Davis to Jane’s Addiction and everything in-between… Nothing beats it.

Freemasonry and the Brothers of Denver No. 5 have been a wonderful addition to my existence. I look forward to sharing space and breaking bread with these gentlemen on the first and third Thursdays for Lodge and then to congregate outside of Lodge for some great and memorable times! Brothers in every sense of the word. It is a diverse group of guys and a group that you will find it hard not to strike a meaningful conversation with. 

Sean has a great future in the Fraternity. Say hi to him at our next meeting.

Pablo Colomban Master's Message Tagged Tags: , , , , , , ,

While January marks a new year, I would first like to thank all the Brethren that helped make 2016 a great one. And to the 2017 officer line, thank you for your continued dedication to Denver Lodge No. 5!

Welcome to our new Denver No. 5 website! Anyone can now easily navigate the new, mobile friendly version to pay dues, keep up-to-date with events and the latest news about our Lodge. Explore around! While you’re at it, make sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

We are hitting the ground running this year with E.A. and M.M. proficiencies on January 5th and Fellowcraft Degree work on January 19th. Let’s all make sure to be there to give these Brothers MORE LIGHT! They have been working hard for it.

As stated during the installation, our newly formed Fraternal Activities Committee is already working hard to bring you some fun events like the golf league, shooting club, and trip to Wyoming, but like anything else, if you do not actively participate, it will not succeed. A Lodge without Brothers, is just an empty room. Please come out and support D5! There is a bowling night scheduled for Saturday, January 14th from 2-4pm at the Denver Athletic Club. We have also reserved some seats for the D.U. Hockey game on Saturday January 28th at 7pm.

 See Curt Robinson J.W. for more details.

While I am excited to be a part of this Lodge’s long history, in even the smallest way, I am even more humbled and honored to be chosen to lead for one year as Worshipful Master. Brethren, I thank you for that honor.

Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year to everyone!

Pablo Colomban, W.M.
Denver Lodge No. 5 A.F. & A.M.
