Greetings from the Secretary’s Desk
BE A MASON – MAKE A MASON – BRING A MASON
Thank you for visiting the web site of one of the most historic Lodges in Freemasonry. Each month you will find the current copy of our monthly newsletter posted … just click “Trestleboard” link. In addition to this monthly newsletter, I email friends and members of the Lodge notices of unscheduled (“Called Communications”) meetings or other official announcements. If you wish to subscribe, click above on “Contact Secretary.” Our Lodge meets on the second Friday of each month (except in November, when we meet on the 4th of the month to celebrate the anniversary of the Initiation of George Washington). The monthly “Stated Communication” is open to Master Masons in good standing. The Lodge opens at 7:30 p.m. We start with a Fellowship Dinner at 6:30 p.m., which is open to friends and family. Go to top of this page to make a dinner reservation. In addition to the monthly meeting, we meet each Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. for Degree work or practice. And lastly, we are conducting Saturday morning Masonic Education Classes for Entered Apprentices and Fellowcraft. These classes are also open to “seasoned veterans” who would like to review, or brush-up on Lodge protocol. See the Trestleboard for a schedule of activities.
If you are new to the area and are looking for more information about the Fraternity of Freemasons or wish to transfer your membership, please contact us … or better yet, stop by for a visit. Not only are we one of Freemasonry’s most historic Lodges, we are working on becoming one of the friendliest! Just walk in the Lodge’s front door and stick out your right hand to the first person you see … you just met your next best friend.
Welcome to our Lodge. Welcome to our hearts. Welcome to our home.
Dan Thompson, Past Master Lodge Secretary |
