A message from the Worshipful Master

Brethren, as we enter September, we begin to prepare for the season of Fall and the last quarter of the Masonic year of 2026. However, before the curtain closes on this year, we still have a lot to do. For September, besides our normal Stated Communication, we have a plethora of other activities this month including: Rainbow's Genovia Event, Installation of DeMolay Officers, and a Fraternal visit to Fredericksburg Lodge.

In August, we had a delicious dinner that was provided by Amaranth Destiny Court Ways & Means and I want to take the time to say thank you to them for their hard work and preparation. We had a very educational program from our Lodge Educational Officer, Brother Sam Marso on the importance of our Masonic Charges.

This September, our Stated Communication will be slightly different than usual. First, our dinner will start at 6pm instead of 6:30pm. Our dinner will be provided by Wimodausis Order of the Eastern Star. Following dinner, at 7pm, we will have a brief Masonic Memorial Service in honor or our departed brother, Paul Ebert. All are welcome to attend. Prior to the meeting, we have an entertaining educational program provided by none other than Worshipful Brother BENJAMIN FRANKLIN himself (as portrayed by Brother William Ochester of Warren Lodge #310 in Collegeville, PA) which is open to both Masons & non-Masons. The usual business of the Lodge will take place afterwards.

May the Great Architect of the Universe bless you with wisdom to guide your actions, strength to support your labors, and beauty to inspire your works.
 
"The wages of a Mason are in the dealings with one another; sympathy begets sympathy, kindness begets kindness, helpfulness begets helpfulness, and these are the wages of a Mason."      
       
- Worshipful Brother Benjamin Franklin
