08 Feb 2017 Lodge Practice

Practice was held at the Lodge this evening at 7:30 PM.

We went over Opening and Closing the Lodge. Mostly PMs were present but also one of our newest members.

The Stewards were also there starting tomorrow evening's meal.  It will be pulled pork and hash browns. The pork already smelled good and it will slowly cook overnight. I must remember to not eat tomorrow until I get to Lodge. (Breakfast does not count toward this requirement!)

Our Lodge gets a lot of compliments on our meals.  We eat great food!

Masons get blamed for a lot of things by a lot of people. Our Lodge might be guilty of gluttony! We love to eat tasty meals and we do not care if eating them upsets anyone. Our meals will not usually please vegans or others who do not appreciate cooked critters. That leave more for us to eat..

06 Feb 2017 Roundtable Discussion

The usually monthly Roundtable Discussion was held this evening at Harmony Lodge No. 429.

All Masons are welcome to attend and participate. The discussions start at 7 PM and usually last about an hour. Food is usually served.

The discussion for tonight was about the Landmarks of Freemasonry. For more information do a search online for Masonic Landmarks.  You will find a lot of data.

The topic of the March Roundtable to be held on 06 March 2017 will concern the ancient ritual that seems to have involved Noah instead of King Solomon. Should be interesting.

Do some research and bring your ideas to share with the rest of us.

Donations are welcome at these events to help cover the cost of the food.
