Fish Dinners are Over!
29 March 2013
Tonight was the last night of serving Fish Dinners during Lent.
While the members of the Lodge who worked to make these dinners successful had a lot of fun doing so none of us are sad to see that the weekly event is finished for this year.
Probably less than 10 % of our members actually came out and helped. I have not actually compiled a list yet but i do not think we had any more than 11 members show up to help.
It is sad that so few members came to help out their Lodge. A few members did show up and eat!

22 Mar 2013 Fish Dinner Tonight
22 March 2013
Tonight we hosted our 6th of 7 Fish Dinners for Lent.
We served 96 people tonight.
The food was quite tasty and included baked or fried fish, french fries or mac-n-cheese, brownies or cake, coleslaw, ice cream and various drinks.
We asked for a donation of $9.00 for this great meal. Many folks come to each dinner and sit around and have a good time talking with each other.
Those of us who have worked each of these dinners are somewhat glad that we only have one more dinner to go after tonight. We are ready for a Friday night that we do not have to work at the Lodge. Overall we have had a fun time and will likely do this again next year. The group that works each dinner is pretty much the same from dinner to dinner. We would like to have some other members come out and help us out but they seem to be unable or unwilling to so do.
We have one more Fish Dinner scheduled for Good Friday, 29 March 2013. Come out and join us for a fun evening. We have had a fun time working together for this event and we are even making some money to help the Lodge help others in need.
After Good Friday we will hold a Chicken BBQ on 20 April 2013 at the Lodge. It will be cooked by Whiting Family Foods, LLC, which is owned and operated by a Brother Mason.
Later in the year we will have our annual Ox Roast on 03 August 2013.

Wilmington Lodge at Business Expo
On 09 March 2013 Several members of Wilmington Lodge No. 804 set up a display table at the New Wilmington Area Business Expo that was held in the Westminster College Gymnasium in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. We passed out information and answered questions.
We did have a lot of people fill out slips of paper in an attempt to win the two Fish Dinner tickets we were giving away. Most people seemed only interested in what we were giving away and never bothered to even look at any other information.
Some folks who live in the town did not even know that a Masonic Lodge existed in town. One person who knew nothing about us only lived a couple hundred yards from the Lodge. Not everyone is observant!
The Expo went from 10 AM until 3 PM.
Those of us who were there had a good time. We will probably do it again next year.
A fem men actually asked about how to join so each of them were actually given a Petition for Initiation and Membership.

25 Feb 2013 Visit to Ad Lucem Lodge No. 812
Two members of Wilmington Lodge No. 804 went to visit Ad Lucem Lodge No. 812 on 25 Feb 2013.
SMG &FJA departed NW about 5 PM and arrived in Oakland by about 6:15 PM. We finally found a parking place and made it into the Pittsburgh Athletic Association building, which is where Ad Lucem Lodge meets.
Ad Lucem Lodge No 812 is one of only two Traditional Observance Lodges in Pennsylvania.
We found this trip to be one of pleasure.

Fish Dinner held 22 Feb 2013
Wilmington Lodge No. 804 Held its Second Lenten Fish Dinner at the Wilmington Masonic Hall on Friday 22 Feb 2013.
We served 117 dinners this evening. We ask for a donation of $9.00 for the meal.
We were given many nice compliments about the food.
We give the eater a choice of Baked or Fried Fish (Cod), coleslaw, brownies, a choice of either French fries or macaroni-n-cheese, ice cream and a variety of drinks.
Nobody should ever go away from a dinner at Wilmington Lodge without being stuffed, unless they choose to so do.
Our dinners are almost always very tasty. We also have a fun time during the dinners.
If you like fish give our Lodge Dinners a try. We will hold these dinners each Friday of Lent including Good Friday during 2013.
Fellow Masons are especially encouraged to come out an help support our Lodge.
