ATTENTION BROTHERS:

On Tuesday, June 23rd, Saint Petersburg Lodge No. 139 will have the honor and privilege of welcoming new Brothers into our venerable fraternity through the Entered Apprentice Degree.

Throughout history, many societies and cultures have marked important rites of passage and initiatory traditions as a way of recognizing growth, responsibility, and purpose. Freemasonry is unique in that our purpose is not simply to make men, but to help good men become great men — leaders within their families, pillars of their communities, and gracious members of society.

We warmly invite all Brothers to join us in fellowship as we welcome these candidates into the Craft and continue the timeless traditions that have united Masons for generations.

There are few occasions more meaningful than Brothers gathering together in unity, especially for the purpose of bringing new members into our illustrious fraternity. We look forward to sharing this special evening with all who are able to attend.

🗓 Tuesday, June 23rd
🍽 Dinner at 6:30 PM
🔨 Degree Begins at 7:30 PM

Due to the earthquake several years ago, extensive damage was done to the retaining wall surrounding the Memorial. This massive structure comprises 456,940 cubic feet of stone and concrete. All four corners of the wall have separated, and one of them is so fractured that, without intervention, a collapse will be inevitable.

Mortar erosion can be seen on all surfaces of the wall, where deferred repointing over several decades has allowed water to enter the wall’s internal structure. Freezing and thawing cycles then do damage to the wall's alignment and stability.

Finally, the wall must be cleaned. While it is made of the same stone as the Memorial itself, it no longer matches the Memorial in appearance. After all the structural repairs are made, we will restore this beautiful retaining wall to its intended appearance, returning the deserved nobility of the Memorial’s exterior.

Contributions to the Seal the Envelope campaign will provide much-needed support for our work to stabilize this wall and restore its appearance. Learn more how you can help: https://gwmemorial.org/pages/seal
