James E. Dillon Lodge #466 - Grand Lodge of Michigan

A few reminders from MICHIGAN MASONS - Official Page of the Grand Lodge of Michigan

The degree Sunday will begin at 3 p.m. We will aim to have assistant tilers ready to start checking dues cards around 1 p.m. Once your dues card is verified, you will receive a wristband and can leave. When you come back in we'll have a separate line for those that have already checked in, just show your wristband.

Dress code is whatever you would wear to a degree in your own lodge short of a tuxedo. Suit or at least shirt and tie would be preferred but if you are in khakis and a lodge polo, we won't be turning you away. Just no jeans/t-shirts or shorts please.

We will have the aprons we use for the Annual Communication session on hand but fully expect and hope to run out. If you can bring a white or PM apron with you that would be great.

Brother Rusty and Brother Cameren will be there, come find us!

We have set up a fund to assist our Brother Billy King and his wife Sandy in their recovery efforts from the devastating fire which claimed their home and all worldly possessions.

Our Brother Billy King and his wife Sandy have suffered a devastating loss after a house fire destroyed their home and nearly everything inside. In a matter of moments, they lost not only their belongings, but close to 100 years of memories—family keepsakes, photographs, and the irreplaceable piec...

For those who don't know yet. WB Billy and Sandy King had their house burned to the ground this morning. It was a total loss. They are staying with a family friend at this point. They saved their 2 cars, a new puppy and the clothes on their backs. Please keep them in your prayers. They ask for privacy for the immediate time, but donations of time or material goods in the coming days will go a long way.
