Friendship Lodge No. 53 Workday Success

Today, Friendship Lodge No. 53 came together for a highly productive workday. Brothers cleared leaves and debris, pressure washed the building, cleaned interior and exterior windows, organized and sanitized all refrigerators, and gave the kitchen a thorough deep cleaning.

Special thanks to our Worshipful Master, Bob Cox, along with Brothers Kelly Roller, Robert Wilkes, Paul Nehring, Phil Labert, and the entire Magras family—Brian, Michelle, Brandon, Aiden, and Melanie—for their hard work and dedication.
We also extend our appreciation to RW Ralph Shollenberger

Brethren, please join us in thanking all who participated. Your efforts have made a meaningful impact and greatly improved the appearance of our lodge.

The HOT WING CHALLENGE is just one week away. I hope all of the challengers are psyching themselves up to journey through the Gauntlet of Fire and lining up a crew of supporters to cheer them on… and possibly someone to drive them home! Supporters and spectators will be served a regular non-spicy meal to enjoy while they watch their champions.
Please firm up your plans to be at Friendship Lodge for this first time event on Tuesday, March 31st @ 6:30pm.
Come join the fun!!

R:.W:. John Story, has laid down his working tools and been called from labor to eternal rest.
A devoted Mason, he labored faithfully in the district, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, wisdom, and brotherly love that will not be forgotten. His contributions to the Fraternity and the lives he touched stand as a lasting testament to his character.
May the Great Architect of the Universe watch over and comfort his family in this time of sorrow, granting them peace and strength in the days ahead.
"Alas my Brother"

Brethren,
It is with great sorrow that we inform you that our Brother, W:. John Dalton of Belleview Lodge, has laid down his working tools and passed to the Celestial Lodge Above.
Please keep his family, friends, and the Brethren of Belleview Lodge in your thoughts and prayers during this time of mourning. May the Great Architect of the Universe watch over them and grant them comfort and peace.
Alas, My Brother.
