Maine Masonry Today

    On July 26th we will be celebrating 150 years since the first stated communication of Paris lodge. There is a big day planned and we are in hopes of seeing you at lodge. The entire day is open to the public and please bring family and friends. We are getting huge support from throughout the district and from grand lodge.

     At 9:00am we will be holding a C.H.I.P.S. program . During this same period WOXO radio will be doing a live broadcast plus advanced advertising. At 11:00am there is going to be a parade on Main St, and the more masons in it the better. At about 11:30am we will be hosting an open to the public cookout. There is going to be a 30x60 tent with tables and chairs, so regardless of the weather everyone can enjoy the food and time of fellowship. We owe a huge thanks to Hannaford and Polly’s variety for their generous donations.

The Annual visitation to the Togus VA Hospital took place on Sunday, November 25, 2007. The Grand Lodge of Maine made visits to several residents there and attended church services. A luncheon followed at noon. The coordination of efforts there are made largely in part by R.W. Bro, W. Daniel Hill, Assistant Grand Chaplain, who is the Masonic Services Representative at Togus.

College bound student and Belfast resident Shawn Young, pictured holding the certificate, received a $500.00 scholarship From Belfast Lodge in Belfast back in September.
