 There is just SO much going on with Freemasonry and Masons in Maine today that we needed a new website to chronicle it all.
We're glad you've stopped by.... Come back often. |

The Bangor Masonic Center is finding many avenues for uses and for community service in its new location at the former Bangor Theological Seminary Center.
On February 20th the dining area in the former Wellman Commons was made available to North Star Lodge No. 22, F. & A.M. of Bangor, under the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge, Jurisdiction of Massachusetts. The occasion marked the lodge's celebration of Black History month with a potluck supper which was attended by some 70 people including ten members of the Grand Lodge of Maine and their wives.

 A year ago this past December, Wor Scott Boyington, Master of Benevolent Lodge 87 in Carmel, Maine instituted a community charitable program called “Bikes for Books”. This unique idea was embraced by the Brothers and all thought that this would be a great program to get behind. As the initial planning took place, it was decided that we would have the following 3 area elementary schools participate; Etna - Dixmont Elementary, Carmel Elementary and Levant Elementary. It was to be open to grades K through 5. It was our intent to have a minimum of 3 bicycles and 3 helmets available per school. .
This program would work by promoting an interest in reading by offering bicycles as an incentive. It was purely voluntary and would work through teacher cooperation by placing a student name into a “drawing bucket” per school as a chance to win one of the bikes. The student would read a grade appropriate book and have a chance to be awarded a bicycle. The students would receive one chance per book. We set a start date of March 1 and an end date of May 15 for the students to read books.

Maine Masonry has many notable men in its ranks; men who have accomplished great things in the eyes of a grateful society by performing acts that are just a part of doing their jobs. Our Grand Secretary R.W. Brother Hollis G. Dixon is one of them. He is a Mason who values the act of contributing to his community but would rather not stand in the spotlight for it. He is modest by nature and true to his core beliefs of good citizenship, service, and integrity. Please join us in congratulating Hollis for being named Legendary Trooper of the Maine State Police. Hollis was awarded the honor in a ceremony last week in Augusta and presented with a plaque in recognition of that honor.  Pictured in the photo from left to right are: Maine State Police Lt. Ralph Pinkham, Retired, who presented the award to Hollis; Maine State Police Captain Hollis "Tom" Dixon, Retired; Gov. John Baldacci; Maine Commissioner of Public Safety Ann Jordan; and Maine State Police Col. Patrick Fleming. Also in attendance but not pictured were other Troopers who are Masons. Captain Guy Savage, Maine State Police, Retired, who was Tom's first Sgt. when he joined the State Police and Guy's son, Cpl. Breen Savage, Retired, who Tom helped train when Breen joined the State Police. (Breen supplied the picture). Also Lt. Gerald "Red" Therrien, Retired, who is active in the Shrine and who Tom raised when he was Master of the Maine State Police Masonic Degree Team. |
