Observance Lodge and Phoenix Lodge team up for a good cause.
During Observance's Feb. stated meeting, it was brought to the attention of the lodge that several of our brothers in Tennessee have been left homeless and some lodges have been destroyed by the recent tornadoes that swept through Tennessee. Observance lodge and visiting brethren from Phoenix lodge decided to take action by hosting a dinner to raise money for the Grand Lodge disaster relief fund. We hope to get Masons from all over Tennessee to come out in full force in support of this noble cause. We have all promised to help aid and assist and that time has come. Mark your calendars and spread the word. April 5th, 4pm-7pm, at the Grand Lodge Building.

Happy Thanksgiving from Observance Lodge

Special Thanks to visiting brother George Dickie.
Brothers, this stated meeting was excellent. The charity flowing from the lodge was extra gracious and the fellowship was even greater. Brother George Dickie was visiting Observance Lodge from Scotland. Brother Dickie participated in the night's gracious giving by offering a good deal of his own money to our various charities. We owe a special thanks to Brother Dickie. Other proceedings of the night included setting two master mason degrees for Nov. 29, confirming installation of officers and dinner for Dec. 6 (everyone welcome and encouraged to come), presenting certificates and awards to many notable brothers, and eating an excellent meal. If we keep the energy and fun at this level all next year we will see great progress in our lodge!
