Fellowship of the Lodge

 Last night was the Stated Meeting and Election of Officers for Specialis Procer Lodge #678.  Following the meeting (which was over in one hour) 7 of us  (as is our custom) went out to supper.

We were going to a place in the East Village but the Village was having a special celebration and was full of people.  So we went to the restaurant in the Embassy Suites.  It was not busy and we were able to have a great meal and (best of all) Masonic Conversation.

When we started this Lodge the original concept was just a group who would go out to dinner and discuss things Masonic.  To often there is no discussion.  No give and take on Masonic subjets.  The idea behind this Lodge is that Education will not be just listening to papers or short things put out by the Grand Lodge designed to fit in between the important (?) business of paying bills and reading minutes.  And doing so in the Festive Board situation where we sit around the table and can have a free flow of ideas was one of the fundamental reasons we started this Lodge.

Last evening was one of the best examples of what this Lodge is all about that I can remember.  Good food, good brothers (all could not come) and best of all good conversation about things Masonic.  Very satisfying.  Thanks for stopping by.  Hugs,  j
