How about a discussion of what our lodge is doing right?

Brothers, My Lodge uses the S&C bulbs. I have attended one lodge that uses candles: University Lodge in Austin, Texas in an historic old building there. I was very impressed with the "lighting of the candles" at the opening of the lodge. Much better than tapping the bulb to make sure it...

Here is an old poem that has been making the Masonic circles. It came to me from a local brother in Salado and then from Brother Dwight Seals. Lodge Number One, The North Pole 'Twas the Night before Christmas, and down at the lodge not a gavel was stirring, and in the...

Tranquility Lodge... Texas has jurisdiction on the moon!

How many of you are members of Moon Lodges? Salado Masonic Lodge is one of the few remaining "Moon Lodges" left in the state of Texas. At one time, before electrification of the rural countrysides, most Masonic lodges were "Moon Lodges," which meant that their meeting calendars were driven by...

I woke up at 1 a.m. and watched it in our backyard with my wife and daughter and dogs! We had our Masonic Lodge meeting a few hours before. Salado Masonic Lodge is one of the few Moon Lodges left in Texas.
