The April 9th Stated Meeting
Many thanks to all the brethren who turned out for a great chicken cordon bleu dinner and an equally great stated meeting. We remembered our warrant members and were pleased to have Bro. Gregory Sutliff, (front row 4th from left) present with us. He was presented with the newly updated Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, lapel Pin. Brother Dreher L. Richards III (front row 2nd from right) and Jeffrey L. Heiss, PM, WM (front center), received their 25 year service awards. We very much enjoyed the evenings program on the York Rite of Freemasonry presented by David McDade, PM. WM of Prince Edwin-Spring Creek Lodge, and the exemplification of the examination of a visitor deftly presented by Bro. Jack Cole, PM. And... we also voted with our donations for the pie to be served at May's stated meeting. It was a full but most enjoyable meeting with some familiar faces, a visitor or two, and some members we haven't seen in awhile. The lodge closed in harmony with the singing of Auld Lang Syne, fellowship, and of course ice cream in the social hall!
The March 19th Extra Meeting
Degree Work ~ It was a great evening of degree work as Brothers Jack Mentzer (center left) and Gregory Perez (center left) were raised to become the newest Master Masons of Lowther Manor Lodge, They are flanked by the conferring degree masters, Todd L. Snyder, P.M. and Jeffrey L. Heiss, P.M., W.M. Also pictured are many of the brethren who took chairs for the degrees or manned the sidelines. Following the meeting all retired to the social hall for ice cream, and Masonic fellowship. Many thanks to the brothers who manned the sidelines!
Brothers Mentzer and Perez returned the following evening for their first lodge mentoring night. They are both enthusiastic and excited to begin a lifelong journey as Master Masons.

Not That Long Ago - A Milestone
Following the acquisition of what was once a Jehovah's Witnesses meeting Hall the lodge members and contractors began the hard work of transforming the building from its original purpose to become a new type of temple. Construction took place throughout 2018 and the building's transformation into a Masonic Temple was completed in 2019. In October of 2019 the lodge was ceremoniously dedicated by the Grand Lodge. Please accept our Masonic invitation to the brethren to come and visit often.
