Lowther Manor Lodge Serves Our Community
Highway Litter Pickup - PA Adopt-A-Highway
Our last litter pickup on the old Route 15 pickup area went well and gave usthe opportunity to provide Masonic assistance to a little old lady (and her dog) from New Jersey who was passing through and had a flat tire. In the fall we had our first litter pickup of our new area along state road 382, Lewisberry Rd, also known as "Space Highway." This brings our pickup closer to the lodge where we can also interact with our neighbors.
All able bodies brethren are encouraged to help out. Friends and family members are welcome to join in this public service project!
Our Latest Chicken BBQ
Thanks to all who patronized and helped out at our last Chicken BBQ. We once again sold out and saw many repeat visitors. Grillmaster Bro. PM Ricky Patrick and crew did a great job with the chicken which was BBQ'd and seasoned to perfection. Our "chicken man," Bro. Art Smith (left) helped attract attention by the roadside. We also conducted several lodge tours and passed out information about Freemasonry and our lodge.
Proceeds help us defray expenses and free up funds for charitable purposes.
Our Progress to Date
Brethren,
At our latest session at the Nauvoo Road Lodge Building. We identified our critical objectives and began the to discuss the Lodge's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) and how these affect our objectives. We have begun to address some of the opportunities revealed during the process and are in the process of appointing a select committee to finalize the work and develop a strategic plan for the lodge.
