The December 2024 Stated Meeting

Merry Christmas and seasonal greetings! Our December gathering will truly be a festive occasion!
We’ll begin the evening at 6:00 pm with our traditional grilled steak dinner. The cost is $20 per person. Reservations are required by Dec. 6th and may be sent to wmlm781@gmail.com. Please feel free to bring along wine, beer, or other beverages to accompany your meal and a dessert for all to share.
Our stated meeting will begin at 7:30 pm. Our lodge elections were held in November, and we will conduct the necessary business with all due dispatch. Ladies are encouraged to bring a memorable Christmas ornament to display and discuss.
Once the lodge is closed, ladies and guests will join the Brethren in the lodge room. Once assembled we will conduct the installation of officers for 2025, enjoy the reading of the history of Lowther Manor Lodge, and find out whatever connection exists between Freemasonry and Christmas.
Following the programs we will return to the social hall for dessert and festivities. It should be an entertaining and informative evening for all!
The November 2024 Stated Meeting
What a nice turnout and a great stated meeting honoring all our veterans. Bro. Wilbur Wolf of Eureka-West Shore Lodge No. 302 presented an outstanding program about Veterans Outreach of Pennsylvania. Also, Bro. Past Master Ron Shuey, representing the Car Show Committee, presented the lodge with a check for $3000.00 to benefit the lodge's trade school scholarship program.
Our 2024 officer line was unanimously re-elected to serve another term in 2025 to continue to further the initiatives begun this year. We sincerely appreciate your continued support!
We encourage you to learn more about Veterans Outreach of PA and the tiny homes project for homeless veterans:
The Lowther Manor Lodge No. 781 16th Annual Car Show
THANKS TO ALL WHO SPONSORED, ATTENDED, DONATED, AND HELPED WITH THE CAR SHOW
Thanks to all who made this year's car show a success! The day's weather was perfect, over 100 cars and cycles of all types were on the lot and they all looked great. There was great food, music, raffles, prizes and the fellowship of all the car enthusiasts who came out to show. Over $3,000 was raised which will all go to scholarships for graduating seniors pursuing advanced technical training and certifications.
Our Newest Master Mason ~ Brother Jerel E. Bruns
Brother Jerel (Jerry) E. Bruns (3rd from left, front row) was raised to the degree of Master Mason at our Extra Meeting on June 18th, 2024. Jerry was our first member to have received the consecutive 1st & 2nd degrees in May so he had quite a bit of mentoring and learning to do leading up to this night. The 3rd degree was conferred by Todd L. Snyder, Past Master and the ancient charge at raising was given by Dale M. Hauze, Sr., Past Master.
It was a wonderful evening of degree work and Jerry (he prefers "Jerry") is looking forward to the next steps in his Masonic journey.
Lowther Manor Lodge Serves Our Community
We beat the heat! Our last litter pickup went well, but we sure could use some more picker uppers. We had just enough to do two of our one-mile sections of route 15 southbound either side of the PA turnpike entrance. Freshly mowed so lots of trash was exposed and removed filling many (36) trash bags. Pictures are Brothers Art Smith, Steve Koser, Jeffrey Painter, and Mark Gaines, PM. Picture taken by George (Radar) Martin and also not shown, Steve Wilt, Jeff Heiss, PM WM, and breakfast Chef extraordinaire PM Ricky Patrick.
Our next pickup is October 12th, all are welcome to help out. Friends and family members are welcome!
