My Brothers,

Our Grand Lodge Visit is around the corner and I am happy to say we have sold out of tickets 3 weeks in advance. This is going to be an epic event.

We will be celebrating Mardi Gras with the Grand Master, his staff and brothers from around the state.

If you were not able to get a ticket for the dinner and or would only like to come to the lodge meeting, you are more than welcome to attend. You do

not need to purchase a ticket to enjoy fellowship and come to lodge.

4:00pm ‐ Lodge Opening
4:30‐5:00pm Hors d'oeuvres
5:00‐7:00pm Dinner
7:00‐8:00pm Lodge
8:00‐12:00am After Party

The menu will consist of New Orleans / Mardi Gras traditional favorites. Our dinner guest will also enjoy bourbon tasting and the ladies will enjoy a comedic magician show. Read Menu

Special thank you to Brother Mark Wilson for letting us use his beautiful lodge. To the ladies and brother of the lodge that help me put this spectacular event together.THANK YOU !!

Fraternally Yours,
