‘And now for something completely different’

Well, maybe not completely different, but this will be a new one for me. I foreswore lodges of instruction ten years ago, but having been elected to membership in Publicity Lodge 1000 the other day,  I want to attend the Fourth Manhattan District (the “Glorious Fourth,” as it is known) Grand Lecturer’s Convention Friday.

Pyramid Lodge No. 490 will host, and will open at 7:30, and the event will begin at eight. The work of the evening will include the Opening ritual and the obsequy ritual. That’s the Renaissance Room on the sixth floor of Masonic Hall at 71 West 23rd Street in Manhattan.


Events coming in spring include the District Ritual Contest, to be hosted by Gramercy Lodge No. 537 on Friday, April 10; and the MAGLA Ritual Contest on Wednesday, April 29. Also, the Ritual Renaissance Program on April 25.
