‘Ancient York’s sesquicentenary’

     

Three months from today, Ancient York Lodge 89 in New Hampshire will commemorate its sesquicentennial anniversary with what looks like a fantastic celebratory program. From the publicity:

Sunday, June 13 at 2 p.m.

150th Anniversary Celebration

The program for the afternoon includes:

Reconsecration ceremony conducted by the officers of the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire, F&AM.

Presentation by the Nashua Historical Society on Nashua in the 1870s.

Lodge history presentation by the officers and brethren of Ancient York Lodge.

Presentation by Worshipful Brother Christopher Murphy, Masonic lecturer, Past Master of Fibonacci Lodge 112 in Vermont, and Fellow of the Philalethes Society.

Music by Worshipful Brother Joseph Olefirowicz, world-renowned conductor and Minister of Music at First Church in Nashua.

And more!

Of course there will be a very special dinner, and that will incur a dining fee, so please reserve for that in advance here.

    

‘Masonic Con 2021’

     

UPDATE—MARCH 2021: It’s been announced the event will be a hybrid. Those who currently hold the full package tickets may attend in person. Otherwise attendance will be online. There will be no vendors. If I understand correctly. Go to here.

UPDATE: Forget all about the information below. Forget New Hampshire completely. “Masonic Con 2020-ish” will take place at Ezekiel Bates Lodge in Massachusetts April 30 to May 2, 2021. Tickets available here.

Next May—that’ll be 2021 for those who have lost track of time due to being in lockdown—Ancient York Lodge 89 will host Masonic Con!

This is the Masonic Con of Ezekiel Bates Lodge fame; the two will co-host, but it will take place at Ancient York in New Hampshire on May 1. This time I’m going! (I always say that before remembering my aversion to leaving the house, but I’m really going this time.)

No news yet on speakers, programs, vendors, etc. I’ll report it all on The Magpie Mason when the announcements are made, but I don’t expect any of that before 2021.
