New York Freemasonry loses no time in celebrating the semiquincentennial year of the American Founding. The, I think, first initiative is to be a statewide blanket of festive boards in May to commemorate the Continentals’ victory over His Majesty’s troops at Fort Ticonderoga, way up in Essex County.
Talk about charging your cannons. Vivat!
Mount Defiance Lodge 794, constituted back in 1888, is at labor in Ticonderoga, and I’m sure the brethren will party in high style. Here in Manhattan, I’m curious to see how many lodges under the same roof will try to host similar events at around the same time. At The American Lodge of Research, I’m already working on a festive board for June to mark a different anniversary, so will avoid those potential clashes.
