The lodge room has 30 foot tall ceilings adorned with artwork representing a cloudy sky. When the main lighting is off a beautiful display of colored lights mimic the colors seen in the sky at the close of the day. Once dimmed completely, though, pin sized holes in the ceiling allow light to shine as though a star. The impressive dimensions of the room are 60 feet by more than 40 feet in width. The floor is covered with a beautiful but random tilled floor.
Arriving at 6:30pm for dinner was a great decision. WB Mark Roberts was just finishing in the kitchen preparing an outstanding dinner of beef tenderloin, and crisp asparagus. Arriving for dinner is a must. Not only does it allow you to enjoy some really great food, but it also gives
more time to talk and get to know the brothers.Lodge opened on the Master Mason degree, and raised Fellowcrafts Derek Dimauro, Jordan Beauchemin, and Robert Harrison to the sublime degree of a Master Mason. The Senior Deacon Joe Korineck had his plate full having three brothers to conduct, but that didn't intimidate him. Brother Joe's display of floor work was that of a seasoned veteran, rather than that of a newly installed Senior Deacon. His corners were sharp, and reminiscent of the military.
The obligations were given by the acting WM Robert Grismer. They were presented with the lectures by WM Andrew Barys and his Senior Warden. The second section lecture presented by visiting brother Justin Shmigel from Warren Lodge #51, Portland. Many of the brothers had never heard this lecture. RW Fran Distefano gave the charge flawlessly.
It was a late night when lodge closed. Everyone headed downstairs for some fellowship and banter.
Travel yourself! Go to a neighboring lodge or see what it's like on the other side of the state. Either way you will find it to be a truly rewarding experience. Ryan Howard Warren Lodge #51
