WELCOME NEXT MEETING: Tuesday, September 8th.  We are now "dark" for the summer, but our labors have not ceased.  See the summer issue of the Lodge newsletter "Temple News," now available by clicking on the link on the left. Meetings are held every second and fourth Tuesday of the month. The second Tuesday is a business meeting, and the fourth Tuesday is for degree work and/or fellowship. Dinner is at 6:00 PM, with the meeting commencing at 7:00 PM. Our Lodge has been in Mankato for over 150 years. We are in the oldest building in town, and the Lodge has been in it for over 130 years. Freemasonry is the world’s oldest fraternal organization. While we do engage in philanthropic and service endeavors, we exist primarily for brotherhood and to “make good men better.” If you have ever wondered about becoming a Mason, you should know that we are not permitted to ask you to join; however, if you ask a Mason for information, he will be more than happy to provide it for you. We want you to want to become a Mason. We are not a “secret” organization; we are an organization with a few secrets. Most of what we do we will be happy to share with you. If you want more information, contact us at the phone number above, or email us.
