Visiting a Brother and reminding him that he’s still an important part of your Lodge and our Masonic family - an incredible act of Brotherly Love ❤️

Matt Doerr and I met with Brother Robert Re*****on who has not been at lodge in a long time living at his assisting living facility. We discussed fellowship and brotherly love. What a very nice brother to talk to and alot of stories.

Today, at the invitation of the Platteville Fire Department, the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin had the distinct honor of performing a Masonic Consecration Ceremony for their new fire station.

Members of Wisconsin Freemasonry's leadership team, led by Most Worshipful Grand Master Joseph Thompson, were honored to take part in this special occasion. It was truly wonderful to see so many members of the community come out to celebrate, show their support, and express their appreciation for the dedicated men and women of the Platteville Fire Department.

Freemasonry has a long tradition of service to our communities - and Wisconsin Freemasons are sincerely grateful to the Platteville Fire Department for inviting us to be a part of such an important day in their history!

Our Brothers in Rhinelander worked the b**r tent at a community event, raising awareness of Freemasonry in their area and raising money for the Northwoods Dream Fund which supports adults and families facing cancer, terminal illness, hospice care, and helping achieve final life-affirming dream fulfillments. Great job, Brothers!

Tomorrow’s weather is supposed to be amazing - 69 and sunny: a great day to cruise some beautiful Wisconsin byways to do some leaf peeping and raise money for their annual Lone Rock Easter Egg Hunt! Come join in the fun! 🚗 🏍️ 🛻 🍁

Don’t forget, Sunday is the Franklin Car Cruise. It looks like it will be great weather for some fall colors.

“Donations like this make a real difference in our community. Having readily accessible AEDs at Village facilities and community events can provide critical assistance in an emergency while first responders are on the way.” 💙👮

Strengthening our communities. Supporting our first responders. Bringing relief to those in need. That’s Wisconsin Freemasonry!

“On Friday, September 18 – 20, was our first Full Staff weekend held in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. We started the meeting with the Installation of WB Darrell Kyle as Grand Chaplain. Then followed by updates from MW Michael A. DeWolf, Grand Secretary and MW Paul Tourville with updates as Treasurer and Masonic Home Board. We were then presented with a very informative and powerful discussion of our joint Membership and Educational Committees. WB Danny Bourassa and WB Sam Dixon and their outstanding Committees have accomplished several tasks requested of them to assist Wisconsin Freemasonry move forward and leading the way to our future. Several of these programs will be reviewed by the Executive Committee for final approval and will be rolled out soon to the Lodges to assist them with new tools for recruitment, restoration and retention. WB Mike Burnham followed up with an outstanding presentation on Cybersecurity. As usual, not only was this informative, but it was presented in a fashion that was very understandable.”
