Brothers,

Our beloved Lodge, which was the 9th oldest in the State, has now officially merged with Social Lodge No. 48 in Northfield.
Today, by unanimous vote, our members voted in favor of this merger. Likewise, the brothers in Northfield have also voted unanimously to accept our membership into their ranks.
We are proud to be merging with such a fine and welcoming Lodge. Faribault and Northfield have a long history of working together to better our members and community. Northfield will take ownership of and help maintain our historic building in downtown Faribault. The building will continue on as an asset to Social Lodge just as Freemasonry will continue on as an asset to Faribault via Northfield. Many of our members, past and present, have a long and rich history in Rice County. It is fitting that our cherished history remains in Rice County under the stewardship of the Northfield Lodge.
We look forward to our newly combined future of community engagement and brotherly love. Events such as Heritage Days and Jesse James Days will be all the more exciting because of this merger. Freemasonry will also be all the more exciting and engaging in Rice County because of this merger. May Brotherly Love prevail and cement us now and forever!

Fraternally Yours,
Bro. Jonathan Wood
