You may never meet the person whose life you help save, but they—and their family—will never forget the gift you gave.

An hour of your time can provide comfort, healing, and hope to someone facing one of the most difficult days of their life.

Please consider donating blood and invite your family, friends, and lodge brethren to do the same. Small acts of kindness often have the greatest impact.

Most people say they want to grow in Freemasonry.
Fewer are willing to put in the steady work it actually takes.

Erick did.

Long nights.
Study.
Commitment.
Showing up when it would’ve been easier not to.

And this week, that effort paid off.

Erick has officially been certified in the 3rd Degree — an accomplishment that doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from discipline, consistency, and a genuine desire to improve.

What made the night even better?
His lodge brothers were there beside him — supporting, encouraging, and celebrating the milestone together. That’s what Brotherhood is supposed to look like.

Congratulations, Erick.
Your progress is being noticed — and more importantly, earned.

More than a race.

At the Broad Street Run, we had the opportunity to represent something bigger than ourselves—and we did just that.

✔️ Runners representing our lodge
✔️ A cheering section that brought energy all morning
✔️ Visibility for Freemasonry in the heart of Philadelphia

We didn’t just attend—we made an impression.

Thank you to everyone who ran, cheered, organized, and supported.
This is how we build momentum.

Most new members say they want to “get involved.”
Few actually do.

Four just proved what that really looks like.

Phil Morris, Erick Rutherford, Matt Lotkowski, and Paul Lotkowski didn’t wait to be asked—they showed up early, stayed engaged, and put in the work.

That’s why the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania recognized them with the Master Builder’s Award, presented by Right Worshipful Grand Master Robert D. Brink.

And that recognition means something:

Not just attendance.
Not just good intentions.

But real commitment—
to learning,
to participation,
and to taking ownership of their Masonic journey from day one.

Courses completed.
Time invested.
Standards met.

Proud of these four for setting the pace—and raising the bar for what first-year membership should look like.

Well done, Brothers.

Pocono Lodge No. 780 hosted Brother Jerry Gallagher, Palestine Roxborough Lodge #135, vice president of sales and marketing, Masonic Villages (with Brother Randy Nevarez, WM), for a Masonic Outreach Program presentation at their lodge that was also open to the public.

Brethren and community members attending learned about the Masonic Charities and Masonic Outreach Program, specifically the Masonic Widows Guild and admission to Masonic Village at Elizabethtown and Masonic Village at Dallas.

Special thanks to Brother Wayne Garafola for putting the event together!
