This Facebook Webpage requires an administrator and is not updated by the current administrator who is a past master of the lodge. There are many exceptional men of high character who have provided leadership in the Finnish-American, Swedish, Danish, Jewish Community in Las Vegas, Business Community,Unions, Government etc who are and have been members of this lodge. This lodge has enjoyed a unique and special relationship with multiple grand lodges around the world with men of high moral character or who attempt to follow the teaching of some commonly accepted spiritual a moral code that would be self evident in behavior if you observed it. I am thankful for the support of members of this special fraternity and the Grand Master of the NY Grand Lodge for supporting the mission and purpose of this lodge as stated in the lodge by laws.
I caution members of the general public and masonic organizations to do their own due diligence when meeting men, regardless of social or masonic title, who claim to be members of this lodge in support of the stated mission and purpose.
