Check out the website for details, tickets, venues, musicians, and more: https://www.eamusicfest.com/

~ Taking our “Stage” at 3:30 pm ~ Michael DeLano ~ Sixteen might seem a little young to be considered a soulful, passionate singer/songwriter, but Michael DeLano’s natural enthusiasm on stage and his prowess on the guitar leaves audiences feeling like age truly is just a number. A true natural in front of a crowd, Michael’s sets are fun, engaging mixes of originals and popular covers.

~ Taking out “Stage” at 7:00 pm ~
Mike Zogaria ~ A singer/songwriter from Buffalo, NY whose catchy songs, unique voice & relatable lyrics are quickly becoming fan favorites at shows and online. Mike is currently performing acoustic shows & full band shows and has just released his 3rd CD the self-titled “MIKE ZOGARIA”, which is available NOW at his shows AND on all major digital download sites including iTunes, CD Baby, Emusic, Amazon, etc.

Open Installation of Officers 2019 – 2020

by

At our last communication, we elected and appointed the officers for the coming year. Our next communication will be a public installation of officers. Bring yourselves, spouses, and friends to the event. Also, this would be good for anyone interested in Masonry, it is a witness of some ritual and to see the Lodge and meet the Brothers.

As usual, dinner is at 6:30 pm the installation starts at 7:30 pm. Officers in tuxes or dark suits. Everyone else regular Masonic dress. Hope to see you all there. Have a safe and fun Memorial Day!

Lodge Night – Annual Steak Bake

by

Do not miss our annual Steak Bake on Tuesday, April 23rd at 6:30 pm. A generous piece of juicy steak, cooked to perfection over hot coals. Served with delicious sides to complement. This meeting is highly recommended by our Worshipful Master for the meal alone, but he reminds us that the Fellowship and Brotherhood make it complete. Any Erie District or traveling Brother is welcome to join us for dinner and meeting immediately following. We do ask for ample notice and a small donation to the Fellowcraft Fund. Click here to RSVP

Masonry became our way of life when we took the obligation. The Lodge is the responsibility for all of us. It is unreasonable to let a few carry the burden for everyone.

We are balloting on the newest petitioner, we will need to get the annual reports read in and accepted, along with some old business and whatever new business that may come along. I wanted to try to bring back the trash to treasure auction but with all the work we need to accomplish it will have to wait until next year.

We have some very busy times coming up in the near future. The month of May will see elections of officers, and their installation. Saturday, June 8th we have our fundraising effort participating in the East Aurora Music Fest. Tuesday, June 11th is our old timers night which will again be held at the East Aurora Firemen’s Field. To wrap up this session, on Saturday, June 15th we are hosting the Grand Master et al. for our 150th charter re-dedication. This is a good time to display and show our Masonic pride to the public, our district, and traveling Brothers.

It has been a very busy year culminating into a hectic end, but has been, is, and continues to be a very rewarding experience. Come on out and share the experience.

The dress for the evening is business casual, you can bring your own bibs but please do not use your Aprons during dinner!

Fraternally and respectfully,
