light refreshments, coffee, and sodas, and above all -- we talk, getting to know our Brothers and build our community. Be sure to check our Calendar tab, as we occasionally hold events outside the Lodge on Fellowship nights -- such as going bowling, playing bocce ball, or going to a local park to meet and grill out in the warmer months.

book, to more esoteric topics, like what are the working tools of your own profession, and what allegorical lessons can you derive from them? Socrates' Café is held at 8:30pm during designated Fellowship Nights (see Calendar or Trestle Board for scheduled dates.) This event is open to all members, visiting Masons, spouses, significant others, and prospective members.
For 2023, the Socrates' Café will explore topics related to VIRTUES. We will explore the Ben Franklin method of modeling virtuous behaviour, and discuss each of the various Virtues in depth. To assist in these discussions, handouts with background information and discussion points are being prepared by our Senior Warden, Brother Harvie Holmes. To access these hand-outs, either in advance, or to refer to them later, please click the READING RACK link below to download the materials in PDF format, or inquire at the Lodge for printed copies.

Murder is in the air! -- and it's returning for our hugely popular Murder Mystery Dinner Theater nights!
A body will be discovered: Who could have committed such a foul deed? The local constabulary can narrow it down to half a dozen or so suspects, but then it is up to you to examine the scene for clues and question the suspects. Can you finger the guilty party?
A cash bar, a delectible meal, and patrons in period attire will add to an evening sure to fill your bellies while exercising your brains! We are working with different venues to secure dates, so for now, we'll have to keep you in suspense! But check back after September 1st, and we'll reveal the mystery of when and where you can come for an intriguing night of murder, mystery, mayham -- and mirth!
