A Message from the Hat

To the visitors to our website, I welcome you to look at our History and visit the Past Masters site. We are proud that our History starts in the early 1800’s and the lodges that make up our current Lodge name has so many combined lodges that have merged. We have a strong membership with Military, both past & present, Students, Professors, Lawyers, Railroaders, Carpenters, and so many more White Collar and Blue Collar Professions. A great mix of Men that care for their Families, Community and our Fraternity. Our motto is “Making Good Men Better” and our members are living proof. Come join us !
