Greetings, and welcome to the Whatcom Lodge No.151 website.
Many
reasons bring inquisitive individuals to our website. Our motive is to
enlighten all seekers of Masonic wisdom. Beyond that we hope men with
strong moral values and the highest standards in honesty and integrity
will desire to look even further into the mysteries of our honorable and
ancient fraternity.
Masonry as a whole is the largest men’s fraternity in the world and has
been around longer than anyone can specifically say. Our lodge was
issued a Charter on June 13th, 1906, and at present has 80
enrolled members, with a few new brothers still working toward full
membership as Master Masons (the fully initiated and enlightened member
status in the fraternity).
Whatcom Lodge No. 151 does not recruit men to join our fraternity though
many men seek us out each year. But rather we endeavor to attract the
highest quality men through the examples set by our members in their
daily lives in their community, respective workplaces, and homes. Not
just any man can be a Mason; only those select few men that truly stand
for good, and are willing to participate as a Mason and not just say
they are one, will receive membership and the degrees of Masonry in our
lodge.
Our
members visit and participate with other lodges in the area and around
the world in an effort to bring our shared values together for the
betterment of the community and each of us as men & Masons. We work to
improve ourselves as gentlemen and participate in order to form those
strong bonds held by men of upright character. Additionally, each year
the Lodges in our District provide scholarships, for students of
academic excellence, who attend our local public schools, to assist them
in their future collegiate aspirations.
For
those fine Masons, from around the world, that find themselves visiting
our website, or visiting our area, we welcome you brothers with open
arms. Please come and bring your experiences and fellowship to our
Special and Stated meetings (the 1st and 3rd
Thursdays of the month respectively). You will find our lodge puts on
one of the finest dinners in the District prior to each meeting, and
there is always room for a little dessert and socializing afterwards.
Thank you for visiting our website. We look forward to meeting those of
you that are not Masons and are interested in learning more, and as
always, our visiting fellow brothers from around the world.
Sincerely,
Monte Thompson, Worshipful Master
Whatcom Masonic Lodge #151 |
