I’m interested in hearing about those of you who have periodic celebrations, observances, that aren’t the norm for your jurisdiction.
Whether they be serious, quirky, fun, etc., what do you guys do that others don’t? How does it enrich the fraternity for you?
Also, no goat stories.
Like a lot of lodges, my lodge hit its peak membership in the early '60s. By the late '80s a ton of brethren had retired to Florida. They would have annual, lodge-sponsored get-togethers so that the brethren could still stay in touch with the members of their lodge from the great white north. They stopped having those get-togethers in the mid-2000s when people were either too sick to come or had passed on.
