The Keys to the City

Dover Lodge would like to offer its congratulations to Most Worshipful Brother Bradford A. Goebel, Grand Master of Masons in Ohio, who received the Key to the City of Cincinnati Ohio this past weekend. Mayor Mark Mallory of Cincinnati presented the key to Most Worshipful Brother Goebel during Shrine/Mason Day at the Reds at Great American Ball Park. Most Worshipful Brother Goebel then threw out the first pitch of a 9-0 victory for the Reds against the Giants.

Pictures of our Grand Master on the display board are below (click to enlarge). Congratulations Most Worshipful!

Dover Lodge Summer Education

Brethren, come join us at Dover Lodge for two education sessions this summer aimed at erecting and ornamenting your Masonic building with exquisite craftsmanship and adornment. We will be studying both the Entered Apprentice and Fellowcraft degrees in depth, including tracing boards and guiding explanations to help you get underway with your Master Work. The dates and times are as follows:

Entered Apprentice Study – Saturday July 23rd 2011 at 7:30pm sharp

Fellowcraft Study – Saturday August 27th 2011 at 7:30pm sharp

I am pleased to share with you that these sessions will be led by Brother Tim Costello, our Lodge Education Officer, who is already underway with preparing for these valuable sessions. Even if you’re a long-time Master Mason, you will without a doubt gain much from these sessions!

You may be inclined to ask: Why is Dover Lodge doing education during the summer? Continue Reading

A Look At Ourselves

We at Dover Lodge recently conducted an anonymous survey of our active members that are a part of our online community. Our desire was to determine what our Brethren value about their Masonic experience, and how they feel they contribute to the atmosphere that is Dover Lodge. What follows are the results of that poll, with the top 3 responses in each category. Our hope is that this gives visitors to our web site a feeling for what it’s like to be a member of, or to visit, Dover Lodge:

Question #1 was open to multiple selections: What aspects of your experience at Dover Lodge are most important to you?

92% said “Further Masonic Education”
77% said “The spiritual connection with diverse Brethren”
69% said “The opportunity to socialize”
