Dover Lodge #489

Brethren of Dover Lodge, we all know that with so many Masonic bodies it can be difficult to juggle multiple calendars. As a result we often don’t see timing conflicts before they occur. As a service to you and all Brethren, we are now integrating calendars from the various bodies into one spot on our page! So far we have our Lodge calendar, the Scottish Rite Valley of Cleveland, Al Koran Shrine, and soon the 22nd District calendar. Best of all, you can add it to your personal calendar by clicking the “+” sign in the lower right!

There is now an Amateur Radio Club in Westlake Ohio! Several Dover Lodge members and family have started AD0VR, a Masonically-organized Ham Radio club to serve the Northeast Ohio community.

In addition to providing articles of interest on their web site, AD0VR.org, the club is approved by the Amateur Radio Relay League to provide examinations for people to earn their Ham radio licenses. Yet another way Dover Lodge is serving its community!

On Thursday November 5th in addition to our Annual Meeting, Dover Lodge held an education session entitled “The Complete Solomon”. We were fortunate to have our District Education Officer present for the evening’s presentation.

The historic and legendary King Solomon is familiar to Master Masons, but the details of this Biblical King’s life are incredibly interesting and often surprising. During the discussion we explored the facts as related by Jewish Scripture including a study of the Hebrew aspects of his name, contemporary culture, ancient Israel’s interaction with 21st Dynasty Egypt and a blossoming Ethiopia, and some of the myths and falsehoods that surround this legendary king.

Dover Lodge provides premier education for Freemasons, and our DEO remarked in very glowing terms regarding the depth and engagement of the program. Please come join us for your edification in our Royal Art!
