Ladies Night 2010

Union Lodge, partnering with Cabarrus Lodge, is presenting what appears will be a very enjoyable and affordable Ladies Night Banquet.

It will be November 13th at 6:00pm at the Union Lodge Masonic Temple. Tickets are for sale at $10 each (no reduced price for children).

There will be entertainment provided by the Jones Brothers (bluegrass), and a customarily enjoyable meal. Only 150 tickets have been printed, and seating is limited in the fellowship hall, so tickets will be required for admittance. This is not intended as a money-making project. It is a great value.

If you would like to purchase tickets (the banquet is open to all our members, their families and friends), you can contact me and I will determine if someone has tickets that you can purchase.

At this price, I suggest you do not wait until the last minute to try to find tickets.

2nd Degree - July 20th

We will have a Fellow Craft Degree on Tuesday, July 20th. Dinner at 6:30 pm. Degree at 7:30 pm.

Hezekiah Alexander House Website

This is a copy of the announcement from WB Clayton Wright....

Today a new Masonic website begins its life: www.AlexanderHomesite.org

January 20, 2010 Today a new Masonic website begins its life: www.AlexanderHomesite.org Here is that site, to you and the other leaders of North Carolina Masonry. The developing story of this incredible house, built by one of the Masonic founders of Charlotte, has taken many years to come to light.

I invite you to print it out so you can have your own hard copy. It’s just a few pages of text and illustrations. Some of the facts have previously appeared in The Scottish Rite Journal, The North Carolina Mason, National Geographic, the new website TreasuresofNorthCarolinaMasonry.org and in our Charlotte Scottish Rite temple exhibit. This document contains all the discoveries to date.

In the Charlotte hotbed of revolution and Masonry, Hezekiah Alexander made his residence the focus of both—not to mention eleven children. His house was all but forgotten by history and Masonry for two centuries. Now it’s wake-up time! With warm wishes, Walter J. Klein 33
