Step Up / Junior Officer

April 29, 2014 Palmer Lodge will host an emergent meeting for next year’s officer line to ‘step up’ to the next chairs to show they can complete the work required to open and close the Lodge. It is hoped that a couple of brethren who have been preparing, will also prove their proficiency on this evening.

Fort Degree

The ‘Palmer Lodge Fort Degree’ is returning after having been on hiatus for some seven years. Over the past number of years brethren have inquired if and when the ‘Fort Degree’ will be brought back.

This is the year. With the year 2014 being a remembrance of the end of War of 1812, a celebration of 200 years of peace and friendship between Canada and the United States, it is fitting that we, Masons of Fort Erie also recognize such an auspicious occasion.
