Happy 2021 Brethren! Welcome to a Great Masonic Year!

Yellow Springs Lodge No. 421 does it again! Yellow Springs Lodge No. 421 along with the Paul Dawson Fund, a Freemason, has donated $75,000.00 to the Shriners Children’s Ohio Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. The presentation of the check was from L to R WM Joe Cook, Brother John Smith, Treasurer, WB Jackie Butler, Secretary, and WB Jim Matthews, DEO 8th Masonic District, along with representatives from the Children’s hospital including WB and Past Ponente John Bull.  The Shriners Hospital of Cincinnati relocated to Dayton Ohio and will open February 2021. A news media presentation will be in March with a formal grand opening later in the year.  Shriners will operate as a “hospital within a hospital” and open on the west side of Dayton Children’s.

We’ve been too quiet about our fraternity!

Every Brother needs to become a spokesman for Freemasonry. It’s important to talk with non-Masons about who we are and what we do. Seventy-six percent of new Masons joined because it is tradition in their family, someone they respected was a Mason or their friends or co-workers are Masons. A Brother who knows of a man that he feels would make a good Mason should talk to him about our fraternity.

Help ensure the future of our great fraternity and your lodge… REPLACE YOURSELF!  Make your commitment now and click on this link:  ReplaceYourself.org
