GRAND LODGE DAY
Saturday June 4th, was Grand Lodge Day this year. Several Brothers from Solomon attended on this beautiful day. The food, fun and fellowship was plentiful as well as the sweets for the children. Solomon was once again honored with the Virginius V. Harrison award, marking the 3rd consecutive year and 4 out of the last 5. This award is presented in recognition and appreciation to the lodge that attains the highest percentage of participation from its membership for the annual appeal in support of Highfield, The Masonic Home of Delaware. The efforts perpetuate the spirit of generosity and concern initiated by Grand Master Virginius V. Harrison in 1895 to provide comfort and well-being of their fraternal brethern in their advanced years. Congrats and great job to all the brethern of Solomon Lodge.

PAST MASTER’S NIGHT
April is Past Master’s month in Solomon Lodge No. 36. To kick off at our stated this month, we had a formal dinner with 8 Past Master’s and 15 Brothers in attendance. The meal was awesome as prepared by our Senior Steward and his Lady. During our meeting, SD Binasiewicz recalled all the Past Master’s in Solomon’s history, highlighting charter members, key accomplishments and others notes of interest. Following our meeting, Brother Wheeler surprised all with a fine desert of Bananas Foster, which capped off the evening in style.
We will continue honoring our Past Master’s later in April by putting them to work! They will be conferring the FC Degree on EA Morris on April 27th, 7:30 PM at the Newark Masonic Temple.
