MASONIC FUNERAL CORPS
Monday, 26 January 2026, 7:30 p.m.
Bradford Lodge No. 123 – IndependencePLEASE NOTE: This is not our usual 5th Monday meeting date. We moved it back from 29 December to avoid interfering with everyone’s holiday schedules. As our membership ages, the need grows for some younger participants in the Funeral Corps. It is the last service we can perform for a Brother and one of the few opportunities we have to give the public some idea of who we are. If you want to have a Masonic service at your funeral, we have a form you can use to make your intentions known to your family and the funeral directors. Please contact the Secretary for a copy of the form and for answers to any questions about the funeral corps. Thanks for your support.
DISTRICT 18 MEETING
Saturday, 04 April 2026, 2:30 p.m.
(Dinner-1:00 p.m.)
Scottish Rite Temple – Covington
Mark your calendar. The meeting is required for all officers. We need 11 members plus the Master to get the attendance award. We missed this award the last time, so let’s do it this year
SECRETARY'S CORNER
2026 DUES
We still have 16 members who owe 2026 dues. Second notices will go out in March and suspension summonses in May. Save the lodge some postage and yourselves some trouble and pay now. Dues are still only $76. If you are having trouble, please let the Secretary or Master know and we can take care of the dues before it comes down to the wire. Thank you for your assistance.
FRATERNAL CONGRATULATIONS
The Lodge extends fraternal congratulations to Bro. Scott Roberts, who has recently joined Shaddai Shriners in Panama City Beach, Florida. We all wish you the best of fortune as you continue your Masonic journey.
