Winchester's William Parkman Lodge of Freemasons welcomes the public to its Open House, Fall Craft Fair and Yard Sale on Sat. October 19th, 2013 9am-3pm.
The doors will be open for you to learn about the fraternity. We are having a Yard Sale, a Fall Craft Fair and the Children's Hospital Bloodmobile has been invited.
William Parkman Lodge, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary, is comprised largely of Winchester residents belonging to a society dedicated to the principle of "making good men better" by providing opportunities for fellowship, charity, education and leadership, while creating friendship and understanding between men without regard to nationality, religion, race, background, or opinion.
Freemasons trace their history back to the stonemason guilds that built Europe's cathedrals and castles. Organized in Massachusetts over 275 years ago, they have been an integral part of our state and our nation's history. Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Paul Revere, Thurgood Marshall and John Glenn are among the many famous men who joined the organization before achieving the greatness they are recognized for. Countless other men have made their communities a better place through selfless giving of their time and money. North American Freemasons donate more than $3,000,000 every day to charity; more than 70% benefiting the general public.
Come to our open house and see what we are all about. Tours and information will be available.
