Good Morning, as mentioned in a previous post please see below from from WB Stephen Chase on his donation of the plaque seen in the photo and your chance of to win it.
Background: The plaque consists of a rare cast brass Masonic square & compasses mounted on a Honduras mahogany disc. The brass was created by Lunenburg Foundries in Lunenburg, NS and provided to the Lodge in a raffle 20 some years ago by WB Eddie Kinley (whose family owned the foundry). I won that raffle. I am pleased to put the casting together with the mahogany disc that I made recently, for the purpose of the current raffle.
The Raffle: The current raffle is intended to enable Hiram Lodge #6 to replace its aging regalia.
Ticket sales: There are 500 numbered tickets in total. The draw would be held at the June 2026 communication on 4 June. The goal is to sell all 500 to Masons, anywhere (not just in NB District 6)
The plaque is available for travel and display. Just let me know if you want it. While I am away in Feb-March I shall leave it with RWB Joel.
We are assisted in oversight of the raffle by RWB Kevin Wilson, RWB Joel MacDonald, WB Kristian Moore and myself. These brothers will have additional tickets to help spread them to other Lodges in their travels. (you can help too). The main thing is maintaining control of tickets and money collected as administration is a necessary pain.
Payment: Please send me e-transfer of funds you collect to: [email protected]. This will keep things as simple as possible. Cost is 10 dollars per ticket.
