🩸 Give Blood. Give Hope. Give Back. ❤️

Masonic District 20 is hosting a blood drive, and we’re inviting **all family and friends** to join us in making a difference!

Every donation has the power to help someone in need, and there’s an extra reason to participate; through the Masonic Blood+Organ Donation Program, each unit collected earns $10 that goes to Jaffa Shrine to support the Hospital Transportation Fund. These funds help provide transportation assistance for children and families getting to important medical appointments.

It’s a simple way to help your community while supporting a program that makes a real difference for kids and their families.

Want to donate? Please register online to secure your preferred timed appointment slot: www.RedCrossBlood.org

Bring your family, bring your friends, and help us make this blood drive a success! 🩸

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day from the Brethren of Mountain Lodge No. 281! 🇺🇸

Today we celebrate the birth of our nation and the enduring principles of liberty, equality, and the pursuit of a more perfect union. As Freemasons, we are especially grateful for the freedoms that allow us to gather in fellowship, serve our communities, and live according to the principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.

As you enjoy time with family and friends, we wish you a safe, joyful, and meaningful Fourth of July.

Happy Independence Day, and God bless America!

Mountain Lodge No. 281 was honored to welcome two new Entered Apprentice Masons this evening.

Tonight marked the beginning of their Masonic journey; a journey of learning, self-improvement, fellowship, and service to others. It is always a special evening when new Brothers take their first steps in the Craft, and we are grateful to have shared this important milestone with them.

Congratulations to our newest Brothers, and thank you to all who helped make the evening memorable. We look forward to walking beside them as they continue their journey in Freemasonry.

Welcome, Brothers!

What a special evening at Mountain Lodge No. 281!

We were honored to welcome Right Worshipful Brother Bud Baker, Grand Senior Warden of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, along with Altoona native Right Worshipful Brother David Ingram, Grand Junior Warden of the Grand Lodge of Japan.

The evening was a wonderful reminder that while we may come from different Lodges, Districts, and even Grand Jurisdictions, the bonds of Freemasonry unite us as Brothers. It was a memorable night filled with fellowship, shared experiences, Masonic insight, and renewed appreciation for our worldwide Fraternity.
