One last reminder for our blood drive tomorrow! Come out and join us!

🩸That’s right, it’s happening AGAIN!🩸

Carlisle Lodge No. 260 is hosting another blood drive with our friends at the American Red Cross! We know how it is in summertime - we’re all dreaming of going on vacation and balmy days on the beach. Y’know what doesn’t take a vacation though? The critical need for donated blood in the United States. Come join us on Thursday, August 13 between 12:00 and 5:00 PM at the Carlisle Masonic Center to help give blood to patients in need in our community!

We are heartbroken to share the news of the passing of our friend, Bro. Dick Auchey, PM of Patmos Lodge No. 348. Bro. Dick was a cherished presence at Carlisle, often aiding us on our degree teams. His mastery of Masonic ritual was legendary, as was his sense of humor and devotion to the fraternal bonds of Freemasonry. He will be deeply missed by us all. Farewell, my Brother.

What a tremendous evening of Masonic fellowship at the Carlisle Masonic Center!

Brothers gathered from across the region, including members of Letort Star No. 18, Carlisle Lodge No. 260, Acacia Lodge No. 586, Hebron Lodge No. 465, and Social Friendship Lodge No. 42. It was a joy to share in the spirit of brotherhood, conversation, and unity that makes our Fraternity so meaningful.

We were also honored by the presence of MWPGM Brother Samuel King and MWPGM Brother Paul A. Hibner, who offered thoughtful and encouraging remarks to all in attendance.

Evenings like this remind us that Freemasonry is at its best when Brothers gather together in friendship, support, and shared purpose. Freemasonry needs more nights like this!

Well, well, well, would ya look at that! The District 3 Traveling Gavel returns to Carlisle AGAIN for the second time in less than a month! Congratulations to all our members who attended Eureka-West Shore’s meeting to reclaim the gavel!

Carlisle Lodge No. 260 was proud to claim District 3’s Traveling Gavel on Friday night! The Traveling Gavel serves as a point of friendly competition between the lodges of District 3. The gavel is proudly displayed at the front of the lodge room of the current holder… that is until a group of brethren from elsewhere in the district arrive to attend that lodge’s stated meeting. The gavel is then claimed by whichever visiting lodge has the most members in attendance (with a minimum of three) at the meeting. Carlisle visited our friends at Acacia Lodge No. 586 in Waynesboro on Friday night and showed up with a complement of seven brothers. It’s our first time taking the Traveling Gavel since 2021! How long will we hang onto it? 🤔
