Greetings, brethren! This is Matthew Laubsch, Worshipful Master of Newtown Lodge No. 427, reminding you all once again about our upcoming degree night taking place tomorrow, October 21st, starting at 7:00 PM. We will be conferring a total of 3 Entered Apprentice degrees that night, and we highly encourage you to bear witness to such an enlightening occasion! As always, all of our degrees are also open to other Masons from beyond our district & jurisdiction, so if you know of anyone who might be interested in seeing our great ritual work, feel free to tug on their cable-tows & invite them out! There’ll be some light desserts and refreshments being served in the dining hall as well once the night has ended.

Thank you for tuning in for this important message, and I hope to see you with us this Wednesday evening! Take care & stay safe.

Good morning, my brothers! This is Matthew Laubsch, the Worshipful Master of Newtown Lodge No. 427, calling with a few important & exciting reminders to help get you up to speed on what’s lined up for the month of October. First, we will be having our monthly rehearsal night this evening, October 7th, beginning at 7 PM. There are a total of 3 new candidates who are slated to receive their Entered Apprentice Mason degree later this month, so we strongly encourage you to swing by & brush up on some of the ritualistic work in order to help make a good first impression on these gentlemen as they each begin their Masonic journey. In case you’re wondering when the degree conferrals will be taking place, Newtown Lodge will be hosting an extra meeting on Wednesday, October 21st, starting at 7 PM. We would be delighted to see you in attendance! This degree night is also open to other Masons from outside our district & jurisdiction, so please help spread the word. Light desserts and refreshments will also be served in the dining hall at the conclusion of the meeting.

Lastly, we will be holding our next stated meeting a week from today, which will be on Wednesday, October 14th, beginning at 7:00 PM, with dinner being served at 6 PM courtesy of DeLorenzo’s Tomato Pies! This meeting will also be our Past Masters Night, so if you have previously served in the east, please make every effort to attend & try filling in some of the officer chairs if you so desire. We want to make sure you get recognized for all your hard work and everlasting commitment to our great fraternity! There will also be a short program for the evening on ‘What Does Freemasonry Offer the World?’, which will help give some deeper insight into why we continue to do what we do.

More announcements will be broadcasted here very soon as we cruise through the Masonic month. Thank you all for tuning in, and I look forward to seeing you in my travels!

Good morning, brothers far and wide! This is Matthew Laubsch, Worshipful Master of Newtown Lodge No. 427. Can you believe it? Our summer break has come to a close, and we’re back in action once again. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves and had lots of fun with your family and loved ones; can’t wait to hear you share some neat stories! We’ve got a heck of a lot going on this month, but for right now, I’ll fill you in on what we’ve got lined up for the week. First & foremost, our September lodge rehearsal meeting will be held tonight, September 2nd, starting at 7:00 PM. Being as we’ve got a good handful of new candidates making their way through the petition process, we’ll primarily be going over the full balloting process from start to finish. I strongly urge all of you to try attending if you’re able to, especially any newer members who may not be too familiar with it. Next, we will be hosting a blood drive inside of our lodge building on Tuesday, September 8th, from 1 PM to 6 PM, courtesy of the Miller-Keystone Blood Center. As with previous blood drives, appointments are highly preferred, and donors must present a valid ID upon arrival. Last, but certainly not least, our September stated meeting will be taking place next Wednesday, September 9th, beginning at 7 PM, with a catered dinner being served in our dining hall at 6:15. The program for the evening will be a more laid-back, lighthearted presentation by brother Barry Oppenheim on Hollywood’s Vision of the American Cowboy. Come on out, catch up with your fellow brethren, and help spread that brotherly love around! That’s all I’ve got for you at the moment; more will be released here shortly. Take care, everyone.

Just wanted to bring you two noteworthy reminders of a couple of events taking place this week. First, our district will be starting our first summer School of Instruction session at Newtown Lodge tonight, July 14th, beginning at 7 PM.

These sessions are open to all members of the fraternity regardless of degree level, so we strongly encourage you to attend & learn something valuable with us if you’ll be available!

In addition, Newtown Lodge will be holding our next summer movie night this weekend! We will be showing Zootopia 2 outside on the lawn this Saturday, July 18th, starting at dusk. Just like in previous years, all of our movies are entirely free & open to the general public, including families, friends, neighbors, or anyone else who might be interested in stopping by! We’ll have fresh, homemade popcorn available on-site, plus a wide assortment of candy & cold beverages to choose from.

Hello, brothers! This is Matthew Laubsch, Worshipful Master of Newtown Lodge No. 427, hopping on real quick to inform you of a couple worthwhile activities taking place for the week. Firstly, don’t forget that District 8 will be having our monthly School of Instruction meeting at Newtown Lodge this evening, June 15th, starting at 7:30 PM, with a tasty catered meal in the dining hall at 6:30 PM before we start. All elected & appointed officers are encouraged to attend, along with any newer members of the fraternity across all degree levels! Come on out, hang with your fellow brethren, and start thinking about any parts of lodge ritual you might want to start learning.

Also, Newtown Lodge is proud to kick off our first outdoor summer movie night for the year! We will be showing Tangled right on our property this Saturday, June 20th, starting at dusk. As in years past, all movies are completely free & open to the general public, including families, friends, neighbors, or anyone else who wants to stop by and join in on the action! There will be fresh, homemade popcorn available, plus all sorts of candy & cold beverages of your choosing. For anyone interested in attending, please don’t hesitate to call me directly.

Thank you all so much for all that you do for our lodge & the rest of the fraternity; your efforts will never go unnoticed. Stay cool out there, be nice to each other, and I hope to reconnect with you soon!

Good morning, brothers! This is Matthew Laubsch, Worshipful Master of Newtown Lodge No. 427, bringing you a few important reminders before we set sail into our summer break. I suppose you could say things are ‘heating up’, so pay close attention! First, we will be holding our June stated meeting on Wednesday, June 10th, beginning at 7:00 PM. Prior to the start of this meeting, we will be hosting our Masonic scholarship award recipients inside of our main lodge hall promptly at 6:30 PM. Please make it an effort to come out & help show your support for these high school graduates, as some of them might become worthy contenders for the fraternity in the future! Also, there will be a table lodge ceremony in the dining hall as part of our meal for the evening, which will consist of pot roast, mashed butternut squash, carrots, succotash, corn bread, and strawberries & ice cream for dessert. If you have never witnessed something like this being done before, I highly encourage you to check it out!

Additionally, I’m pleased to inform you that there will be another opportunity to see a degree conferral in our neighboring jurisdiction, despite the Prince Hall 3rd degree cancellation! Our friends over at Beverly-Riverside Lodge No. 107 in Riverside, NJ will be performing the Fellowcraft degree on the very next night after our June stated meeting, which will be Thursday, June 11th, beginning at 7:00 PM, with their dinner being served at 6:00. The address to this lodge is 621 South Chester Avenue, Riverside, NJ 08075. For those brethren who haven’t yet watched one of the craft degrees outside of Pennsylvania, I would recommend attending that night if your schedule permits! Dress code for all visiting guests will simply be a dark suit & tie, and I will be bringing extra Newtown Lodge aprons to wear just in case. For anyone looking to join me that evening, please either contact me via email or give me a call/text to help lock in your reservation. This invite is also extended to the other members of the great 8th Masonic district, so let’s try to show as much brotherly love & support as we possibly can!

Finally, if you are a new Master Mason & are interested in completing the Master Builder program, please be sure to keep your requirement checklist with you so that I can sign off on it. Thank you so much for tuning in, and have a great rest of your Friday!

Good morning, my brothers! This is Matthew Laubsch, Worshipful Master of Newtown Lodge No. 427, putting out a real quick reminder about our upcoming rehearsal meeting, which will be our last table lodge practice session before we have our June stated meeting. This will be taking place tomorrow, June 3rd, beginning at 7:00 PM. Please try to carve out some time in your schedule to attend this rehearsal, as our table lodge ceremony will be a very special & memorable event for us all, and must be performed with confidence.
That’s all I have for you at the moment. Take care of yourselves, be nice to each other, and continue to spread brotherly love & affection! See you all soon.

Greetings, brethren. This is Matthew Laubsch, your Worshipful Master of Newtown Lodge No. 427. If you have not already read the blast email that was dispersed throughout our district, it is my sad duty to inform you all that the upcoming Prince Hall 3rd degree conferral at Aaron Lodge No. 9 has been canceled. This, too, comes at very short notice, and I deeply apologize for it. However, on the flip side, there will still be another opportunity to see a degree in the same neighboring jurisdiction! Our friends over at Beverly-Riverside Lodge No. 107 of Riverside, NJ will be conferring the Fellowcraft degree on the night after our next stated meeting, which will be Thursday, June 11th, beginning at 7:00 PM, with dinner being served beforehand at 6:00. Their address is 621 South Chester Avenue, Riverside, NJ 08075. For those of you who haven’t watched something like this before, I highly suggest attending that evening if you’re able to. The dress code will just be a dark suit & tie, and I will still be bringing extra Newtown Lodge No. 427 aprons to wear in case you need one. For anyone interested in joining me that evening, please either contact me via email or give me a call to help secure your reservation. This invite is also extended to the other members of District 8, so let’s try to bounce back from this sudden cancellation & help show our support! Thank you for tuning in, and looking forward to reuniting again soon!

Good evening, my brothers! This is Matthew Laubsch, Worshipful Master of Newtown Lodge No. 427. I hope you’ve all been having an enjoyable Memorial Day holiday. As we sit here and reflect back on what makes this day so special to us, let us not forget the lives of those who risked it all for the betterment of our great country & the unwavering commitment they adhered to.

Just wanted to give you all a few quick reminders as we move through the last full week of May. First, we will be having another practice session for our June table lodge this Wednesday, May 27th, beginning at 7 PM. If you’re able to come meet with us that night, please mark your calendars & try setting aside time in your schedules, as it’s not too often that we hold special events such as this one. We will mainly be going over seating arrangements & the overall flow between each of the 3 toasts. For those of you who would like to invite Masons from other jurisdictions (in the tri-state area or elsewhere) to attend our table lodge next month, you’re more than welcome to do so as well.

Furthermore, there is an upcoming opportunity to attend a Prince Hall degree right over the river! Aaron Lodge No. 9 of Hamilton, NJ will be conferring the Master Mason degree this upcoming Saturday, May 30th, starting promptly at 12:00 noon, with their meal being served at the conclusion of this degree. These gentlemen are located at 10 Rennie Street, Hamilton Township, NJ 08610. If you have never seen anything like this done before, I STRONGLY encourage you all to try attending that day if time permits. Prince Hall ritual is truly something to behold, and as part of my many initiatives as your Worshipful Master for 2026, I’d like to foster as much engagement & brotherly love as possible between our neighboring jurisdictions. The dress code for this degree will be a dark suit & tie, with the elected officers requested to wear full tuxes & regalia. I will be bringing extra Newtown Lodge aprons to wear, should you need one. For anyone interested in partaking with me that afternoon, please register online through our Grand View system by logging on, clicking the Events tab, and confirming your RSVP via the embedded calendar. This invite is also extended to the other members of the 8th Masonic district, so let’s try to pack the house and represent in style!

Last, but certainly not least, if you have just been raised to the 3rd degree in Freemasonry within the past year & are setting out to achieve the prestigious Master Builder award, please make sure to keep your requirement checklist handy so that I can sign off on it. Thank you, brethren, for all that you do for our great fraternity, and I hope to see you all very shortly!
