Amwell Lodge No.12 F:. & A:. M:.

From the East
There is another knock at the door.  We have four new members waiting for the EA degree, and we will vote on another new member in March to make it five.  We had a good increase in membership last year and it is continuing this year.  We also elected four brothers to dual [...]

Due to inclement weather conditions, the February Communication originally scheduled for February 10th is rescheduled to February 17th, by virtue of dispensation granted by the DDGM.

Greetings From The East
We hit the ground running in 2010, and it looks like it will be a very busy year.  We’re halfway into January and have already had our stated meeting and DLI at Amwell.  The officers performed exceptionally at both.  We have 5 petitions and 4 dual members to vote on at our [...]

Brethren, welcome back from the summer!

Brethren,
We are now moving into our second month of the year and there is a lot going on. Lets see if we can’t get a better turnout for our February meeting, as opposed to what we had in January. A Fellow Craft degree is coming up on February 23rd. This is for our two candidates [...]
