Annual Communication

168th Annual Communication

Three hundred years ago, foundations were laid that would inspire and unite generations of gentlemen - foundations that continue to be built upon today. Important as ever, the Annual Communication serves as a way to unite, both in spirit and purpose. It's an opportunity to learn to be a better leader for your lodge; to recognize the accomplishments of our peers; to salute the grand master and welcome the new one. It's a time to honor the bonds formed between brothers. But during this 300th year of Freemasonry, it's different. It's your once-in-a-lifetime chance to truly celebrate all of it-to reflect on the last 300 years as you look to the future. Make plans to join in the celebration today. Here's to year 301!
