Zenobia Shrine Friendship night in the 5th

published by mastermason on Wed, 10/17/2018 - 12:30

Zenobia Shriners is bringing a Friendship Night to the 5th Masonic District on November 2 at Fulton Lodge #238 in Delta. Social at 6:00pm Dinner at 7:00

Our Masonic Organizations have a common goal of “GROWTH.” To achieve this growth, we have found it extremely beneficial to offer an overview of Freemasonry, its history and its strengths. This program is informative not only to potential Masons, but also to long-time Masons.

This event is tailored to new candidates and their ladies. Information being shared is well-suited to provide a rudimentary understanding of our fraternity.

This event is offered as a no-cost event for candidates, sponsors, and their ladies. A small fee is charged ($10) to those who would like to attend, but do not bring a potential Mason with them.

Appetizers, dinner, and beverages are provided.

Attire is casual

While Zenobia Shriners conducts this event, we only spend a small portion of the night on Shriners. Keep in mind, Freemasonry in North America spends $3 million per day on charitable causes. The Shriners account for $2.7 million of that number.

Please spread the word as this is a “Can’t Miss” event. We ask that at a minimum at least 10 candidates or more attend.

Please make your reservation to this event by calling: 419-297-4779
