Blood Drive Opens Facebook Group

In an effort to reach out to the community, and to increase the exposure of the Lodge I have opened a new "group" on the popular social networking site Facebook.

Anyone interested can go to  http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=76534013824  to follow the efforts of our Blood Drive.

11th District Reception

The 11Th Masonic District was recently honored with their annual visit from M.W. John M. Colligas, Grand master to honor the appointed Grand Lodge Officers for 2008-2009.  This year the 5Th Masonic District joined us to honor their Grand Lodge Officers

The event was held at The Zeris Inn in Mountain Lakes and was well attended by Masons from throughout the state.

Madison Lodge was well represented this year with four Grand Lodge Officers calling the Rose City Temple home.  Those Madison Brothers are Anthony Montuori, District Deputy Grand Master also Edgar Coster, Grand Pursuivant also Robert Guidice, Jr. Grand Steward and Russell G. Jayne Grand Soloist.  (Pictured are Anthony Montuori and Edgar Coster)

The evening was most enjoyable, attended by many of our ladies - the true principle supports of Masonry!

Madison Lodge's Distinguished Brothers

  During the December installation of R.W. Charles Woolsey as Worshipful Master in December we were honored with a visit by M.W. John M. Colligas Grand Master.  M.W. Colligas was presented with an honorary membership to Madison Lodge and two worthy brothers Russell L. Jayne and Robert Huntington were presented with the "Distinguished White Apron" award.  

These brothers have distinguished themselves with years of service to the craft, and we were honored that R.W. Anthony Montuori our DDGM had recommended these brothers for the award.

The evening was made even more special when R.W. Russell G. Jayne Grand Sol. was able to join the group to congratulate his father via speakerphone from Israel where he is currently studying.

Madison Lodge is fortunate to currently have four active members as Distinguished White Apron brothers, the others being G. Barry Murray and Richard Wantz. (Richard Wantz's award is from the Grand Lodge of N.Y)
