We are Freemasons
located in Clinton, Michigan, Lenawee County ~ dedicated to our craft,
working to improve ourselves, our community, country and world through brotherly love,
relief and truth..
If you are a Mason, we welcome you
Brother. If you are not a Mason, we welcome you and would like to share our story.
Did you know that the Masons of the
American Revolution changed the course of history? That the "Father of our
Country", George Washington, served the fraternity as faithfully as he served the new
nation? That many of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, including its author,
Thomas Jefferson, were Masons? That Harry Truman, one of several Mason-Presidents of the
United States, served as Grand Master of his Grand Lodge? That the
most decorated soldier of World War II, Audie Murphy, was a Mason as well?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Masonry is considered to be one of
the oldest and most prestigious fraternities in the history of the world. A bold
statement to say the least, but nevertheless true. It is founded upon a
non-denominational belief in one God, the innate goodness of mankind, and examples and
lessons symbolized in architecture. The purposes of Masonry include making good men
better through such things as friendship, morality and charity. A man must request a
petition for membership -- Freemasons do not "invite" candidates. If
you don't know a Mason and you want more information, please e-mail us.

good that I can do or any kindness that I can show to my fellow human being, let me do it
now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again " ~

Greetings from The East,
It is an honor and privilege to be elected to serve the
fraternity for the year. The Lodge is set for success which shows in the
incredible line of officers for 2008.
It is still amazing to me that a fraternity that started
with a small band of men centuries ago can be as alive and exiting today as
it was then. That men of all ages, creeds and beliefs can come
together as brothers. That we have participated in the history of the
past and creation of history for tomorrow. One fraternal bond that
ties men together not only for mutual benefit, but for the benefit of all
mankind. Freemasonry is alive and well.
This is a great and exciting year for Clinton as we grow.
The Lodge has had a number of new members join over the past few years which
has made it possible for us to do more as a brotherhood. Young men are
flocking to institutions like ours for that core bond of friendship and
brotherhood. We are continuing this momentum by seeking men who want
to join in the greatest fraternal bond.
We will continue to show others why our ancient fraternity
is the best by staying true to the core tenants of Brotherly Love, Relief
and Truth. To this end we will be spending time travelling to our
local district brethren, being focused on our community and working to
improve ourselves in Freemasonry.
Visiting brothers, please feel free to join us for our
communications and encourage others to Share The Secret! If you are
interested in learning more about our fraternity you can contact an officer.
Wes Tapp, WM
