It is also the Autumn’s Day Festival: Come and explore the Masonic Village and enjoy the festivities.
Rooms are available with reservation from Friday evening through Sunday morning.
The business meeting will begin in Memorial Hall at 3:00 pm.
The evening dinner begins at 5:30 pm in the Memorial Hall dining room.
The campus and rooms are given to us for the weekend, free of charge. We are very fortunate and thankful to the Masonic Village. So come and revisit the past and explore all the changes on the Patton Campus and Masonic Village. The Masonic villages offers a nice restaurant at the Brossman center and Orchard store has food available.
