Visit to Pride of the Valley #95

United under the flag of Brotherly Love, eight Brothers from the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Ohio had the privilege of sitting in Lodge with Prince Hall Masons Saturday night.  As Masons should, they met on the Level, acted by the Plumb and parted upon the Square. 

The group of men, led by a delegation from High Point Lodge #773 and joined by Brothers from Madisonville-Madeira-Mariemont #419 and Washington #17, made the short drive to Pride of the Valley #95 in search of that which has been lost among many Masons for years.  They were seeking to build ties with Prince Hall Masons and join them in their search for Light.  Light was truly found in Lodge that night as they were welcomed as Brothers into the Lodge and sat quietly as three men returned their Master Mason proficiency.  This was followed by an amazing educational presentation by RWB Fanon Rucker on the meaning of “Free” as it applies to Freemasons.  The night ended with a wonderful meal and great fellowship among men who had only just met, but talked like old friends.  Plans are being made to continue this journey towards closer ties with the Brothers from Pride of the Valley #95 with a visit by them to High Point Lodge in the near future.  We at High Point look forward to welcoming them into our Lodge and returning the hospitality that was shown as we sat with them Saturday night. 

So Mote it Be.
