Upcoming events can always been seen on the lodge website, http://www.berwynlodge.org as well as on the Berwyn Lodge Facebook page maintained by Bro. Alejandro Cabral. By the time you read this, we will have held our lodge picnic (thanks especially to Bros. Gadi Levi and Ed Powell), participated in Berwyn’s Oktoberfest, held a Friend’s Night / Open House at the lodge, and conferred two more Third Degrees (congratulations to new Master Masons Josue Nunez and Juan Merced Jr., as well as to Bro. Ed who received his MM degree since our last article)! Those degrees were my debut performance as King Solomon, and I want to thank the Brethren for their support and confidence.

A shout out goes to W.B. Pat Coletta with congratulations on getting out the hospital and wishes for a rapid recovery.

Haven’t been to Berwyn in a while? Come on back – we have lots of great things brewing. And you can enjoy “DJ Berwyn” spinning tracks Masonic and otherwise.

Visitors from Benin

Berwyn Lodge had the pleasure of hosting three visitors from the Republic of Benin (West Africa) during the final stated meeting of W.B. Terry Young’s term as Master. W.B. Romain Atikossi, 33º Grand National Inspector of the Grand Lodge of Benin, together with his sons, Bro. Stravadjo Atikossi (Fellowcraft, Marion Lodge # 6 of Iowa, scheduled to receive his 3rd degree on June 29) and Mr. Dave Atikossi, joined the Berwyn brethren for dinner and Bros. Romain and Stravadjo attended the stated meeting and introduced Dave, who expects to petition for degrees in Berwyn Lodge, after the closing.  Bro. Romain is visiting from Benin; his sons reside in Illinois. During the meeting, Bro. Romain offered fraternal greetings and expressed his interest in ties between his lodge and Berwyn; he expects to return to Chicago again in November.

Easter Party photos

The Berwyn Lodge Easter party was, by all accounts, a great success, with kids enjoying food, balloon animals, and easter egg hunting. Some photos from the event taken by Bro. Adalberto are now posted in the Photos section and appear below. I’m looking for other photos, as well, so if you have some you’d like posted, please email them to me!
