“Lady Julie and I traveled to Milwaukee to attend the Veteran’s Picnic at the VA Campus. What an impressive event! The Masonic Brotherhood Council provided the picnic for several of the Local Veterans which was well attended. A table was set up to memorialize the Veterans who sacrificed their lives for the Freedoms we enjoy today. It was certainly a pleasure to see MWPGM Minor King, Prince Hall F&AM of Wis., Inc. I was also able to spend time with WB Lowell Scott and WB Bill Shelley. A program was performed and I had the privilege to present one of the Veterans in attendance with a flag and personally thank him for his service. This was one of the strongest bonds of Brotherly Love one can witness by attending this event.” - Grand Master Joe Thompson

As the temperatures drop, the days get shorter, Mother Nature paints beautiful scenery throughout the State, and the birds begin their migratory flight south, we peel off yet another page from our wall calendars.

Looks like fun - I hope you didn’t feed them after midnight!

As we “Fall Back” tonight and return to Standard Time, it’s a good moment to remember a Brother who helped shape the very idea of making better use of the daylight.

Brother William Willett (1856–1915), a British builder and member of Camden Place Lodge No. 3042, was the leading advocate for what we now call Daylight Saving Time. In 1907, he published the pamphlet “The Waste of Daylight” arguing that shifting the clocks would give people more usable evening light for recreation, reduce the need for artificial lighting, and put idle daylight to better purpose. Though he passed away before the practice was widely adopted, his proposal was taken up during the First World War and has remained part of daily life ever since.

While Brother Benjamin Franklin (also a Freemason) had earlier offered a satirical suggestion about rising with the sun to save candles, it was Willett who developed and championed the practical clock-shifting system we still observe today.

So tonight, as you turn the clocks back one hour, take a moment to appreciate a Brother’s practical ingenuity - and the Masonic spirit of improving the use of both time and light.

“Fall Back” safely and enjoy further light, Brethren and friends!

If bringing little ones around your community tonight for Trick or Treating, be safe and have fun!

Those of us staying home will put on our porch lights, light up our pumpkins…and try to “stay within due bounds” by remembering that the bowl of candy by the front door is strictly off-limits until Trick or Treat hours are over! 👻

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Love seeing Masonic Lodges across the state participating in their community Halloween traditions! 🎃

Last Saturday members of our Lodge participated in the down town trick or treat! It was a blast giving out bags of popcorn and candy! Such a wonderful event, and a great example of the ways Rhinelander as a Community comes together.

Great job, Brothers! I heard the sauce was scary good!

Proud of our Brothers from Ladysmith Freemasons Lodge! They recently presented a $3,000 check to the Cornell School District’s Angel Fund food program, helping ensure students and families in their community have access to food.
