Who are the Masons?

Masons in Olympia, Tumwater and Lacey congregate at Harmony Lodge #18, the friendliest Lodge in Thurston County, WA. Our Lodge includes a broad cross-section of the community and we welcome men over the age of 18 who want to improve themselves by associating with like-minded peers. Our membership is distributed fairly evenly across age groups and by profession, although because of the proximity to Fort Lewis (JBLM), many of our members are active duty military or veterans.

The Masonic Fraternity is the oldest Fraternity in the world. The Masonic Family includes Masons as well as organizations for their ladies, couples, and youth.

The Masonic Family provides more than $2 million a day to charitable activities such as hospitals, youth scholarship, and those less fortunate than we.

To inquire about Masonry, contact our Secretary.

Master's Charge Competition - Sept. 2nd

Harmony #18 is hosting an all-Masonic Master's Charge competition on Tuesday, September 2nd. The Master’s Charge competition is where brethren compete in demonstrating their abilities to perform the closing Master’s Charge. Not only is this a wonderful piece of poetry, it is also Monitorial – which means that we can invite our ladies and guests into Lodge to witness a part of our rites. If you fancy your chances and would like to be a contestant please contact Secretary Rich Lathrope (rich.lathrope@comcast.net). Competition will be open to all Masons of all degrees and Lodges. Time for all you people from other Lodges to step up and enter! Due to time constraints, we are accepting the first ten (or so!) Brothers who put their names in the hat. If you would like to brush up on the Charge and have misplaced your WA Monitor, the Charge is spelled out on this website, under memory work. Good luck!

Oh, did we mention that this evening is also the official visit of the Grand Master, MWB Douglas Tucker? Dinner will be at 6:00 p.m. Please RSVP for the meal to Junior Warden Kurt Schmid (45trout@comcast.net) so that we can be sure to have plenty of food and libation for you all.
