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.

Please remember WB Al DeYoung


From Secretary WB Rich Lathrope:

Every day I scan the Daily Olympian for deaths and obituaries. Today was a particularly sad day because I noted the passing of WB Albert DeYoung. It feels strange but I must be one of the few who remember Al playing the organ in Lodge for so many years. It really makes a difference to have music in Lodge, somehow it makes it brighter and more exciting.

I never heard WB Al ever utter a cross word, he always had praise for everything. In his later years his blindness became total and he did not get out much. Our commiserations go out to Lora, his wife of 60 years.

WB Al joined us from Sunnyside Lodge where he was a Past Master. He was 88 years old and a veteran of the US Air Force.

I will obtain more information on final arrangements and inform you of them later.

Fraternally,

Rich
