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.

Harmony well-represented at Cornerstone

We had a fantastic showing from Harmony at yesterday's cornerstone ceremony arranged by Robert Morris #97. Most of the non-Grand Lodge visitors seemed to be from Harmony!

Thanks very much to:
RWB Dave Owen (OK, he had to be there!)

WB Rich Lathrope

Derek Lathrope

Hank Liendecker

WB Ben Schatz

Ray Drummond

Russ Wilhite (plus lady Brenda Wilhite)

VWB Ian Ricker (honorary member)


From Robert Morris #97 WM Glenn Aldrich:


GOOD JOB BROTHERS! AS YOU ALREADY KNOW THE TRUTH, IT WENT WELL BECAUSE OF YOU-ALL. A BEAUTIFUL JOB ON AN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY!

We raised awareness of Masons and the stature of Robert Morris Lodge and at the same time gave the school a great boost to their already successful school. Kids figured out right away that the Program must be pretty serious what with all those men dressed in black & regalia. The 7th grade kids had seen video of Templars, etc and were agog that Masons are actually alive and here!
