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.

Another loss for Masonry

Alas, we have just learned that VWB Dick Nyholm of Centralia #63 has passed away. There are no details about any services as of yet. VWB Dick was a wealth of information and mentored many Brothers over the years, including our current DDGM, VWB Clayton LaVigne. Dick always did an amazing job with the Standard Work, including a bang-up job for installations. As a Past DDGM, he was a continuing resource for all the Lodges of our district.

We will pass along more news about services when that information is available. In the meantime, just know that we are fortunate to have had Dick in our lives and that we, and the Craft, were better for his tutelage.

We will meet again in realms beyond the skies. Until then, dear friend and Brother, until then, farewell.

Services will be held at Centralia #63 - Saturday, April 30th - 1 p.m. As VWB Dick was a Mason, a member of the York Rite and a Shriner, please attend in your choice of regalia, whether it's your apron, fez or other appropriate Masonic garb.
