Please join us for the Stated Communication of your Lodge, to be held on Tuesday, October 20th at the Masonic Temple in Providence Forge, with dinner at 6:30 pm.

 

​2027 dues are now payable! Unfortunately, Grand Lodge has raised their dues by $15, so we have no choice but to raise our annual dues to $141. Payment may be mailed to the lodge address: P. O. Box 144, Providence Forge VA 23140, or you can just give me a check at a meeting.

​

Those Brethren who have not paid their 2026 dues (or earlier) are facing possible suspension from Masonry this year, if they don't act soon. Please let us know if you are unable to pay your dues because of financial difficulties, and we will likely be able to work with you.

 

Dates of all the upcoming fundraisers for the entire year (as well as lots of other good information) can be found at the Lodge website, which can found by clicking here.

 

Our Grand Lodge has a new membership system, Grandview. You may access the Grandview system to view and update your Masonic information by clicking here.
