Welcome, Brethren and those who are interested in becoming masons, to the web site of Charlevoix Lodge #282. This site is meant to be a tool to let you, masons and non masons, know what is going on at our lodge, communicate upcoming events, and how to become a mason if you are not one, already.

We meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, twelve months a year. Dinner is served at 6:30, just before the regular communication, which follows promptly at 8:00.

For those of you who are not Masons, you may be asking yourself, "'What is freemasonry?" Freemasonry can mean something slightly different to each man, but there are certain characteristics that all masons should have. Our Michigan Grand Lodge site posted this, as one man observed the question of "What is freemasonry?"

"A Mason is a man who professes a faith in God. As a man of faith, he uses the tools of moral and ethical truths to serve mankind. A Mason binds himself to like-minded men in a Brotherhood that transcends all religious, ethnic, social, cultural, and educational differences. In fellowship with his Brothers, a Mason finds ways in which to serve his God, his family, his fellowman and his country. A Mason is dedicated. He recognizes his responsibility for justice, truth, charity, enlightenment, freedom and liberty, honesty and integrity in all aspects of human endeavor. A Mason is such a man."

These such Masons have been around for a long time. Freemasonry has been a part of America for over two hundred and fifty years, before the Revolutionary War. It is one of this country's oldest and biggest fraternity. It is "A Way of Life" where brotherhood under God is paramount. This being that a mason should always uphold friendship, morality, and brotherly love, while promoting a man to continually bettering one's self.

We will be updating this site on a regular basis, so bookmark us, and see what is going on at Charlevoix Lodge #282. We hope this site is helpful and has given you some insite to Masonry and what it is.
