Brothers,
What an amazing evening. On October 16th, the Brothers of Harmonie had the honor of escorting W:. Brother Andrew Hammer, our Lodge's 1st Patron, to Enchanted Lodge Mountain Lodge No. 252 in Olean, New York at the amazing Olean Masonic Temple. This event was hosted by the 309 Society and what an evening it was. The lecture given by W:. Hammer was moving and motivating. The progression of the restorative Masonic movement is sweeping the country. Lodges inspired by W:. Hammer's work , like Harmonie, were once considered the outliers. Today the movement is becoming much more common and the return to real Masonic practice is becoming a true force for change.

If you have not heard Brother Hammer speak or have read his book, get on it. His book is amazing and hearing him speak is a true privilege.  I would also advise you on taking a trip out the Olean Temple. It is well worth your time. The Lodge is a site to see and easily the most impressive Lodge room I have see this side of the State.   
Around the Quarry,
W:. D
