Brothers,
Harmonie as a member of the Buffalo German Community used to be a very big deal for the city and the Lodge. It seems as the German population decreased and our Lodge’s membership evolved past the German community our involvement waned. This is a tragedy as Harmonie is one of the oldest remaining German heritage groups left in Buffalo.
W:. Daniel J. Di Natale (obviously not of overtly German descent but his grandma is German! It counts.) was invited to speak at the The Steuben Society of America - Samuel Helm Unit #144 Buffalo, a newly formed group of Buffalonians of German descent . Unlike other heritage groups this one is compose of much younger members much like our Lodge. They invited W:. Di Natale to speak on the history of German Freemasonry in Buffalo and its role in the formation of our city. It was a wonderful conversation held around the dinner table at the Black Forest Adler (Located at 2447 Niagara Falls Blvd Amherst , NY 14228 – amazing German food.) It was wonderful to share the rich German heritage that Harmonie Lodge has preserved over the years. The program was well received by the group. They were a wonderful! Make sure to check them out on Facebook - search The Steuben Society of America - Samuel Helm Unit #144 or check out their national page http://steubensociety.org.
What makes it even more fun is the Baron Von Steben was also a Freemason.
