Lodge of Instruction (LOI)

What Happens at a Meeting?
A typical lodge meeting at Lodge of Harmony No. 255 has two distinct parts:
The Lodge Meeting
Formal proceedings in the lodge room. This may include ceremonial work (initiation, passing, or raising of candidates), lodge business, and updates. The Worshipful Master presides from the chair, supported by the lodge's officers.
The Festive Board
A formal dinner following the lodge proceedings, at which members, guests, and visitors dine together. The festive board is an important part of Masonic fellowship — a relaxed and sociable occasion with toasts and conversation.
