Open House Jerry Collins, Secretary 4990 Kessler Blvd East Drive Indianapolis, Indiana 46220 Saturday, January 21, 2012 Saturday, February 25, 2012 Saturday, March 17, 2012 10:30am - 1:00pm Members of Millersville Masonic Lodge #126 will be holding an Masonic Information Open House at Millersville Lodge located at 4990 Kessler Blvd East Drive. This open house will provide families in the community an opportunity to learn more about this "ancient and honorable institution" which is said to be the oldest fraternity in the world. You can also learn more about other organizations, founded by Freemasons, for women and teenagers. These include Eastern Star, Rainbow for Girls, Jobs Daughters, and the Order of DeMolay. Snacks and coffee will be served. The purpose of Masonry in Indiana is to "make good men better." This is accomplished through helping members focus on their own personal growth, the success of their families, and reaching out to support the greater community. Masons promote the principles of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth. With the success of movies like "National Treasure", and "Da Vinci Code", there is a lot of information and misinformation about Masonry or Freemasonry. Many people are aware of the work of the Shriners' Hospital for Crippled and Burned Children. Perhaps you didn't know that every Shriner is a Freemason. Many of the Founding Fathers of the United States were members of Freemasonry including our first President, George Washington. Local Scottish Rite masons support the 32° Learning Center for Children, provide scholarships for students and support other local school functions. Community involvement and support is very important to our members. Masonry is open to all men over the age of 18 years of age, who are considered to be of good character. Masons don't discuss personal things like politics or religion in their meetings. Freemasons come from every country, sect, and opinion. A Lodge room is a place where Christian, Jew, Muslim, and others can meet together "on the level." If you would like more information about Freemasonry, attend the Open House. If you have questions about the event, please email or call Jerry Collins at (317) 251-4900.
