We became aware of a community support event being sponsored by Northstar Steel and Pike-Delta-York Schools, through the organization Let's Build. which had a one-day event to build 150 bed frames to be donated to families in need. The big push was to amass volunteers for the event.

A Lodge brother and past master, W.B. Don Gerdes, has commissioned local artist Becca Brehm in Delta to create a handsome print of our lodge building. These matted prints are available for purchase either in an acetate sleeve for $25 or framed for $40. The overall dimension is 8in x 10in with matting. The print is based on a historic photo of Fulton Lodge from the early 1900s. Proceeds from the sale of these prints will go towards our Lodge's Historic Marker Fund. Please contact the secretary of Fulton Lodge if you are interested in purchasing one of these amazingly detailed prints (secretary@fultonlodge.org).
Note: if you need us to mail it, we'll let you know the estimated postage.
Brothers, it is with a heavy heart that I bring the news of the passing of Worshipful Brother Timothy M. Churchill of Fulton Lodge 248. With 54 years of service, Tim has been our secretary for the lodge for over 30 years. I do not have any further information on Masonic Services, but wanted to make you all aware as most knew he was having health challenges. We will provide information regarding services as soon as we have it.
Fulton Lodge No. 248 was honored to host the installation ceremony for W.B. John H. Seabolt, appointed District Education Officer for 2022, for the Fifth Masonic District of the Grnad Lodge of Ohio. John served as Master of Fulton Lodge in 2018, as well as Lodge Education Officer in 2021.
At our Regular Stated Meetng on June 1, we watched Tim Churchill deliver another amazing EA lecture from memory, which marks 50 years of delivering this lecture. We put together a small token of our appreciation to his commitment to the craft.
This contest is still very much in the early planning stages, but the brothers of Fulton Lodge 248 have marked a date they want to attempt this on. September 25, 2021 will be the first ever (that we know of) Masonic Lodges on the Air contest, a.k.a. CQ More Light!
The goal is simple, activate (e.g., set up a temporary HAM Radio station and antenna) as many Masonic Lodges as possible and try to log a QSO/Contact with them. More rules and scoring will be forthcoming, but for now, know that the date for this is intended to be the Saturday of (or immediately following) the Autumnal Equinox. You do not need to be a Freemason to participate in this contest, in fact, we would encourage any Masonic Lodge to open their doors (or property) to host an event with local HAMs or maybe even coordinate an Open House for the same day.
Keep checking back as we expand into Social Media and provide further content related to the upcoming contest.
