Fed 9 Fine “Meet and Greet”

During the planning period for the 2023-24 Trestle Board, RW Christopher G. Gray encouraged our members to consider conducting a casual meet and greet. The intent of this event was for members of the lodge to have an opportunity to interact with the community and interested candidates of membership. SW Cash Crooms recommended we convene at Loafer’s Seafood and Grill in Catonsville, MD where 11 November 2023 was set as the date.

Our Lodge was pleased to enjoy the company of RW Jayson Glen, RW Brandon Edney, PM William Vandervall, and PM Keith Speights, along with a host of other brothers, spouses, and family who attended. During this event, we were surprised with monetary donations as well as coat donations from PM Keith Speights on behalf of his Knights Templar Commandery and Consistory. His donation was applied to the lodge’s Widows’ fund dispersed in December 2023. The event was an absolute success, and the Mighty Men of Federal Lodge No. 9 look forward to convening with the jurisdiction throughout the Masonic Year.
