n Tuesday, May 23, 2023, Baltimore City Lodge of Perfection No. 2 (a.k.a. BCLOP) held their Spring Festive Board. It surely was a resounding success, with Fratres, Loyal Ladies, Master Masons, families and friends of the lodge coming together to celebrate the fraternity and enjoy each other’s love. The event was filled with toasts, food, camaraderie, laughter and fellowship, making it a memorable occasion for everyone involved. The evening began with TPM Jayson Glenn, 32° (who was the Grand Host and Toastmaster for the event) excitedly banging the gavel, halting all chatter and conversation, eagerly announcing “Let the Festive Commence!”,
everyone in the audience ecstatically cheered and took their place. Host Glenn kicked off the ceremonies informing everyone why we were gathered, how to properly toast and “prost” and commenced with the first toast of the evening. Afterwards, members of the Order, dressed in their formal regalia, enjoyed a sit-down dinner, featuring a delicious menu that included a variety of options to suit all tastes and dietary requirements. The atmosphere was warm and inviting like the sun’s radiance on a balmy sunny morning greeting you before the sound of a soothing ocean front. As the meal progressed, Toastmaster Glenn took to the podium, continuing to lead the members in a series of toasts to our beloved country, the United Supreme Council
