Regional Masonic Open House 26 June 2021

Let’s spread the word about the Open House! This event is a Regional Masonic Open House. We are opening our doors to invite the interested Men of Oklahoma to come see a Masonic Lodge, talk to Freemasons about the Fraternity and ask the questions that they have on their minds but maybe didn’t have a credible source to pursue the answer. There are many lodges in SW Oklahoma and we will be happy to help direct you to a lodge that is convenient to your location so that you may learn more about Freemasonry. Your family is invited to attend and during this open house event there will be two separate presentations on Freemasonry by one of our State Officers. These will be at 1030am and at 130pm. There will be opportunity to ask questions and talk to some of our members from the area. We are excited to open are doors to you and hope to see you there. Remember to visit BeAnOklahomaFreemason.org to find out more about how you fit Freemasonry!

Worshipful Joe Marlan Rough 1946-2021

The Fraternity lost a great Man and Mason this past Sunday. Worshipful Brother Joe Marlan Rough has passed to the celestial lodge above and laid down his working tools of life at the age of 74. Bro. Joe was Past Master of Triangle Lodge #548 and Lawton Lodge #183 as well as past Secretary of our lodge, serving 9 years in that position. Joe attained the distinction of a Scottish Rite 32°, KCCH and was a Vietnam Veteran of the US Navy. We are so grateful for the time we had with our dear Brother and the light he brought to our lives. He worked with and mentored so many Masons over the last 15 years and news of his passing has been met with an outpouring of sympathy and respect from the Craft here in Lawton and around the state and country, as he taught many of our Military Masons that came through Lawton and landed at our Lodge. Brother Joe never turned away from the request of a new Mason to learn our categorical lectures and so many Brothers had a strong relationship with Joe through those experiences. We will all miss our Dear Worshipful Brother and will cherish his memory in hearts, forever and forever. Services for Worshipful Brother Joe Marlan Rough, will be at Becker Rabon Funeral Home in Lawton on Monday March 29th at 1130am, graveside Masonic Rites will follow at the National Veteran’s Cemetery at Elgin, OK. Viewing will be Saturday and Sunday 1-3pm

At 2632 NW Cache Rd you will find us in the group use room. We welcome all Masons and Families as well as anyone wanting to learn more about our Fraternity. This event gives us a great opportunity to get together away from the lodge, meet with other good Men who want to learn more about us and let them meet some of our members. If the Lodge building is a place you haven’t made it to yet, don’t worry, plenty of times for that and we look forward to you joining us at this great event.
