We decided to have a public installation, like last year, even though this year we are not combining our installation with another lodge.
I would like to put a notice in the paper. It's tricky because we are having a dinner for friends and family before the installation, in our lodge, and that part isn't open to the general public. And I wonder how comfortable most of the members would be to having the general public there.
But! We have advance notice. It is a public ceremony. And what better way to show potential members what we do?
Something like:
Historic South Haven Masonic Temple is opening its doors to the public on Tuesday, December 11, 7:00 PM. The temple was built in 1913 and well worth seeing on it's own. The "Installation of Officers" is the only ritual which the general public is allowed to see, so if you are curious about Masons and Masonry, don't miss this rare, FREE, event.
The Masons are the oldest and largest fraternal organization in the world -- a worldwide social and community service organization, emphasizing personal study, self-improvement, and social betterment via individual involvement and philanthropy.
The Masonic Temple is located at 212 Center street, above Murphy's. Space is limited so please contact Russel Campbell at... if you wish to attend.
I'll run it up the proverbial flagpole. Is it normal to publicize this event?
