On Tuesday, March 25^th, National Lodge held its Annual Inspection in the Entered Apprentice degree. We had a good turnout, with over 60 brethren in attendance.  The evening started with our traditional Chicken dinner, followed by the degree work, which was exemplified on Tony L. It was a great evening, as his grandfather and great-uncle were on hand to witness the degree work.

Unfortunately, our Worshipful Master, Robert G. Marquis, Sr., was home, recovering from his battle with pneumonia, so we had to find a replacement. M.W.B. James F. Easterling, Jr., accepted the challenge and did an excellent job. We received many congratulations from the brethren in attendance and our District Deputy was pleased with the work.

As part of the ongoing support of National Lodge, and to let everyone know around the area, that a Masonic Lodge resides within the city of Barberton, we approved to have Road Signs made and put up around the city where the corporation limit signs are currently placed. The bold masonic emblem, and National Lodge No. 568, proudly displayed, will ensure anyone entering the city knows that we exist and support the city of Barberton.

Bro Christopher W.R. Schill spearheaded this project. He worked closely with the city, providing artwork, and general locations around the area where existing corporation signs are placed. We appreciate Bro Schill’s effort in recognizing the need for these signs and putting together the idea to promote National Lodge within the city. There will be 10 signs erected around the city, and I’m sure one of them will catch your eye as you travel the area. The map below shows the approx. locations for the signs.
