In January of 2008 we merged with Rockford Lodge #102, making one out of two. Please consider this site to be a part of the history of Masonry in Northern Illinois.

Masonic Troop Support Program - Supporting Masonic Troops and Their Families!

Here is their Introduction.
   In March of 2007, under the guidance of the Masonic
 Leadership Institute, seven Freemasons (“Team Freedom”)
 developed the idea to begin a Masonic Military support
 program to send care packages and other needed items
 to our Brother Troops abroad.  We first built an
 interactive web site as a communication outlet,
 for the Service men and women - as well as their
 families - for contact and support during this time
 of separation.  It is our next goal to reach as many
 Freemason servicemen (and fellow Service men and
 women who have Masonic families back home) with
 packages of home based items and local letters of
 appreciation.  This is the first Troop Support
 Program for Freemasons stationed abroad. On Memorial
 Day Weekend of 2007 we officially shipped our first
 package to Iraq.
