We hope through this site to tell you a little about us, about Freemasonry in Alabama and in general, and our activities as Masons.</p> <p>Freemasonry itself has a long and honorable history, and Friendship Lodge upholds a part of that history here in Centreville. The town is the seat of Bibb County, Alabama, and many current and former members have been outstanding participants in the government, law enforcement and business sectors of the community. The County Courthouse itself bears a cornerstone dating to 1902, and laid in a Masonic ceremony by the Brethren of Freemasonry. We, the present Brethren of the Lodge, work today to continue that tradition of service to our area. Once again, welcome!</p> <p class="right">Brother Bruce Klaiss<br>Webmaster</p> </td> </tr> </table> <div align="center"><h2><b>Chief Officers for 2002-2003:</b></h2> <p class="noindent"><i> Bruce Klaiss -- Worshipful Master<br> Jimmy Shuttlesworth -- Senior Warden<br> Jimmy Owens -- Junior Warden<br> Hershel Steele -- Treasurer<br> --> Mike Howell - Secretary<br> Allen Cristwell -- Senior Deacon<br> Josh Sanders -- Junior Deacon<br> Reuben Hubbard -- Chaplain<br> Frankie Fancher -- Senior Steward<br> --> Irby Foster -- Junior Steward<br> Glenn Peak -- Tyler<br> Charles Miller -- Marshall --> </i></p> <p class="center"><b><i>Meetings are held every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. at the Masonic Temple, <br> 28 Court Square East in Centreville, Alabama.<br> All regular brothers in the Craft are welcome to attend.</i></b></p>  <p class="center">  <a href="shorttalk.htm"><i>A short talk about Freemasonry</i></a><br><br> <a href="secrets.htm"><i>The Secrets of Freemasonry Revealed!</i></a><br><br> <a href="membership.htm"><i>How do you become a Mason?</i></a><br><br> <a href="pm.htm"><i>Past Masters of Friendship Lodge</i></a><br><br> <a href="directions.htm"><i>Directions to the Lodge</i></a><br><br> <a href="easternstar.htm"><i>Women in Freemasonry -- The Order of the Eastern Star</i></a><br><br> <a href="links.htm"><i>Suggested Masonic links</i></a><br><br> <a href="guestform.htm"><i>Our private Guestform</i></a><br><br> <a href="credits.htm"><i>Credits, services, webrings, etc.</i></a> </p>  <p class="center">For further information, contact:<br><br> <b><i>Friendship Lodge No. 83<br> 28 Court Square East<br> Centreville AL 35042</i></b> <br><br> or <a href="mailto:Friendship83@alagl.org">send mail to the Webmaster.</a></p>  <div align="center"><table> <tr> <td width="50%"> <div class="bottomblock">Designed and maintained by Bruce Alen Klaiss, Webmaster. <br> <a href="mailto:Friendship83@alagl.org">Feel free to send questions or comments</a><br><br> Version 3.1.0 gamma (May 16, 2002); originally created July 28, 1999</div> </td> <td width="50%"> <div align="center"><A HREF="http://www.iwanet.org/index.html" target="_blank"><IMG align="left" SRC="iwagry.gif" ALT="International Webmasters Association" WIDTH="115" HEIGHT="87" BORDER="0" ALIGN="bottom"></A><a href="http://www.hwg.org" target="_blank"><img src="lo-025.gif" width="64" height="90" border="0" alt="A member of the HTML Writers Guild"></a></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <br> <div align="center"> <table width="45%,10%,45%"> <tr> <td> <div align="center"><img src="builthsy.gif" width="88" height="36" border="0" alt="Built with HomeSite 4.5"></div> </td> <td></td> <td> <div align="center"><a href="http://www.gomasonry.com"><img src="logo2.gif" width=234 height=38 border=0 alt="We're listed at GoMasonry!"></a></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <br> <div align="center"> <table> <tr> <td> <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer"><img border=0 src="vh40.png" alt="Valid HTML 4.0!" height=31 width=88></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator"><img border="0" width="88" height="31" src="vcss.gif" alt="Valid CSS!"></a> </td> <td> <div align="center"><img src="y6k.jpg" width="87" height="87" border="0" alt="This site is Y6K compatible (grin)."></div> </td> </tr> </table></div>
