The Masonic Lodge of Bend is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.
The Freemasons is a secretive international men’s group. And it's been around for at least 400 years.
The Bend chapter has spent months organizing a treasure hunt, a dinner, and a showcase of the charitable work the group does.

We also just had a story in the local paper, the Bend Bulletin entitled Freemasons: building for the future. Sorry, no link yet.

Playing off the thoughts of so many who think we have a ton of secrets, though they maybe misguided, at least gets them reading, and thinking, about Masonry. Perhaps in that, we educate a few.
