The Lodge plans its activities to compliment the work, family, and other commitments of members.

It aims to maintain a consistent high standard in everything it does.

Thereafter, annual membership fees are $175 per 6 months, payable in April and October.

Vision
To be a thriving, active, Freemasons Lodge that preserves strong traditions, and adds value to the lives of its members and to the community.
Values
The Lodge values are derived from the basic principles on which Freemasonry is founded: brotherly love, relief, and truth. Brotherly love implies care, concern and support for each other, relief implies giving support to people in need, and truth implies sincerity, honesty, and high standards.
