Visit to Windsor #403, AF & FM Grand Lodge of Canada

On Friday, May 21, ten members of Ann Arbor – Fraternity 262 traveled to Windsor, Canada, to witness a Master Mason’s degree performed by the brothers of Windsor No. 403.  Windsor Lodge was founded in 1883.  Though separated only by the Detroit River from our Masonic jurisdiction, the ritual we witnessed was very different from our own. Windsor 403 conducted themselves with great solemnity throughout and their candidate proved himself to be especially well instructed in Masonry.  At the close of the meeting, WM Robert Blackburn presented Windsor No. 403, by and through its acting Master Bonn Sotto, PM, with a small ceremonial trowel commemorating the visit.  The brothers of Ann Arbor – Fraternity were then treated to a fantastic dinner of Vietnamese food.  “Thank you” again Windsor No. 403 for your outstanding hospitality.
