What 262 did on its Summer Vacation
In the calendar of many lodges, the summer months are “dark”, that means: not much happening. AAF262 was only dark this year for the month of August, but by no means did we lack activity!
First off, Brother Erik Harclerode organized a lodge trip to Comerica Park to see the Tigers. And what’s better than an evening at the ballpark with our brothers and family? The same, with the Tigers trouncing the Cleveland Indians 10-1! Yes!
Next came the Master’s Table dinner, at the Corner Brewery in Ypsilanti. It was pouring rain while we sat outside under the back awning. Nevertheless, the craft was not dampened as we enjoyed masonic discussion over great brews and food. Good times.
On August 28th we participated in the 2nd Annual Tri-Lodge Picnic. This Event brings together the three best lodges in Michigan, Ann Arbor-Fraternity #262, St. Mary’s #4 PHA and Golden Rule #159. There was family fun and fellowhip, BBQ, games and our Brother Scott Yoders masonic pretzels! Who else has that?
On August 30, the Scottish Rite Northern Jurisdiction had it’s annual meeting of the Supreme Council in Chicago. Our Worshipful Brother Justin Krasnoff was one of two Valley of Detroit members to receive the 33rd degree. Achieving the 33rd is an honor that can only be bestowed and it is granted solely by the Supreme Council. “A 33° Mason is a Master Mason who has exhibited knowledge, passion and sacrifice to his craft”. Congratulations Illustrious Brother Justin!

If thats not enough, some of our members have be filling their spare time reading Septembers Book Club selection, “Observing the Craft” by Andrew Hammer, PM of G.W.’s lodge: Alexandria-Washington Lodge No. 22. From his book site: “Observing the Craft is a manifesto of sorts for the observant Mason, who seeks quality over quantity in every aspect of Freemasonry.” An interesting read for sure, it’s not too late to get your copy and join the book club on September 20.
See you in lodge as 262 kicks of an exciting September!
