Wheaton Lodge No. 269 History

Over the last century and a half, Wheaton Lodge has been part of quite a bit of history. There are those who believe that Wheaton Lodge was instrumental in helping the city of Wheaton become the county seat. A number of well known men from the area have been members over the years. Lieutenant Marcellus Jones, a Past Master of the Lodge, is reputed to have fired the first shot at the Battle of Gettysburg. And there's the determination of the members who kept the Lodge going even after a fire nearly destroyed the building in 1949.

02.09.10 STATED MEETING CANCELED DUE TO ANTICIPATED WEATHER

January 13, 2010

Brethren,
2010 is here and "Let the degrees begin." We will be having degrees on stated meeting nights in the very near future so please pay attention to the web site calendar or the Treslteboard calendar. Our officers are doing a splendid job learning the work and being active in the furthering of Masonry at Wheaton Lodge. We are on path to raise over 25 master masons at Wheaton Lodge before July. In 2010, we have plans for volunteering time, money, and resources, and we also have several outings planned. We are going to have two outings in February so please check the calendar. My birthday is today and a Past Master of the Lodge asked me how old I was. I told him that I just turned 34. He said "Hell, I have sweaters older than you." This is my favorite quote of 2010.

Fraternally,
WoBro Jeremy Sanders
