Ever wonder what’s going on at Rock River Lodge?

2023 was a great year with Sam Dixon as our W.M.  A lot got done at lodge and the brothers had tons of brotherhood. Lots of money was raised during the year too.

2024 proved to be exceptional again for the Rock Lodge.  W.M. Josh Prescher was able to get a lot done this year.  At the last meeting of WM Josh’s time in office he listed things that the brothers supported and accomplished.  Listed here is most of what was done for 2024

FST and an AED were donated out - FST to the police and the AED to the Hustisford Community Hall  -  We had an open presentation given by the Hustisford Police department - it was a very informative program on Active Shooter Prevention.   Brat Fries and Lodge raffle/ auctions were all a success.

Work completed or about to be completed - Up-stairs Library is getting work done each month. Should be done by next spring. We are having the electric lines that feed the building buried, they now run through the trees and are at jeopardy of being taken out by tree damage and the squirrels are getting onto the roof because of this, causing damage to our wood facia’s and tower. As long as this is being done we are up-dating to 200 amp service.  -  Last spring we had a flood in the basement, after assessment it was determined that the ground around the building needed to be raised to draw the water away from the building.  Brother Jim Lumsden brought in dirt and fill, he along with his men spread it all out and landscaped the building. all this work should be our answer, Jim also brought in a number of arborvitae trees and landscaping materials, they placed them at the South West corner of the lot to separate our lot from the neighbors.  Thanks so much Jim and Guys.

Our lodge now has two TV’s  One in lodge room for degrees and presentations one in our lounge for viewing videos and shows.  We used it as a group watch Scottish Rite Thursday Night at the Rite videos.  This will happen again starting January 16th, 2025 - are you a SR Mason? Come visit and view the video Jan 16.

The trustees felt we needed to be soluble and responsible with money coming in, it was decided last year, Oct 2023 to increase our lodge dues to $144.00 for 2024 and future years.

Just recently we approved to allow a local Hustisford kids Ukulele group to use our basement to practice.  Plus the Royal Arch Masons, Chapter #7 to use our lodge room for a small fee.

Whew, what a year or two can happen when we work hard.
