Linden Lodge #637, F&AM

Linden Lodge #637 is a Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Ohio. For information about upcoming events click on the Home and News link at the top of this page. We welcome you to learn more about our Lodge and Freemasonry in general by using the tabs at the top of this page to visit our website. On these pages you can see who we are, what we are doing, when we meet and learn more about how to become a member of our Fraternity.

Linden Lodge # 637 holds Stated Meetings on the first Thursday of each month at the Northwest Masonic Temple, 2436 W Dublin-Granville Rd, Columbus, Ohio 43235. Our Lodge is Dark during the months of July and August so we have no meetings during those months. We may however have a few special events during the summer so check our news page to see what we are doing. All of our Stated Meetings are held at 7:30PM. We normally have a meal prior to our Stated Meetings at 6:37pm. These meals are open to our friends and potential Brethren as well as our Brothers from other Lodges. Please remember to invite individuals for a meal and great fellowship.

Summer Meetings
Grand Master Newton has issued a dispensation that gives lodges that normally don't meet in July and August permission to conduct Stated Meetings in July and August of 2020 as an opportunity to make up for our time away in April, May, and June. WM Black has elected to take this opportunity and has thus directed that Linden Lodge will be holding a Stated Meeting on July 2nd and August 6th at our normally scheduled times (dinner at 6:37 followed by our meeting at 7:30).

On our Stated Meeting of July 2nd, we are expected to take action on the petition of a new candidate for membership in our Lodge. And, upon successfully being accepted, WM Black is expecting an Entered Apprentice Degree ritual to follow that same evening. We would like to have as many of our Master Masons in attendance that evening to exercise your voting privilege and all our current members to witness this young man's first step in becoming a Mason.

Have You Paid Your Dues?

While most of our members pay their dues on time every year there are a few who do not. It is important that your dues are paid every year to maintain your status as a Mason. If you haven't pay your dues and the Lodge carries you on the roster waiting for you to pay, we still have to send money to the Grand Lodge to cover you as a Mason. Making the other members cover your membership is not fair to your Brothers in the Lodge. You should have received a dues notice invoice, if you can't find yours contact RWB Ron Leonard and he will tell you what you need to pay and how to pay it. Please help your Lodge and Brothers by paying on time.

Endowed Membership

How would you like to never have to pay your Lodge dues again? Sign up for an Endowed membership and that can happen. When you have an Endowed Membership the Lodge will receive a yearly payment from the Grand Lodge to cover your membership. The current cost is just $800.00 which can be paid up front or over a five year period at $160.00 per year (plus your yearly dues each year until fully paid). After you have made your total endowment you will just need to make one final dues payment to cover you for the rest of your life. Since you will have an endowment, the Lodge will receive payments for you forever, even beyond your passing away. Talk to your Lodge Secretary about it soon and get in before they have a chance to increase the cost for this great program. Do it now and leave a legacy for Linden Lodge!
