State Masonic Mission:

The mission of freemasonry in Wisconsin is to teach and demonstrate a fraternal way of life that promotes brotherhood and self improvement through education, moral standards, charity, and community involvement.

Our Mission:

The Oshkosh Masonic Lodge No. 27 mission is to promote personal development by reinforcing moral principals, to assist those suffering unfortunate circumstances, and to foster friendship and cooperation among all people.

A Message from the East

Welcome to the virtual home of Oshkosh Lodge #27.  My name is David Miles and I have the privilege of serving the Lodge as Master in this year of our Lord, 2008.  This will be an exciting year with many new members waiting to receive degrees and many challenges concerning our future lodgings to be determined.  We are currently in the process of selling our building and will be exploring opportunities for our new long term home.

            Oshkosh Lodge has become more active in recent years with our work for charities and in social activities.  This is a trend I plan to continue to encourage during the coming year.  We will once again be holding Brat fries to raise funds to distribute to local elementary school libraries.  We will continue to sponsor a team for youth soccer.  We will be scheduling social activities every month to encourage a growing fellowship among our brethren.

            If you are a fellow Mason, please feel free to attend any function we host.  If you are interested in seeking self improvement for the sake of bettering yourself and mankind and are not yet a Mason, please feel free to send us an e-mail and we will be happy to answer any questions you might have concerning Masonry.

                                                                        Respectfully yours,

                                                                        David Miles

                                                                        Worshipful Master, Oshkosh Lodge #27

On June 1^st and 2^nd, Oshkosh Lodge 27 with assistance from the Oshkosh Eastern Star members raised money by selling Brats at Festival Foods in Oshkosh, WI.  The money raised was donated to the Media Centers of three Oshkosh Area Schools, Lincoln, Smith and Webster Stanley.Our Oshkosh Masons worked very hard to make the brat fry a success despite very poor weather conditions.  The Worthy Matron from the Order of the Eastern Star, Pamela Pillar, offered umbrella service during the noon hour to anyone who wanted to buy a Brat.Despite the rain, the Oshkosh Masonic Lodge hit their sales goal.  During the Brat Fry, several questions were asked by customers about the Masons, including, “What do Masons do?” and “How do I become a Mason?” 

A check was given to Jean Stebbins (Principal, Smith Elementary School), Jane Kuhn (Principal, Lincoln Elementary School and Patti Vickman (Principal, Webster Elementary School) during the June 13^th televised school board meeting.   

The Oshkosh Masonic Lodge plans to continue fund raising to support all of our public schools.

Brethren,

Once again the members of the Oshkosh Masonic organizations banded together for a brat fry. We accomplished our goal of earning enough money to donate $300 each to three of our Grade Schools, Webster Stanley, Smith and Lincoln schools. We will be presenting these schools a check during the televised school board meeting on Wednesday, June 13th. Special thanks to everyone who worked this Brat Fry.

Thank you and please try to attend our degree work being held on June 12th and 26th. Plus, please try to help us with our EAA Master Mason Raising. We plan to have practices during the month of July.

Sincerely Yours
