Some of the other changes for Urania Lodge No. 311 include:
Gavel to Gavel in 30 Minutes:
There is hope for those desiring efficiently run stated communications. And there is no reason why most lodges can't accomplish this task in 30 minutes or less.
At Urania Lodge No. 311, we only conduct tyled business within a tyled meeting. Everything else is accomplished at our monthly officer meetings.
After our meetings, we adjourn to the Dining Facility for dinner, lodge education and social time.
A Lodge with Deep Traditions:
Over the past 150 years, Urania Lodge No. 311 has contributed leaders across many Masonic bodies, Churches and Businesses in our state.
We currently have the distinction of having the current Valley of Columbus Ancient Scottish Rite, Secretary from Urania Lodge No. 311. Over the years, we have provided District Deputy Grand Masters, District Presidents, Scottish Rite S.G.I.G's, York Rite Leaders, and Shrine Potentates to name a few.
We were also, considered by some, one of the most progressive blue lodges in the state. If you want to find out more about our lodge's history, please refer to our Lodge History clicking the link in the left menu.
The Outer Lodge:
Social time and networking with fellow Brothers is a must for a healthy lodge.
At Urania Lodge No. 311, we will either stay in the Lodge Dining Facility or head over to one of the local establishments where we can enjoy refreshment, watch TV or play a round of pool.
Prospective members are welcome to join us for dinner and outer lodge events.
