Our Lodge is growing and we are proud of our accomplishments. As you tour the site notice our pride and activities. We sponsor a Golf Tournament in April in which the proceeds are donated to the Oxford Children's home. Our Christmas Parade, on the second Saturday in December, involves much of the community and the proceeds are donated to local non-profit organizations.

Brother Junior Morrison from King Lodge 722 asked our help to spread the word about Masonic bike tags. Brother Junior worked with our state representatives to make available motorcycle Masonic Tags. However, the DMV requires 300 applications before any Masonic tags will be manufactured. Attached is an application for the tags. Follow the instructions and either mail your application and fee to King Lodge 722, PO Box 1471, King NC 27021 or to our lodge.
