Our U.S/Canadian Lodge Friendship Night will be held on Monday, March 10th at 7:30 P.M. in the Lodge Room of Ogdensburgh Acacian Lodge F. & A. M., located at 201 State Street (corner of State & Washington St’s.) in Ogdensburg, New York. Ogdensburg is located directly across the St. Lawrence River from Prescott, Ontario.

This years Guests of Honor will be:

Representing the U.S. - R.·.W.·. Edward G. Gilbert, Deputy Grand Master, Grand Lodge F. & A. M. in the State of New York.

Representing Canada - M.·.W.·. Allan J. Petrisor, Grand Master, Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

All Master Mason’s in good standing from the U.S. and Canada are fraternally invited to attend this evening of friendship and brotherhood between our two country’s. Our Lodges in New York State open and do all business on the 3RD Degree. For that reason, you MUST be a Master Mason to attend this event. Since we generally have in excess of 200 Masons attending this event, we suggest that you try to arrive at least a half-hour early to be assured of a seat.

The Lodge Social Rooms will be opened at 4:00 PM on the day of the event for any Masons who choose to come early. We open the Lodge in the afternoon and bring it from labor to refreshment on the day of the event so as not to detract attention from our Guests of Honor and to allow more time for them to speak. We are planning to have fried chicken, cole slaw, rolls, and finger-food buffet style in our “down-under” social rooms after the Lodge event. There is no charge for this, but donations to our Jr. Warden’s fund will be greatly appreciated to help defray the expenses.

PLEASE NOTE NEW REGULATIONS BY U.S. HOMELAND SECURITY STARTING FEB. 1, 2008: "ALL PERSONS ENTERING THE U.S. MUST HAVE A BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND PICTURE ID OR A VALID PASSPORT!"
