Month: October 2023

Brother Brian Marshall, a member of Gulf Beach Lodge No. 291 in Madeira Beach, and his wife Dee, paid a visit to the Masonic Home today (October 30^th) to bring Halloween cheer to our residents. Dee, who dressed up for the occasion, passed out spooky Halloween glasses and wind up toys to the residents. The visit and gifts were well received and a good time was had by all. Brian Marshall is the current Marshal at Gulf Beach Lodge, making him Marshal Marshall, a title the brothers enjoy repeating often. Brother Brian, a Master Mason for 2 ½ years, is an extremely dedicated brother and continually reaches out to assist in all Lodge activities and so much more. We are proud to have him as a member of Gulf Beach Lodge.

The Oktoberfest on October 26th was a great success! Thank you to all who attended and all who made it happen. Nearly $1300 was raised for our “bikes for books”program. This program encourages and rewards 12 top readers at a local elementary school with a brand new bicycle.

Officers of Gulf Beach Lodge attended the Homecoming last night for Most Worshipful Glen Bishop and First Lady Odessa, and had a wonderful time. They are pictured here presenting them with $250.00 each for the Grand Master’s Charity and the 1st Lady’s Project.
