Grand Lodge Offers Website Template to Lodges

E-mail Print PDF

TemplateIn an effort to encourage every Lodge in Ohio to have its own website, the Grand Lodge has created a website template which Lodges can download and use.  The template is designed to be used by anyone, regardless of their technical skill.  Included in the template is a detailed instruction manual explaining how to customize and upload the files to a web server, as well as all of the files and programs needed to edit and upload the site.  (View the template online)

A website will allow a Lodge to publish activities, showcase its history, and open a direct line of communication between officers and members.  It can also be used to let potential members know about Freemasonry.  A website is a valuable and important working tool in the 21st century.

The template contains all of the pages needed to create an informative site.  The manual will walk you through the steps to edit each page and publish them to the Internet.  A lodge must have its own webhosting service, or it can take advantage of the Grand Lodge's Webhosting Program.

To download the template, click here.  All of the files and programs are contained in a "zip" file.  To open it, double-click on the downloaded file (Website_Template.zip).  Once your Lodge's site has been published, contact Mark Bernardin to have it listed in the Lodge Locator.

 

Grand Master Requests Support for Monuments Honoring Korea & Vietnam Vets

Donation_VoucherBrothers,

When I graduated from high school in 1968, our country was in turmoil. Many of you or your parents lived through those times and perhaps even fought in Korea or Vietnam – or both!  Sadly, our soldiers returning from Southeast Asia were at best ignored and at worst met with violence in their own country.

Even our wonderful fraternity, known for its benevolence, failed to adequately recognize our service men and women on their return. Today, Operation Welcome Home, headed by Brother Mike Jackson, dedicates itself to providing recognition to returning service personnel. With their permission, we have adopted that theme as an expression of respect for our Masonic Brothers who served in Korea and Vietnam.

As your Grand Master, it is my intent to create The Korean Masonic Memorial and The Vietnam Masonic Memorial at the Springfield Masonic Community in remembrance of the sacrifice made by these veterans. My goal is to dedicate these memorials on June 6, 2010 on Ohio Masonic Home Day.
