There will be a dinner before Lodge on the lower-level beginning at 5:45 P.M. Please make reservations by calling the Secretary at 717-317-2696 or by e-mail at secy0464@pagrandlodge.org by June 14, 2026. The suggested contribution for dinner is $15.00.

For the Stated Meeting, Grand Lodge is permitting members to dress in business casual – slacks and collared shirt is acceptable (no shorts, jeans or sneakers). Officers must continue to wear tux and appropriate regalia.
Finally, as we get into summer, please know that the Lodge has planned two summer activities:
SUMMER PICNIC AND SENATORS BASEBALL GAME: Robert Burns Lodge will join with Perseverance Lodge No. 21 and Harrisburg-Snyder Lodge No. 629 in a Summer Picnic and Senators Baseball Game at 6:00 P.M. on Saturday, July 18 on Harrisburg City Island. There will be limited parking passes, so we will meet at the Consistory at 4:30 for carpooling. The cost will be $25.00 per person, and the Lodges will have two suites from which to watch the baseball game. Tickets may be reserved with payment by emailing the Worshipful Master at tvern001@comcast.net. Tickets are available until sold out.
YELLOW BREECHES CREEK ANNUAL CLEANUP: On Sunday, August 9, the Yellow Breeches Watershed Association will hold their annual Yellow Breeches Creek Cleanup. The Worshipful Master invites the Brothers of Robert Burns Lodge to bring your canoe, kayak or paddleboard and participate in a fun and rewarding day on the water. Those who do not have a watercraft can participate by joining the ground crew to pick up bags of trash at various takeout points. Two stretches of the Creek are targeted: Messiah University to Lower Allen Community Park, and LACP to Sheepford Road. We will meet at 11:00 am at the Fernlawn Pavilion at Lower Allen Community Park, 4075 Lisburn Rd. in Mechanicsburg, and generally finish by 5:30 pm. Snacks and water will be provided, as well as pizza following the cleanup. Registration and Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) are required. More information will be posted on ybwatershed.org/summer-cleanup. Shawn Fabian, P.M. of Robert Burns Lodge, is currently the President of YBWA. Let’s turn out to help Brother Fabian with this important endeavor!
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Gerald D Feaser Jr, PM
Secretary
