Brethren and visitors,

Welcome to our Masonic website for Ellettsville Lodge #245. We hope you find it informative.

Our lodge celebrated its 150^th year as a F.& A.M. lodge in the state of Indiana in 2009. We hope to complete another 150 years. Our lodge has a very rich history in Indiana Masonry, including two Past Grand Masters (PGM), Most Worshipful A. Vincent May and Most Worshipful James L. Chesney. Ellettsville Lodge has a long history of quality degree work and strives to make all of our Masonic work memorable to all in attendance.

There are several events that we will continue to have in 2010. We have an all-you-can-eat breakfast on the second Saturday of every month (with the help of our Order of Eastern Star, O.E.S.). We also man the Sugar Shack at the Monroe County Fall Festival in September of each year. Last year we participated in the festival parade with our first ever float and we plan to do so again this year. We did not have our annual golf scramble last year but we intend to sponsor it again this year. Proceeds will go to our building fund with the possibility of purchasing a stairway lift for our upstairs lodge room.

Our stated meetings are held on the first and third Tuesdays of every month except in May and November when meetings are held only on the first Tuesday. We are also “in the dark” the months of July and August. This schedule sounds complicated but it really isn’t; just call us and we can help you figure it out.

Keep an eye on our website as we try to update our trestle board often to keep everyone informed of our scheduled events. A list of our officers can be found on the site as well as the history of our lodge and a list of all the past masters. We also post pictures of events and those people in attendance. Please feel free to sign our guestbook and make a comment or ask a question. We will get back with you as soon as possible.

I look forward to my year as Worshipful Master of Ellettsville Lodge #245. Hope to see you in lodge.

Fraternally Yours,

Kevin Liford, Worshipful Master
