Since it was chartered in 2010, the members of Arts & Sciences Lodge No. 792 have had a close fraternal relationship with members of Samaritan Lodge No. 117, Prince Hall Affiliated. The two lodges brought that relationship to a whole new level on August 29, 2013 by jointly raising a new Master Mason.
The evening began with a delicious potluck dinner in the dining room of Avery Masonic Hall in Hilliard, Ohio. The degree was hosted by Arts & Sciences Lodge, which was responsible for opening lodge, conferring the second section, and giving the lecture and charge. The members of Samaritan Lodge conferred the first section and closed the lodge. The candidate’s father is a Past Master of Rising Sun Lodge No. 90, Prince Hall Affiliated, and was proud to raise his son as a new Master Mason and member of Arts & Sciences Lodge.
Forty four Brothers attended the joint raising. Five lodges under the Grand Lodge of Ohio were represented as were five lodges under the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Ohio.
