Ohio Masons are invited to attend the 5th annual Masonic Restoration Foundation Symposium, which will be held at the Cincinnati Masonic Center on August 15 – 17, 2014.
This national symposium will feature speakers and workshops focused on enabling Masons and Lodges to improve their Masonic experience. (This will be a Brothers only event; there will not be a ladies program.)
Schedule
The Symposium will begin with a traditional Festive Board banquet on Friday, August 15 at 7 pm, providing an opportunity to explore the European Masonic custom of combining food and fellowship with Freemasonry. The workshops will be held on Saturday, August 16 from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. Attendees will then witness an exemplification of the oldest Masonic ritual used in the United States in the form of a Pennsylvania Master Mason degree. A Scotch Harmony will finish the day with attendees raising a brotherly tune and glass of good cheer. The Symposium will conclude on Sunday morning with a town hall forum and presenters’ roundtable.
