Cedar lodge plans open house
MOUNT CARMEL - Cedar Lodge No. 378, Free and Accepted Masons, 135 S. Maple St., will host an open house from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The lodge is the former Jewish synagogue. The Masons formerly met at the Masonic Temple on North Oak Street between Second and Cherry streets. The building was demolished when First National Bank (now Susquehanna Bank) took over that block for its new banking complex.
The Masons have since renovated the synagogue to meet their requirements. The tour of the building will highlight these changes, especially those to the social quarters located in the basement which is still being updated.
Information concerning the Masons, the oldest and largest fraternal organization in the world, will be available.
For more information, contact John Avellino III, exalted ruler, at 570-373-5823, or Ricky Schnee, secretary, at 570-933-0141.
