Lodge Suppers Our Worshipful Master is trying something different, starting with the September meeting and there after. We are having a supper at 6:30 PM before lodge instead of eating so late after lodge closes. So far it has been very successful. If you are coming to Lodge why not come a little earlier and enjoy supper with your brothers. Cortland Lodge Annual Inspection This years annual Inspection will be on February 17 with Dinner at 6:30 PM and Lodge opening at 7:30 PM.

It doesn't matter if you have not been there for a long time or not sure if you remember all the signs. The officers and sideline brothers will help you and make you feel like home.
