Members of Temple Lodge, No. 33 have always been active in the local community and in community organizations.
Here are some of the local organizations that have benefited from the involvement of Temple Lodge, No.33 members, and, from our historical research, some of the Temple Lodge, No. 33 members who have been, or are, involved in those organizations.
Please note that other Temple Lodge, No.33 members are currently involved in local organizations but wish to keep their involvement private so as not to appear ostentatious. As Freemasons, we go about our charitable and civic activities quietly and do not advertise them or draw attention to ourselves for our involvement.
