Forest Lodge #166 F & A.M. will be holding its monthly Sunday Family Breakfast on Dec. 15, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This all-you-can-eat breakfast will consist of eggs made to order, pancakes or french toast, sausages, fruit cocktail, toast, juice, milk, coffee, and tea. Adults and teenagers 13 and up are $8, children ages 6-12 are $4, and children 5 and under are free.

The public is welcome and cordially invited to attend, as is anyone with interests in, or has questions about Free Masonry. Forest Lodge is located at 321 East Main St. (Rte 20), Fredonia. The Lodge will be hosting a basket raffle during the breakfast to help the building fund, and assist with expenses from some recent brick work.

For members, families and friends of Forest Lodge, and all other lodges in the Chautauqua District and nearby districts, there will be a Christmas party on Friday, Dec. 20 at 5:30 p.m. Members are asked to bring a dish to pass, or a donation to help cover the main meat course which will be supplied by the lodge. There will also be a steal-a-gift exchange for those who want to participate and bring a wrapped, unmarked gift. Santa Claus will also be paying a visit to the young children in attendance. Please contact a Lodge member to RSVP for this event.

At both events, and through Saturday, Dec. 21, the lodge will be accepting non-perishable food donations for the local food pantry.

On behalf of the Masters and officers of the 10 lodges, and over 600 Chautauqua District members of the Grand Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons of the State of New York and their families, we want to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season, and a joyful new year.
