Welcome Locks, They say you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. So, let’s try it this way first. If you stole the antique bird perch from Lodge 45 in Roxanna, New Jersey, please return it. Thank you. 🙂 Should this honey not do the trick, I will let loose the vinegar. The vinegar will take […]

Welcome Locks, Did you know that the average lifespan of a hummingbird is four years? Maybe you didn’t, but in Connecticut, that’s the kind of thing they won’t shut up about. We are a diverse Order, with members to be found in every corner, with interests in nearly every type of bird. Today we zoom in […]

Locks. Hello. A quick word about the Grand Lock Logo Redesign Contest: it does not exist. So, if you read a social media post on “LockerRoom,” please know that you have been the victim of a cruel prank. The beloved Lock and Beams logo has been in place for hundreds of years, possibly even more […]

Aloha Locks, Once a season a Lock, usually a younger one in their mid-forties, will ask me if we spend Lock dues on political interests. It’s a fair question which, I believe, comes with a fair answer. That answer is yes. Absolutely. Of course we do. We’ve installed and maintained Shadow President P. Mindon.Yeah. A lot […]

Howdy Locks, Wow. It’s all I can say. Another year, another successful Horse Day. Congratulations to every Lock who helped pull Horse Day 2018 off and made it everything we could ever dream it to be. We are now at the furthest point from Horse Day 2019, but the good news is, it’s only going to […]

Davenplatt, has a daughter who is doing a little fundraising and our Order likes to foster enterprising youth whenever possible. If you would like to purchase any homemade t-shirts that have […]

Mathchomaroon Locks, We heard your requests and managed to get you one more Locksmith Newsletter of July. (Just a little joke: they come out every Tuesday and that’s just the way the calendar went this month.) Now that your day has been brightened by that little jest, a sad announcement: this year’s Horse Day 2018 celebration will […]

Hello Glais, As members of The Order, the decisions you make each day have an enormous impact on the future. It is for those reasons, that you must always strive to remember what has happened in the past. And then once you’ve remembered it, do your best to learn from this memory. Our staff of […]

Hallo Schlösser, You may have noticed that your local Lodge has been a little more empty on the weekends throughout this month. Don’t worry! There isn’t any secret council concerning you or anything of that nature. It’s simply that magical time known as summer: when the big-wigs head to the summer homes, the medium-wigs splurge […]

Hello Locks, We hope you had a pleasant July 4th and that you were able to understand all of the firework messages we sent. There is room for everyone at the Grand Lock table, except for the Shadow Padlocks, and as such, all opinions are welcome. We do not always encourage every opinion to be […]
