Quinta Essentia Lodge No. 500

Happy Flag Day!
Long may she fly!

Let us, today, remember the heavy silences between in the war stories and the gentle smile and the words “that’s a story for another time.” Let us keep in our hearts and gratitude gratitude, the heroes who live in those pauses, those deep silences and those “stories for another time.” May we all strive for a day when heroes no longer dwell in silences and pauses. A day when the drums of war become the drums of joy. Let us endeavor to ensure their ultimate sacrifices were not in vain.
To our Brothers who had the honor to serve, you are in our minds today and we continue to pray for those who gave the last full measure.

A wonderful time last night, the brothers of Quinta Essentia Lodge No. 500 and guests gathered at The Elm City Club for our May Stated Communication and Festive Board! Joined by WB Allyan Lopes of Friendship Lodge No. 33, he led the group assembled in a lively and educational discussion - The Flame of Truth: An Introduction to Zoroastrianism. Great food, fellowship, and conversation!
