Today’s Mason Monday is Brother Terry Wilcox from West Carrollton Lodge #737. Bro. Wilcox is retired Repair Technician, Motorcyclist, Father and a Proud Freemason.

What was it about Freemasonry that made you want to join? I wanted to join freemasonry for the camaraderie, history and carrying on what has now become a multiple generation legacy. My Father, Don Wilcox KYCH, myself and now my son Jaken Wilcox KYCH and right behind us and close to eligibility is my brother WB James Wilcox. It is very rare to have 3 living generations of Knights of the York Cross of Honour and I’m very proud of the work that our family has done in the craft. Beyond three generations of KYCHs, I enjoy being involved in our communities by being a part of Masonic events such as the Hook-A-Heart foundation and the Community Caretakers Christmas dinner and many more.

Ohio Freemasons believe in serving their communities — and that includes showing up for kids who need it most.

Through the Masonic Model Student Assistance Program (MMSAP), the Grand Lodge of Ohio provides free, three-day intensive training to school faculty and staff across the state, equipping them to identify and support at-risk youth in the areas of academics, health, behavior, and attendance.

No cost to participating schools. Just Brothers putting their values into action — right in your community.

There is no truer example of Freemasonry then a Brother helping a Brother. Here, MWB Shawn A. Johnson takes a moment to help a new Brother perfect his ritual return - demonstrating what it truly means to be Committed to the Craft!

It's baseball season in Ohio — and we're honoring a Brother who made his mark on the game.

Ethan Nathan Allen was a 13-year Major League veteran, a coach at Yale, and a member of Yeatman Lodge No. 162 in Cincinnati. He retired with a .300 career batting average and went on to mentor generations of young men, including a future U.S. president — on and off the field.

His life was a reminder that the lessons of the Craft don't stay inside the lodge. They show up in how you lead, how you teach, and how you serve others.
