August 17th, 2024 – Masonic Fashion Course

Location: Columbia-Doric Lodge #149, Greenville

Time: 7pm to 9pm with dinner served at 6pm

Instructor: Guest speaker JA Shapira from Winnipeg Canada

The course stems from his interest when becoming a Mason about when/why members are wearing certain outfits and the history of this. One ritual that is often being overlooked is the ritual of getting dressed for lodge, forgetting why we started dressing in tuxedos and why – so that we were all on the same level. Doesn’t matter the brand, material, the tuxedos will look the same and show they are all meeting on the level. With the talk of Masonic Dress, it discusses the details and why it is important and a matter of edict and importance, not a matter of showing off. The course talks about how to come up with the items needed to have that dress, that tuxedos or tail coat for a better price than a pricier option.
