1st Annual 3rd Northern Picnic

On Sunday, August 28, 2011 McHenry Lodge held its annual Lodge Picnic. This year, instead of being just for members of McHenry #158, the Lodge decided to open the event to all the Lodges and appendant bodies that meet in the 3rd Northern District.  Thus was born the 1st Annual 3rd Northern District Masonic Picnic.  The event was attended by nearly eighty of the Brothers and their families from all across the District.  Several Brothers that hadn't been seen for some time were able to attend.  All of the Lodge widows were invited and a few were able to come to the event and join in the fellowship that was so important to their spouse in days gone by.  The weather cooperated and we had a wonderful day to enjoy the company of friends and the food prepared by our Jr. Warden and Stewards.
