Free Masonry is the world's oldest and largest fraternity. Comprised of men of good character and other attributes across international lines, the Free Masons have been organized and active for centuries in many places -including the Town of Greenwich, Connecticut.
Joining me by phone on the Wednesday, October 10 broadcast of Greenwich, A Town For All Seasons is Mr. Andrew Melillo, the head of the Acacia Lodge No. 85.
Many of us have a limited knowledge of the role of the Free Masons in Greenwich's history. Greenwich Free Press featured a story in its February 8, 2017 edition. Learn more by clicking here. You can also connect online via Facebook with the Connecticut Freemasons here.
I've invited Andrew Melillo to explain what Masonry is, its history and origins, local Greenwich luminaries associated with its founding, what it means to be a Free Mason, programs, projects and more.
He'll also talk to us about the David Noble Theis Memorial Scholarship. Go to this link on Greenwich Free Press to learn more.
On Amusements you'll hear news of a famous -or infamous- turn-of-the-century Halloween party at the Holley Inn, then headquarters of the Cos Cob Art Colony of American Impressionism, what's happening on the Community Calendar, and more.
