Independence Day Picnic & Blood Drive

June 30th – Annual Independence Day Picnic!

O.K., so maybe it isn’t on July 4th…we love to spend that holiday with our family. Instead, we always plan our annual picnic the weekend before the exciting, much celebrated birthday of our great country. This year, we’re going to kick off our festivities at 11 a.m. under shelter #1 at the Broad Ripple Park. If you and your family are looking for something to do, this is the thing to do. So head on down to Broad Ripple Park on June 30th for some great summer fun. Side dishes are welcome.
Give Blood, Save Lives!

You didn’t think that Broad Ripple Lodge is All about fellowship, did you? One of our other favorite things to do is charity work and Brothers, you could say that this is “vital” charity work. During our July 4th picnic on June 30th, the Indiana Blood Center will have their Bloodmobile all set up and ready to go for you to donate blood. Below is some information from the Indiana Blood Center about donating.

 

Charity rewards all who seek it!!!

All participants will receive a collectible, limited-edition Indiana Blood Center/ The Bob & Tom Show tshirt, a ticket to the Def Leppard/Poison concert at Klipsch Music Center in Noblesville on August 24th and a voucher for a free Cinnamon Raisin biscuit from Hardees while supplies last.  Don’t delay, sign up today to reserve your spot!

Broad Ripple Lodge taught me how quickly men can become close friends, and form lifelong bonds. I feel I’ve known many of my fellow masons for a much longer time than I have actually been involved.

I joined a Masonic lodge to make new friends. In this day and age it can be difficult to develop constant predictable relationships with other people. In my life it seemed like every time I made a friend they ended up moving away, I lost interest or they were just too...
