Now its your turn. You have the right to vote in tomorrows election. As a Free Mason, it is your DUTY to preform that right. SEE YOU AT THE POLL!

From Brother Ryan Beichnet, Worshipful Master. I want to send a big THANK YOU out to all those who came out and donated today. We had much support from both our brothers and generosity from the community. I am proud to say that Petrolia Lodge was able to collect $1,340 in monetary donations and approximately $1,700 more in food donations. Community Services of Venango County very much appreciated our efforts. With the current pandemic, their resources are limited while trying to service more families at this time. Thank you brothers for all you do, it was great success. Stay safe and stay well.

A food drive this Saturday, May 2nd from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Food and donations will be collected in the parking lot behind Oil City Petrolia Lodge during these hours. All food and monies collected by Petrolia Lodge on Saturday will stay local and be donated to Community Services of Venango County. If you would like your monetary donations to be directed to another organization or church, please specify upon dropping off. Please give as you can, as many local food banks need additional sources at this time. If you are uncomfortable coming out that day Monetary donations can be sent to: Petrolia Lodge 363 P.O. Box 901 Oil City, PA. Please make your check payable to “Community Services of Venango County.” Add a notation to your donation to specify this is to go towards the food drive. Although I know we are all missing the comradery of our fraternity, I ask you to please remember to follow social distancing and CDC guidelines when dropping off your donations. Thank you brothers. Stay safe and stay well.
