Help Needed!

Allohak Menewi Lodge 57 has started working on a digital archive of the lodge records and those of the predecessor lodges. We are looking for:

• Minutes of meetings
• Manuals of administration
• Officers
• Charters
• Banquet programs
• Historical items/news clippings
• Membership lists
• Newsletters
• Photos/slides
• Misc. items

We are looking for original records to add to the archives or if possible to borrow the records to make a scan. If you have a personal file of any of these records, we would like a copy.  We are also able to receive scans if you have the ability to scan the document into a pdf file.  Here is an example of a newsletter from Wopsononock Lodge 347, one of our predecessor lodges. Smoke Signals May 1971. The lodge is also working on a document archive to hold the actual records at our Brotherhood Lodge at Heritage Reservation.
