Tranquility Lodge No. 2000

[Blake Bowden]

Is anyone a member of this Lodge? Sounds cool!

Tranquility Lodge No. 2000 or TL2K of The Grand Lodge of Texas

 

[Nate Riley]

Have you heard the story behind it? The GLOT gave the mason astronaut a special dispensation (or something) to establish a lodge on the moon. I don't know the story good enough to tell it, but my mentor/instructor was a NASA guy and he was always ratchet-jawing about it.

For some reason I thought you had to be a NASA employee to join.

I am a member. They meet 4 times a year around the state. I have an application I could send (PDF) to you, if you would send me a scan of your DL and Dues card. (because I haven't met you in person, I don't think)

Buzz Aldren dropped a charter on the moon (From what I've been told) He and some guys in the control room here in Houston went on a secured channel and offically opened a lodge and then called it from labor etc...(This is second hand second hand information, so please do not kill the messenger!) I like being a member, it's a great conversation piece and they have the kickinest aprons!

 

[Wingnut]

Only aprons better are the Lodge of Research Full Member aprons

lolwhat?

how does "east to west" work when people are on different planets?!

that's AWESOME.

 

[RJS]

You have to look at the big picture. The 230+ thousand mile picture!

 

[owls84]

If there is no (Less) Gravity do east and west exist? Man this is deep...like Astrophysics deep.

 

[rhitland]

I heard when the moon is settled this will be the first lodge their and will be placed in the sea fo Tranquility!? I think it is an awesome idea and neat Texas Masons play that up so well.

 

[scottmh59]

soooooooo technically the GLOT has claimed the moon...yeeeee haaaawww

 

[JTM]

yea and then UGLE started crying about it and got juris-my-diction over it.

so Tranquility is under the Jurisdiction of 2 GL's.

any brother want to confirm this?

 

[RedTemplar]

I certainly have no problem with GLOT claiming the moon. However, if some green looking men ever tries to take it away from you boys just give this ol' KY Hillbilly call and I will fly to your aid.

 

[Wingnut]

I wonder who the Tiler is on the moon, and upon what is a person received?

 

[scottmh59]

received upon a sharp moon rock ofcourse.

Tranquility Lodge No. 2000 is coming to Army lodge 1105 on January 16. I'll be there. At least to see.

 

[John Schnitz]

Our secretary is a chatered member

 

[rhitland]

Sweet, are we on your list of cool people so you would tell us who your Sec. is? By the way can any MM visit their SM?

 

[JTM]

i'm still confused about who was in the east. who was the first master of tranquility lodge?

I would expect that it was Buzz Aldrin.

I'm a steward at Waco 92 and we host the Tranquility Lodge once a year for their Installation of Officers. This was my first year being a part of it and I was in the kitchen busy most of the time but I enjoyed meeting several of the members and their wives. A pleasant bunch of people.
