I have an upcoming event at The Osgood, down the road from Saginaw Lodge #77. Here is its history:

In Bay City, Michigan, in 1860, a group of Bay City businessmen petitioned to organize a Masonic Lodge. An official charter was granted the next year, and the first meetings took place on the second floor of a commercial building. The lodge moved several times until it settled into the Eddy Block in 1878. In 1890, the Bay City Lodge, along with several other sister lodges, purchased land at this location to construct a building. They hired the local firm of Pratt & Koeppe to design a building, and construction began in early 1890. The cornerstone was put in place in mid-1891, and the building was completed in February 1893.

The Masonic Temple was used by not only Masons but also the community at large, and quickly became part of Bay City's cultural life. However, in May 1903, an electrical fire almost destroyed the building, completely devastating the interior but leaving the exterior walls standing. The Masons voted to immediately rebuild, and reconstruction commenced right away, albeit using slightly different plans than the original.

By the 1920s, membership in the Masons was threatening to overwhelm the capacity of the building. In 1926, the Masons constructed a Scottish Rite Cathedral, known as the Consistory, next to the Temple. However, Masonic membership, both nationally and locally, fell during the Great Depression. Although it rose again after World War II, membership steadily declined after about 1960. By 2004, the Bay City building was far too large for the local organization, and demolition of the 1893 building was considered. However, in 2005, the lodge made an agreement with the Bay City Arts Council, where the Council purchased the building and began to make necessary repairs and improvements. The organization Friends of the Historic Masonic Temple helped to repair and rehabilitate the building in order to turn it into a performing arts center.

The building now hosts movies, concerts, and other local events. The annual Excellency music festival also takes place at the Masonic Temple.

The building today is home to multiple organizations. One hosts the aforementioned events, coordinated by the Historic Masonic Temple group. The other is occupied by The Osgood, a local wedding venue.

Saginaw Lodge #77 had its regular meeting this past Tuesday night. They served homemade lasagna, salad, and bread for dinner. The night ended with the lodge's favorite dessert, Little Debbie Nutty Buddies, which are always a hit. It was a great night of Freemasonry.

Here are three great reminders brothers.
