A Historic Meeting
February 28th 2012 will forever be marked as a historic day for PPW Lodge. On this day, for the first time ever, we were visited by brethren from a local lodge of Prince Hall Masonry. Brother Lorenzo Rochester, Past Master & Past Dean, Brother Jean Joseph, Recording Secretary and Brother James Lowe, Junior Deacon hailing from Doric Lodge #53 of Hempstead, NY broke bread (well fortune cookies as the dinner for the night was Chinese) and joined us in our meeting. Bro. Rochester gave a us a brief talk regarding Prince Hall Masonry. The feeling of fellowship, brotherhood and camaraderie was felt in the air. Hopefully this will be the beginning of a long lasting connection between lodges and brothers.
Bro. Brew is Doing What?!?
On March 10th, 2012, Sullivan's Quay will be sponsoring a fundraiser to benefit the St. Baldrick's Foundation. Brother Jimmy Brew has volunteered to be a shavee. If Bro. Jimmy raises even just one dollar, he will shave his beard; one that he has had for over 30 years. He alos mentioned that if our chaplain, Bro. Brian Staley makes and appearance, he will shave his head. This has to be seen. Please donate to this worthy cause and help sponsor a good man.

The Boys are Back!
On Saturday January 14th, PPW #855 celebrated their After-the-Holidays Holiday Party at their old stomping grounds, Sullivan's Quay on Port Washington Blvd. Just like old times, the brothers were out in large numbers, along with their spouses and children. It was also great to see a few of the newly initiated Entered Apprentices join in the festivities. To view photos click here.
