Freemasons

Greatings Brothers;

My wife and I just booked a cruise vacation for New Zeeland & Australia. We are from Arizona and this has been a dream trip for us for a long time. The cruise ship leaves from Auckland on Jan 28th, 2013. We are planning to arrive 3 days earlier on Jan 25.
It would be a great honor for me to be able to visit a Lodge in Auckland, Jan 25-27, 2013 if possible.
Of course the V W Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Arizona will provide letters of introduction.
We are looking for to meeting my Masonic Brothers in New Zeeland.

Fraternally;

Rod Collins, WM
Eloy # 46, Eloy AZ

Greetings Brother!

Unfortunately I am the bearer of bad news- Jan is the middle of our summer and it is also the one month of the year in which our lodges don't meet! So, sorry we can't help you there, which is a pity as we do things quite differently, I'm sure.

Apart from that disappointment, I hope you and your wife enjoy your cruise and your visit to our little island.

Fraternal best wishes

Roel

Yes, some of our Lodges in AZ go dark in the summer time.

Thank you for your response. I am sure we will enjoy your beautiful country.

Any recommendations on what to see in Auckland our few days there would be appreciated.

Fraternally;
Rod

I would say Sky Tower & Kelly Tarlton.

MOTAT is you are interested in transport museums and the navy nuseum in Devonport...
