As history attests, the inaugural meeting of Wyllys Lodge 99 was held in the upper floor of a building located in the northwest section of what is now Bishop’s Corner, then known as Goodman’s Tavern and later as Hurlbut’s Tavern. Yes, taverns play a prominent role in the history of Wyllys Lodge 99, Saint John's Lodge No. 4, and Masonry in general. It is in this great tradition that Junior Warden Gene Meltser and company erected a new tavern style Beverage Station to commemorate John Forlenza-Bailey's year as Worshipful Master. The John Forlenza-Bailey Commemorative Beverage Station will be put to good use when it is unveiled at Wyllys – Saint John No. 4's Table Lodge on March 1, 2010. Join us as we carry on a great tradition.
