MINOR LODGE
The Minor Lodges are the heart of our organization, each known as "the city" and led by a Worthy Primo. Each lodge has its own unique character, often named in honor of a respected member, a prominent figure in the community, or an association with a particular industry. For example, some lodges were formed by actors and entertainers, while others were connected to the legal profession or the armed forces.

Absent Brothers Toast
Spirit of truth, before we homeward wend
On thee we call
Assist us each to succor and defend
Good brethren all
From Cares and Sorrows, Absent Brethren Free
Where'er they roam, in air, on land or sea
Let thy kind spirit hover round them now
And so enthrall
That they will keep, their obligation vow
So say we all
And when on us, the ivy leaves descend
Grant we may join, thy link, our brothers friend.
