Manhattan College is on Facebook
- 2026-04-24 19:05 - (1302 Reads)
Manhattan College has set up a Facebook page. To join, go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/manhattan210 and click on the +Invite button. You will be verified and if a member of the York Rite, given access.
The College met on Saturday, October 7, when Stenrick Adams, Deputy Governor, presented the College with a flag and a gavel.
The College approved the setting up of a Committee to design a bespoke tie and bowtie for the College. Since we are a daylight College, it was decided that members would wear a dark suit, and Officers a black jacket and striped pants similar to English daylight Lodges.
A photograph was taken to commemorate the 70% attendance at the October meeting.

15th Annual Masters & Wardens Golf Tournament
- 2024-08-05 19:18 - (22819 Reads)
Another Masonic Golf Tournament is in the books!
On Saturday 14 teams representing 5 Lodges competed for the #1 Good Team Trophy with a new winner claiming the trophy, MacNeer Waffle House, representing Oneonta Lodge.
We all enjoyed the fellowship, golf, food and banter that goes along with a good golf outing. Only one complaint, no one found a ball in the woods with TED marked on it! I would like to thank all those who sponsored a hole, donated their winnings back to the cause and helped with the sign in ( Tom Fransisco and Pat Sherry ). Also a big thanks to Alex Brannan who was visiting his Dad in Canada as he takes care of the financial aspects of the tournament. I hope that next year we can get all the Lodges to sponsor a hole and even participate in the tournament. Thanks to Colonial Ridge Golf and the Waffle family for their continued support of our event.
So here are the results
| 1st | MacNeerWaffleHouse Team | 57 |
| 2nd | Cherry Valley #1 Team | 58 |
| 3rd | Iron Man Team | 61 |
| 4th | Team Awesome Team | 62 |
