Bay View Lodge will host an open house at the Masonic Hall on Route 96 in East Boothbay on Saturday, Oct. 18.

Open houses are being held throughout the northeastern United States on Saturday so that the community members may visit the lodges to learn about Freemasonry and the many community and nationwide charitable activities of the Masons, including Bikes for Books, college scholarships, community assistance initiatives, at-risk-children teacher assistance programs, Shriners Hospitals, heart and cancer research, DeMolay and Rainbow for our youth, and many more.

The Lodge will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
