Come Celebrate
the Birthday of
Albert Pike
Albert Pike was the longest serving Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite of the Southern Jurisdiction. Joining the Scottish Rite in 1853, he was instrumental in making Scottish Rite what it is today. During his 32 years as Grand Commander, he took an obscure Masonic organization begun in Charleston, South Carolina and made it into the largest most well known appendant body of Freemasonry.
All activities will be held at Buzzard Billy's
6:00 pm Social Hour
6:30 pm Dinner & Program
On Thursday, December 27th, we will celebrate and
pay tribute to his legacy. As Pike began his Scottish Rite career in New Orleans, we thought a cajun flavored affair would be a fun way to celebrate.
This special event will take place at Buzzard Billy's
(615 3rd Street - Des Moines) and will be similar in nature to our Royal Mile event each summer.
For $20.00 you have a choice of the following items:
Jambalaya
Red Beans and Rice with Andouille
Cajun Combo - One blackened catfish fillet, a half order of Jambalaya, a cup of seafood gumbo, & hushpuppies
Shrimp Creole
Blackened Fish & Chicken Combo
Blackened Fettuccini Alfredeaux -
Fettuccini noodles tossed in Alfredeaux sauce with Creole herbs and spices topped with blackened chicken breast
Southern Fried Shrimp Dinner
Fried Alligator Dinner
Our program will share some little known facts and trivia about the life of Albert Pike. In addition to his Masonic career, Pike was an explorer, attorney, Indian agent, author, Civil War General (CSA), historian, poet, and philosopher.
This event is open only to Master Masons and is limited to the first 45 reservations (due to space constraints).
Cost is $20 per person and advance payment is required by calling the AASR office
515-288-8927 or rsvp@dmscottishrite.org.
