Last Call for 

Albert Pike Party

Please make your reservation by 1:00 PM today!  

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
