We have events open to the public on Saturdays this month.

March 8 & 22 - Tonight! Auction. There is always so much stuff! Come check it out tonight. If you can't make it this evening, there is another chance in a couple weeks

March 15 - there are two separate events! You could attend both.

First, from 11am-2pm we have 3 professionals doing their thing. If you don't know about these ladies, then you are missing out!
Here is what to expect at this event:
Susan will explain how to connect with the senses and signals of your body and how to open up our mind to utilize the abilities that we all possess.
Mary will make you feel the interactions between sound/frequency with your mind/body with her singing bowls. If you've never done it, you have to experience it!
Melony will explain how to utilize the power of nature for your personal health/needs. She might have one of her own special drinks to try for yourself.
Sign up this week!

Later that evening, from 6pm-10pm we have our second event of the day. It is a Daddy-Daughter Sweetheart Dance. It was just added to the schedule and I'm super excited about it! Join us for this event and make a memory with your sweetheart.

Hope to see you at one or all events this month!

The Scottish Rite Cathedral in StL was completed within a few months of this old building in PH. I wanted to know what the Masons were talking about during this time, so I read through the ceremony. I found this speech given in StL when the Scottish Rite was opened. This speech could be given today, just like it was 100 years ago.

"Mankind has two chief interests around which most every one of his activities through life, center. In the first place, he is interested in himself. In the second place, he is interested in his group or association to which he belongs. Few things in life go beyond those two major interests.

Man comes in the world as a separate and distinct individual, and he retains that personality to the end. Whatever else he may become, he always remains an individual with an interest in that individual, with a service and duty distinct to protect and save himself as an individual. He comes with a heritage, a heritage of instinct and impulse, things which he can do without instruction. We do not need to teach a baby to suckle; neither could we keep him from learning to walk unless, perhaps, we physically band up his limbs by force so that he could not walk. And so far, many hundred things, we do them without instruction. We are bound to do them, part of our native equipment, physically and mentally instinctive and inherited.

Now, these particular instincts are necessary for our preservation and our lives, and yet they cannot be exercised without restraint, control, and training. It is important that they be improved by practice until they become habits. If our instincts cannot be trained into useful habits so that we may perform necessary functions of life and living immediately, automatically, accurately, and without conscious thought, our minds would not be free for those greater activities which have made man the crown of God’s creation.

Then, our instincts must be transformed and restrained and made over into habits, and our habits, in turn, must be controlled and restrained. So, we do not teach a baby to eat, we must teach him that he does not eat too much and that he does not eat the wrong things; else a diet of marbles and feathers and pins and other things which come within the grasp of his searching fingers, shall ruin his digestion or cost him his life.

Now, in life, we learn by experience that some things are not to be done. So, our instincts and our habits are purified for our service, by our sad experiences, or the experiences of others.

In addition to our instincts and our habits, we are also equipped with emotions: rage, fear, hate, jealousy, envy and love, courage and ambition, and all the things making up the stirring fields of life. And these emotions, all of them essential to our welfare; but some more essential than others. They, in turn, must be controlled and restrained and trained so that they may serve the purpose of useful living and make us into better men.

We must train our emotions so that they will be our servants in the tasks of life and not our masters, controlling our passions and regulating our lives according to the ideals that we believe to be necessary. And more than that, man is possessed of a superior intelligence by means of which he recognizes the necessity of the control of instinct, of habit, and of motion, and by means of which he selects those instincts, habits and emotions which shall be most valuable to himself and to mankind. It is this superior intelligence which enables us to pick out the things that we ought to do and determine a course which will bring us to their fulfillment. Beyond intelligence, lies rationality, reason, our ability to take facts and principles and discover new ones and apply those discovered by ourselves or others, enabling the abstract decision which formulates itself into a practical application to the affairs of life.

These elements – instincts, habits, emotions, intelligence and reason – they are by no means separate in life. They are mixed up in a great formula that makes the seething inside of us that is a man. They are interrelated and dependent, each combining with another resulting in many thousands of combinations, all making up the sum total of our conscious.

In general, the instincts, habits, and emotions enable us to adapt ourselves to the environment into which we come. Just as an animal born under and condition instinctively adapts himself to the conditions which make life possible. So, our instincts, habits, and emotional reactions in the man have for their purpose and result in the fact that we can go along in this world, in the environment in which we are placed.

Hello!
This is a special time for this old building on Main St. In November of this year, the building turns 100 years old!

Originally a Masonic Temple built by members of the community that were part of the first attempt to incorporate Flat River. The attempt was not successful because WW1 and the Mine Riots disrupted the process. Flat River was incorporated many years later.

In 1947, the ground floor became the Flat River Post Office until the one used today was built in the 70's. Masonic meetings were still held on the second floor during that time. The Flat River Masonic lodge eventually merged with the Desloge lodge.

When I was 13 or 14, I worked in the building for a few weekends around Halloween while it was a temporary haunted house.

Joe Crews purchased the building around 2005. He did a lot of remodeling. That's when it became the well-known All Occasions Hall. There have been a handful of owners since and it continues to operate as an event center.

Stay tuned for event announcements that are open to the public.
