Attendance Record Set at June Quarterly The June Quarterly Communication set a record for attendance when more than 2,100 masons attended the meeting held in the auditorium of the Zemba Mosque in Harrisburg. Another attendance record was set when almost 2,000 masons were present for a dinner prior to the communication that was served in the dining areas of the neighboring Scottish Rite Cathedral. The Grand Master accepted the invitation to meet in Harrisburg so that Master Masons in the central area of the state might witness a meeting of their Grand Lodge without the burden of travel to Philadelphia. They responded in record numbers to the credit of the officers of the Grand Lodge , Zemba Temple and the Valley of Harrisburg who worked long and hard to make the communication a success.
