What Is lewisvillelodge.org For?
Updated
lewisvillelodge.org is the website of Lewisville Masonic Lodge Number 201, A.F. & A.M., a Masonic lodge in the Lewisville, Texas area. The site introduces the lodge, explains what its name and abbreviations mean, lists its current officers, and describes its community and charity work. It is an informational site for members, prospective visitors, and anyone curious about the lodge—not an online service or store.
What the Lodge Name Means
The homepage answers the question many first-time visitors have about the “Number 201, A.F. & A.M.” in the lodge’s name:
- Number 201 — the lodge was the 201st lodge chartered by the Grand Lodge of Texas.
- Charter date — the lodge received its charter in 1857.
- A.F. & A.M. — stands for “Ancient Free and Accepted Masons.”
According to the site, the lodge has entered its 170th year in the area.
Officers and Leadership
The site’s page is headed by the name of the current Worshipful Master, W.M. Chuck Springer. It notes that:
- New officers were elected for the year from June 2026 to June 2027.
- All Texas Masonic Lodges elect and appoint new officers each year.
- The new officers are charged with the duties, responsibilities, and leadership roles of their offices, including representing and working for the members and helping the lodge and Freemasonry continue to grow.
Community and Charity Work
The lodge describes a tradition of supporting local communities, residents, schools, and children’s health and education. It runs various fundraisers benefiting charities around the Dallas area.
One named beneficiary is the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children (tsrhc.org). The site explains that:
- The hospital is known for advanced treatment techniques and equipment for children’s care.
- It treats Texas children with orthopedic conditions such as scoliosis, clubfoot, hand disorders, hip disorders, and limb length differences, as well as certain related neurological and learning disorders such as dyslexia.
- It was established in 1921 when a group of Texas Masons sought a way to care for children with polio regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
- Families are not required to have any affiliation with Freemasonry for a child to be cared for.
- After the Salk and Sabin vaccines largely eradicated polio in the Western hemisphere in the mid-1950s, the hospital broadened its focus to other orthopedic conditions and continues to treat children free of charge.
- As a pediatric orthopedic center, it has treated more than 220,000 children since its inception and now has more than 40,000 clinic visits and hospital stays.
