  CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION               
       
The Detroit Lodge will be celebrating  
its 100 year anniversary in 2016.
 
To mark the occasion, we are asking for your help. There are many Theosophists who have spent some of their years as members of, as speakers at, or simply as persons who have attended some wonderful programs at the Detroit Lodge.


The Detroit Lodge would like to honor your experiences and memories by compiling a booklet in which there will be a permanent record of those times. This will be a wonderful place to share your memories and experiences in writing and send them along with photographs to us here at the Detroit Lodge.

We look forward to hearing from you.

The Theosophical Society in Detroit
