Biographical Note
The Order of the Amaranth is a fraternal organization composed of Master Masons and their properly qualified female relatives. In its teachings, the members are emphatically reminded of their duties to God, to their country and to their fellow beings. They are urged to portray, by precept and example, their belief in the "Golden Rule" and by conforming to the virtues inherent in truth, faith, wisdom and charity; they can prove to others the goodness promulgated by the Order.
The extent of its charitable work and overall benevolence is limited only by the opportunities that exist, and the ability to secure adequate funding. Its major philanthropic project is the Amaranth Diabetes Foundation. The flag of the appropriate country is prominently displayed at all meetings creating a strong sentiment of patriotism and devotion to the respective land that we love.
The Arbor Vitae Court, No. 40, is the Plainfield area branch whose home has been the Masonic Temple at Park Avenue and East Seventh Street since the court was instituted on September 27, 1930.
