Invitation Letter Al Phurah Temple No. 126 invites and welcomes all Ladies of the Household to
“Southern Days in the Heart of Dixie” the fourth annual Southern Days Event.
We are so excited to host the event this year and hope everyone will come and enjoy
the fun filled weekend.
As you all know, Al Phurah Temple is in Montgomery, AL but due to the cost of
having the convention in Montgomery, it proved more economical to move it to
Phenix City, AL, just 90 miles east of our Capitol. The host hotel, Courtyard by
Marriott, is new and is located on the Chattahoochee River. In fact, there is a
Riverwalk with a foot bridge right outside the rear entrance that connects Georgia
and Alabama.
In your welcome packet, there will be brochures of Historical venues, shopping,
museums and many nearby restaurants. Also included is information of activities for
the men such as the Confederate Naval Museum, golfing and the National Infantry
Museum.
The hotel has a Bistro that is open for breakfast and dinner and there are
numerous restaurants nearby, some within walking distance via the walking bridge.
Bring a candidate. The initiation ceremony will be held at the Wilson Williams
Masonic Lodge, just three blocks from the hotel. The Phenix City Shrine Club
minivan will be available to transport everyone. Also, a light lunch will be available
there at the Lodge.
We hope you enjoy your time with us and if you need any assistance, do not
hesitate to contact any of the members listed below. We will be more than happy to
help in any way.
