The Manchester Masonic Lodge will host a special Dinner of Honor on Tuesday, November 11, at 6pm at River Raisin Distillery, 480 W Main St, Manchester, to recognize and celebrate veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders, including police, firefighters, and EMTs.

This heartfelt evening is a way for the community to come together and thank those who have dedicated their lives to protecting and serving others. Dinner is free to all honorees as a small token of gratitude for their service and sacrifice.

“We owe so much to the men and women who have worn the uniform—whether on the battlefield or here at home,” said representatives from the Manchester Masonic Lodge. “This dinner is about sharing fellowship, good food, and the incredible stories that remind us what true service looks like.”

Attendees are encouraged to bring their stories, memories, and camaraderie to share with others. The evening promises to be filled with gratitude, laughter, and community spirit in the warm atmosphere of River Raisin Distillery.

For more information, contact the Manchester Masonic Lodge or River Raisin Distillery. All community members are welcome to attend and show their support.
