Charles T Raymer Lodge was chartered on April 15, 1922. It had many members who were of Scottish heritage. It became known as the Friendly Lodge. In 1972 Covenant Lodge merged with Raymer and the name was hyphenated. It is now known as Charles T. Raymer-Covenant Lodge #683.

Raymer-Covenant has long had a reputation for good ritual work as a number of the members were part of the Robertson Fellowcraft Team. The ritual sets Freemasonry apart from other fraternal groups as well as being an invaluable aid to learning for new Masons. It is therefore incumbent on all Lodges to strive for quality and consistency in this area.

Raymer-Covenant has in the past been supportive of a number of charitable causes. This is not reason to sit on our laurels, but an inspiration to find ways to increase our giving and increase our public exposure. Reminding the community of who we are is the first step in rebuilding the Masonic-Civic bonds that defined our earlier Lodges and brethren. This is where our prospective members will see us and be persuaded to ask for a petition.
