Digital Bulletin Board for Masonic Lodges

Mango Display on a Masonic Lodge TV showing this week’s events

A Masonic Lodge building often hosts more than just the Lodge itself — Eastern Star, Scottish Rite, York Rite, DeMolay, Rainbow, and appendant bodies may all share the same calendar. The Secretary keeps it all straight, but communicating it to every member who walks in takes more than a printed tyler’s notice.

Mango Display shows the full calendar on a TV in the anteroom or dining room, live from the Secretary’s Google Calendar. Clean, understated, and dignified — no neon, no noise.

Why Worshipful Masters and Secretaries Sign Up

The Secretary already keeps the schedule. If the Trestleboard comes from the Secretary’s calendar, Mango Display displays the same data — no duplicate work.

Degree work visibility. New Brothers about to receive degrees see the schedule the moment they walk in. Rehearsal dates, degree nights, and fellowship dinners are all in one place.

Eastern Star and appendant bodies get equal billing. Color-code by body so the Lodge, OES, York Rite, and Scottish Rite all have visibility without crowding.

Visiting Brothers can see what’s happening. A Brother from out of town walks in Tuesday evening and immediately knows what’s going on in the building this week.

Dignified, not cluttered. Mango Display’s layout is clean — dark text on white background, no flashing banners. It fits the character of a Lodge.

Works With What You Already Have

Mango Display runs on most displays your organization already has. Supported devices include Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TVs (Tizen), Android TV & Google TV, LG Smart TVs (WebOS), Apple iPad, Android and Fire tablets, Amazon Echo Show, Windows PCs, any modern web browser, and Raspberry Pi. If your TV is a smart TV, you can usually install Mango Display directly with no streaming stick at all. If it isn’t, a $30 Amazon Fire Stick or Chromecast does the job. See the full list on our supported display types page.

Add your Post’s Google Calendar and existing Wi-Fi and you’re 15 minutes from a working digital bulletin board — no contractor, no installer required.

PDFs, Sheets & Auto-Generated Graphics (Business Plan)

Most Lodges publish a monthly Trestleboard as a PDF. On the Business plan, upload the Trestleboard and it rotates on screen alongside the live calendar — so every Brother who visits the building sees it, not just the ones who get the email.

The Business plan also supports Google Sheets display and auto-generated event graphics — useful when the Secretary maintains event data in a spreadsheet or when the Lodge wants consistent-looking event visuals without manual design work.

FAQ for Lodge Officers

Who should manage it? The Secretary typically owns the calendar. A Brother on the Temple Board or Building Committee can handle the TV install.

Can we keep tyled business off the public display? Yes. Run two calendars: one public (dinners, degrees, community events), one for tyled Lodge business. The public TV shows only the public calendar.

Can Eastern Star, Scottish Rite, and York Rite each have their own color? Yes. Each calendar layer can be color-coded so every body gets equal visibility.

Does it handle memorial service announcements well? Yes — a Masonic funeral can be added to the calendar and displays with the same dignity as any other event. You can attach a PDF notice on the Business plan.

Is this appropriate for Grand Lodge use? Yes — Enterprise is built for Grand Lodge or District-level deployments with many locations.

Masonic Lodge Notice Board

A Masonic lodge notice board covers formal Lodge communication: stated meetings, called meetings, degree work, practice nights, officer schools, District and Grand Lodge visits, festive boards, installation of officers, table Lodges, and memorial services. Using a TV as a bulletin board in the anteroom or dining room keeps the trestle board visible without printing new copies every month.

Lodge Meeting Announcements That Stay Current

Lodge meeting announcements need to reach every Brother, including those who attend irregularly. A printed trestle board sent by mail reaches some; a Facebook post reaches others; a notice on the anteroom wall reaches whoever shows up. A digital bulletin board reaches everyone who walks through the door, and it updates automatically when the Secretary changes a date or adds a called meeting. The Lodge Secretary manages one Google Calendar; every screen in the building stays current.

Add Photos to Events

Want to show a photo alongside an event — a portrait for an installation, a photo from the last festive board, or a notice for an upcoming memorial? Attach an image to the Google Calendar event and Mango Display shows it on screen with the event details. Photos aren’t auto-generated — you add the ones you want, whether it’s a portrait for a member’s birthday, a shot from last year’s cookout, a flyer for an upcoming fundraiser, or a headshot for a visiting speaker. The display pulls them straight from the calendar entry.
