Cape Island Lodge No. 30 supports the area surrounding the city of Cape May, an historic Victorian seaside community at the peninsular tip of southern New Jersey. The lodge was chartered on January 11, 1854, by the Grand Lodge of New Jersey, which is recognized by the United Grand Lodge of England. Its membership includes men of all ages and walks of life, who are dedicated to practicing brotherhood and bettering the local community. This often takes the form of social events which raise awareness and philanthropy for community development projects, student scholarships, the elderly and infirm, local service members, and others in need. Cape Island Lodge No. 30 maintains such involvement as a way of life, one by which its membership may better serve God, Family, Country, Neighbor, and Self.
