Tyrians

Formed in 2014, the Tyrians chapter is located in the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh, and calls Plum Creek Lodge #799 in Plum, PA, our home.

We currently have a proud 28 active members and 9 retired members on our roster.  We also have many Past master’s, a current District Deputy, and a Past Right Worshipful Grand Master in our charter.

Our members are from all over the Pittsburgh and surrounding areas, from Bethel Park and Elwood City to Champion, PA.

Most of our monthly stated meetings are held on the second Saturday of the month at the Plum Creek lodge, unless we incorporate the meeting with a ride.  Then we may conduct our business on the road.

The Tyrians participate in as many local activities and fundraisers as we can fit in every year.  Our signature event is the yearly “Night at the Races” event, and we also do monthly gun tickets.  That event, along with our gun tickets, helps us make a substantial donation each year to our charity of choice.

Last year (2025), along with other smaller donations, we were able to donate $11,000 to the Stonybrook Foundation, which was our main charity for the year.

We also have a 12-passenger handicapped accessible bus that we use for masonic and community events, as well as to help anyone who may need a ride to the doctor or hospital and needs handicapped accessible transport.  We take donations for the Bus and advertise for companies and lodges with stickers on the exterior of it to help keep it on the road and operational.  It has been deemed the “Traveling Tyrian” and is a big part of our identity.

In 2025, a few members of the Tyrians chapter branched off on their own due to the distance and size of the Tyrians chapter and formed a new PA chapter for themselves called the Sidonians.  Both Chapters remain extremely close and often do rides and events together, and they will forever be viewed by us as part of the Tyrians.
