OUR ORGANIZATION
Built on brotherhood, service, and the freedom of the open road
There’s a moment at the start of every ride—helmets on, engines settling, hands finding familiar grips—when you’re reminded you’re not riding alone. Connecticut Widows Sons exists for that reason. We are a Masonic Motorcycle Riding Association: Master Masons who share a love of motorcycles, a commitment to our Masonic values, and a desire to be present for our communities. We ride for fellowship, for charity, and for the bond that forms when good men travel the road together.
We are not a “club” in the way many people assume. Our focus is character, accountability, and representing Masonry well in public. Membership is rooted in good standing as a Master Mason, a respect for family and obligations, and a willingness to support the chapter and its efforts. We keep it straightforward: ride safe, conduct yourself with honor, and treat others with the same respect you expect from them.
Our calendar includes organized rides, meetings, and opportunities to support charitable causes—often alongside other Masonic bodies and community partners. Whether it’s a benefit ride, a local event, or simply showing up when someone needs help, we aim to be visible in the best way: steady, reliable, and service-minded. The motorcycle is the vehicle; the mission is the connection we build and the good we can do together.
If you’re visiting because you’re curious about who we are, we welcome that. If you’re a Brother looking for fellowship and purpose on two wheels, we invite you to learn more. Connecticut Widows Sons is about riding with intention—keeping our obligations first, our standards high, and our brotherhood strong.
Thank you for taking the time to understand our chapter and what we stand for.

CHAPTER LEADERSHIP
Brother Michael A. Carver
Founding Brother · Connecticut Chapter
A lifelong rider and dedicated Mason, Brother Michael helped establish the Connecticut Widows Sons to bring like-minded men together around the ideals of brotherhood, safe riding, and service. He’s known for keeping the chapter focused on what matters—showing up for one another, supporting our Masonic family, and giving back through charity rides and community events across the state. When he’s not organizing routes or mentoring new riders, you’ll find him building relationships with local lodges and ensuring the chapter operates with respect, discipline, and a clear purpose.
“Ride with purpose—brotherhood first, charity always, and the road will take care of the rest.”
Brother David R. Nolan
