Sorry I have been busy with work etc... I was initiated and sat in my first stated meeting this month. I was also asked to protem for the Associate Worthy Patron as he was filling in for our Worthy Patron. Great experience. Wow these ladies know how to draw in visitors for other chapters.

First off I should say I agree with this article with one caveat. The average pay of an American worker has not risen at the same rate of inflation. Plus the items the average American pays for in their home has gone way up( Phone electricity cable water taxes insurance...) not to mention the...

I am going to get an Endowment for myself. That will allow me to pay my dues when I can thru the year( because an endowment is intended to provide for the lodge after you are gone)instead of by Dec. 31 . December is a difficult time traditionally, With Christmas and all. So what I plan on doing...
