At least 3 of us from New Braunfels plan to be there.

There are, and for those emergencies, I'll let it slide. But we have some appointed officers that family and work life have prevented them from showing up to 75% of our stated and called meetings. They have other priorities in life, that's fine, I just hope they aren't appointed again next...

I think if you are an elected or appointed lodge officer, you should make it a priority to attend all stated and called meetings at your lodge. Other brothers get a pass from me, but if you agreed to be elected or accept the appointment... show up. And if something else has become a higher...

We do a citrus sale every year. We have a connection with a farmer in the valley. We take preorders, add about 10% for any orders that come in (leftovers go to our local emergency women's shelter) and then call in the order to the farmer and take a truck & trailer to go fetch em. We make a...

And as we all know now, the noon start time was correct. I'm hoping next year the Grand Lodge and the Shrine can get on the same page. Its not a huge deal, but having the correct time published in both places sure would be nice and help with planning.

New Braunfels Masonic Lodge #1109 will confer an EA Degree on Tuesday February 18 at 7:30pm. Meal (open to the pubic) at 6:30pm http://www.nbmasoniclodge1109.org

However, without a current dues card, you are no longer in good standing and could be prevented from entering a tiled meeting.

I want to say that his lodge may have taken care of that last year. I don't know if its a result of this but I seem to recall Blake or someone else saying something along those lines.

SIAP. The Grand Lodge of Texas just posted the new "Between Friends" series. I'm pretty impressed with these videos. I believe they are the same ones that the DDGMs have on DVD that they are giving to each lodge. I'll definitely be putting a link to this on our lodge website...

I have such a problem with this. I always have to wait at the corners. Some candidates you almost have to tackle them to get them to walk a slow speed with you.

New Braunfels Masonic Lodge #1109 will present the Community Builder Award on Tuesday January 28 at 7:30pm. This award is presented to a non-Mason who has served their community. A Meal will be served at 6:30pm. Both the meeting and meal are open to the public. http://www.nbmasoniclodge1109.org

I think there is a tradition of it. Or at the very least, a tradition of just not ever checking. But then you get in the state of 'once in the door, always in the door.' But then you don't know if they are current with their dues etc. I'm not sure what the push is behind us checking them, if I...

You are not currently a member in good standing. I'm pretty sure that you could be denied entry, depending on the WM, if you do not posses a current dues card. For our January stated meeting, at my lodge, we (Deacons) will be checking Every dues card and reminding any brother that if they do not...

I get that part. It was more of a comment about not wasting everyone's time. That's 2.5 hours (or whatever it was) multiplied by everyone that was there.

Meh. I can see both sides. You want to stick it out out of loyalty and doing the 'right thing' and then the BS just becomes too tiring. I'd say by not going in 2 years, you sort of already made the choice. Maybe give it a couple of meetings, see if its any better and if not, buh bye. And I...

So was that stated in Grand Lodge, and if not, why? Seems like important information that would maybe stop 'rumors'.

(original post was deleted?) So, if this is true, can someone tell me why I should attend Grand Lodge? Aint nobody got time for that.
