    Experiencing a Surge of New Masons?

    Yea, I have been noticing the EA hump with one of our EAs lately. I have pretty good faith in him that he will go ahead and continue pressing forward with it and have no problems at all. How do ya'll combat that EA hump? I don't hound him, but I do talk to him a lot and reassure him that he...

    Experiencing a Surge of New Masons?

    You know what??? That right there is an awesome idea!! We are in a really small town and our lodge has been here since right before the town was founded (I believe). There is one of those geneology groups that meets up at the library pretty regularly. I'm betting that those folks have family...

    Experiencing a Surge of New Masons?

    Brother Brent, I don't know if ya'll have thought about it yet or not, but an idea that I came up with for my lodge is making a Facebook "Page" for your lodge.

    Experiencing a Surge of New Masons?

    I have noticed something in my smaller lodge here in Burnet, and wanted to know if the same thing is going on elsewhere. Lately, there has been sort of a "surge" of new younger Mason's petitioning at our lodge. Now, some of you in the larger lodges may think of a surge as being like 15-20 guys...

    Online Applications for Lodges in Austin?

    Well, I guess I am glad that I didn't see all these harsh comments...lol By the time I got back on to this thread a few minutes ago, there was only one that I took as being harsh. So, I don't know if some were deleted or if I just blew through some of them. Hopefully, you caught that I did...

    Texas Mutual Recognition and Visitation and the Clandestine GL Epidemic

    I have been out of the loop a little bit from the forums lately, but is there some NEW talks going on between the GLs? I hope that all of this stuff comes to a rest sometime soon and that it doesn't take waiting several years for the younger cats like myself to be the old men running the show...

    Received The Scottish Rite Degrees

    Congrats, Brother Kyle!! I don't have much time to dive into all the feelings that I had felt after going through the Scottish Rite degrees, but I can say one thing. After becoming a Master Mason, I really didn't have any kind of urge to go Scottish Rite and only wanted to go York Rite. I...
