    DDGM Graded Visit

    Yep! I agree! Right, I'm holding out for the ladder certificate. P.S. The Charge at Closing. I was not graded on this at one of my lodges but graded on it at the other. Different districts though. Of course, I (WM) aced the one I wasn't graded on. Nailed three points for missing the...

    Endowments in Texas

    Have been dealing with insurance companies these past several weeks (who hasn't) and have been told that insurance dues are higher for those lodges that rent out or have more functions for the general public. Reasonable. You must have enough money to cover operating expenses and building and...

    Fund Raising

    We had a BB rifle and pistol shoot off today. Raised approximately $300 bucks for the lodge. Members of my other lodge were over and liked the idea and wished to possibly do this two or three times per year. I went to a fish fry at Humble Lodge last weekend that grossed $5000 or so...

    My Confession

    I can already vouch for Wild Bill_Lins. Boy's already got a lot of cajun in his bones. Come August, you cajuns mount a posse and make a run over to Billy W. Tinsley 1458. I'll be hiding in the EAST there then. We meet every third Saturday morning. Of course, you're welcome every 2nd and...

    My Confession

    State your lodge and stated meeting dates brother. I may go home one night and set in lodge with you. Better still, I would like to attend your installation if it doesn't conflict with mine or the one I'm turning over this year. It would be a thrill to set in lodge in the Lake Charles area...

    Greetings from the Bahamas

    Welcome to the boards! Enlighten and be enlightened.

    Is there a difference?

    Heart, hard work, friendliness, brotherhood, empathy, and openness make a lodge. Don't really see any dollar signs there. Neither many nor few.

    How do support your blue lodge?

    Ditto. Everyone stays involved and is proud of the contribution they make. That makes for a closer brotherhood. This suggestion should be acted on in every lodge, the world over.

    Christ or the Lodge? A Report on Freemasonry

    Brother Stewart. Not really surprised that you are an ordained minister. You posts are always very thoughtful and meaningfully deep. We're all well served to have your knowledge and advise on this website.
