I was informed 3 weeks ago by our Dist. Instructor that no PM can protemp a WM (not that he doesn't know how). It can only be the SW or JW else the lodge is not opened until another date when 1 of those 3 are available. Hence 1 of the reasons that JW & SW must be able to open/close all 4 lodges.

Is there a pdf or basic template dipicting the basic responsibilities of officers in a lodge? Maybe a guide or something? If so please send me a PM where I can provide my email. Much appreciated…

i believe it should be the complete LIFE program. Keep in mind that there may be a situation where the JW would move all the way to WM if something happened that the SW AND the WM were not present (even for a meeting) and the JW is next in line to run the lodge.

Count me in!

send me an email with Lodge information & location. I'll design something for you to look & when you approve, I'll let you know the cost (+shipping). Email is jerrylbarr@gmail.com

Here's a couple of Navy Boxes and clock. Then there's my first box that I made for myself. I have a FB page where I show the different projects that I've made as well as new ones that I'm working on and coming.. https://www.facebook.com/CarvingsByJerryB

Here's another "Keepsake" military box that I made for a cousin with a birthday this month. Just finished it last week and shipping it out tomorrow..... He's an ol' warrior like myself although I'm retired Army.

Yes, I do sell some of the things I make. The "Keepsake" box is one that I make in Oak and sells for $125 +shipping. I can and have made it in Pine (less expensive), but it just doesn't look as nice. Here's a couple of more pics on that one for someone who made 33*. I also added all of his...

Sorry, I must have done something wrong & put my reply in brother Bill_Lins77488 respose. My apology. (There- I think I fixed it for you. ;-)

I don,t believe I agree. Again, I believe that there are certain things that are and should be done in a MM lodge only. One day another change will come down that we can give the MM "grumble" which will give EA & FCs the "look & feel" of the balloting by a MM. For centuries we work hard @...

Just thought I'd post a few pics of a hobby that I have in woodcrafting. I made a few for our local lodge (East Fork #650) and have started making more for surrounding lodges. It's fun and I find it somewhat theraputic... ha

If the code book is for sale and has been for many many years, then why shouldn't the GL get some if the profits? The dues keep increasing & many brothers are leaving cause of the high costs and our struggling economy, yet there might be some financial help IF the GL would start selling the code...

never did understand that. Only MM can vote, yet its done in a EA lodge. Some changes don't quite make sense.

sorry, cant say I've heard of Mastercraftsman tests. What are they and where does one get the material?

I still don't truly understand what this anti mason thing is all about between catholics and masons. I was raised a catholic and no longer follow the practices. I have been a mason for 25+ years. My brother is a KC & I still don't get what the whole thing is all about. I've heard stories about...

It is my announcement and privilege to say that my son & I became Shriners of Hella Temple yesterday. I look forward for us to learn much about the Shriners fraternity.

Excellent. That makes more sense to me. The "exam" is just to further recognize the brother for whom he says he is. Sure hope that's the way it's been sent out.

Understand, but do you know if it's true that the Grand Lodge passed something that it is no longer necessary to perform a small exam on a person requesting entrance? Just seems that it contradicts about ensuring that we're supposed to make sure that a candidate is "thoroughly" investigated...

I understand that when a person visits a lodge here in Texas, all that is required is ID (Tx Drivers License) and your membership card? If so, what ever happened to "checking" a candidate before being permitted in to the lodge? Now a day anyone can make a dues card. Someone mentioned that the...
