I was wondering if someone knows the rules / requirements for Vanguard Lodge Awards. I have searched the GL website and it doesn't list them anywhere. I want to get the tradition started again at my lodge.

What about at the individual lodge level? IE...adding a one liner in the by-laws to subvert this kind of behavior. You might never be able to do something at the GL level, but you are a member of a lodge that could.

Wow! I really like the generalized statements which lumps us all into catagories. This is a tough time as we transition from one generation to another. But lumping us (I do wish you unknowledgeable brothers would wake up, become familiar with ALL rules/ codes of Freemasonry, not just he one's...

Some of you may know Brother Bill (PM Pleasant Hill Lodge) & Ola Jean Jones, some may not. Both are the sweetest most generous people, active in the Lodge and the driving lead in Rainbow Girls. Life would be bleaker without either of them, definitely. For over a month now Ola Jean has...

I am already a member here (On the Forum) and have introduced my self already but was wondering if anyone was associated with the Lodge above. My Great Grandfather was a member here and I am planning a Masonic visit as soon as I can afford to.

I have determined that there are a few states that I will (currently) have no desire to go and visit masonically.

Yep this is what Masonry is all about right here.

I mean openly and in public eye we do not bring political dissent on to Masonry, but as an organized group effect change.

I always think to myself when talking to someone about Masonry, "would I have this person in my home while my wife is there and I am not?" If the answer is NO then the answer is NO.

Our bretherern entered the lodge as Masons in front of everyone and Native Americans came out, afterwards Native Americans entered the lodge and Mason's came out. I think that's how Mason's deal with political dissent. "Speak softly but carry a big stick!" T.Roosevelt

My wife made it for me :P

I got a pretty dang big apron

You want to know what I find sad? The fact that this is necessary and having to be put to a vote.

27? Wow!

There's an app for that!

How sad

I just wanted to free up more time for talks and fun vs. the constant "business" part. I feel this is what causes people to come in get raised and never come back.

My thought was to place a framed piece of cork board just inside the lodge room. The secretary would post the minutes there and remove them on his way out at the end of the stated meeting. Any corrections could be noted on them directly or given to him for changes before he goes home. A group...

I was going to suggest that a group (usually the officers but open to any brother) read the minutes in the secretaries office before we eat. Then the secretary would post them inside the lodge room on a piece of cork board for any brother that wishes to read them. Then we (those of us who...

Can meeting minutes be posted instead of read at every meeting?
