Wonderful! Thank you for sharing it with us! S&F, -Bro Vick

Thank you so much for posting this! As I look to move into the HP and TIM positions this next year this type of program is exactly what I need. S&F, -Bro Vick

Welcome to the forum and to San Antonio! S&F, -Bro Vick

See below if you are going to be in the San Antonio area on the 18th of June, it might be worth your time. If you want to go PM me and I will send you the contact information. Don't want to put a good brothers phone number out on the web. :) ALBERT PIKE MASONIC LODGE NO. 1169...

I think trying to be flexible and motivating is the best way. If you are too judgmental about them not being a 100% committed than it can turn real sour real quick (that happened to one of the EAs we had and his instructor). Also, the instructor and the EA have to click, if they don't then it...

There are, I posted some that have been listed in Texas as being clandestine and having more than 2 members. Also realize that degree peddling is common in the military especially in deployed locations. A SFC was selling 92 degrees in the Memphis Rite in Iraq a few years back under the term...

To be honest about it a lot of jurisdictions (wait for people chiming in that it isn't that way for them) most of the inter-visitation between GLs and PHA is regulated to once in a while, and brothers joining each others lodges are sometimes done as a political statement or a novelty, vice...

In September we had 7 men who were petitioning, or were already EAs, of those 2 have made it to Master. One has started working nights, others have stalled due to personal reasons (that don't need to be expressed here). We had two other men apply one of which has health concerns and the other...

Invitation is only good for Blake? I see how it is! ;)

Ticket punchers, men who are taking up positions of leadership to get a ticket punched to move onto to the next one. They usually do nothing but erode an organization and leave it worse than they found it. It happens in Blue Lodge, but is rampant in apendant bodies. S&F, -Bro Vick

Agree my wife broke hers when we moved in 2005, and they said there isn't much they can do, just take a bunch of Motrin. :) S&F, -Bro Vick

Wonderful! Being married to a PhD, I know the amount of work and sacrifice it must have taken you. No get to the esoteric work! S&F, -Bro Vick

It's like Tosh.O without the stupid commentary. :)

I do!

4/13/2012 Brothers and Sisters, It is hard to believe that it is spring of 2012. I must confess that I love the flowers blooming and the birds singing. This truly is my favorite time of the year, even though it took me a few weeks this year to adjust my head to daylight savings...

David - What time on the 17th? You can post it here or PM me, there is a good chance I will be able to make it. I am just debating if I want to deal with the traffic from San Antonio to Austin. :)

Salary seems to be common in more rural lodges, but there are some in San Antonio that have it, PU has it for the secretary, but that is it. One person it could be overwhelming we had 9 EAs at one time. :) S&F, -Bro Vick

Lodges had lifetime memberships before the endowed memberships. My mother lodge had it so you would pay 20 years worth of dues to "lock in a rate" then after 20 you didn't have to pay any more, and you had the same rate. When lodges stopped inreasing dues regularly, this became unappealing...

I wrote was, when you take the effort to actual read what I wrote, and have better grasp of the concept, I will be happy to re-engage. Until then...pass.

The PHA was deemed clandestine not irregular, you have your terms mixed up. So no, PHA was never considered irregular. If you have questions regarding their status with the.GLoTX and PHA than I would direct you to go look at the.compact between the two organizations. Your inferred point...
