I have a have a policy in place. If you are going to make a motion, come to me before the meeting with what you're going to propose. We will talk about it. If it is bad for the lodge or it requires more thought, it won't be heard that night.I belong a lodge that I really enjoy being apart of. We have our senior warden come back to lodge after 20 years and will be master this coming masonic year. We have exhausted most of our savings, and need to think about fund raisers, and also trying to become a thing in our community again. But we have one member that wants to spend money we don't have, but when we need to fix something or replace something, this member becomes Mr technical, and trys to make it sound like we are spending more money than we really would be. We have a new young member who has watched to many you tube videos on freemasonry, yet they let him waste time yapping about nothing during business meetings. When asking the new master coming in about any of this or old business that he will inherit, we get, well, I don't wanna step on anyone's toes, and all I'm here for is the friendship etc,etc. If you can't fix or choose to not address problems why become master ?
I would always consult my wardens and part masters before flat out saying no. However, if you still stand up under new business, you're not going to be acknowledged unless I know you have other business that has been agreed upon.
