Not long ago, I submit a thread about "Did I choose the wrong lodge". (you can find it within this forum if you look)
That thread kind of segues into this thread...
Recently, at lodge we were informed about a Child ID event at a local facility. (apparently this is a mandated activity cast down from the Grand Lodge- or so I'm told)
During lodge, the WM strenuously requested volunteers to help the SD run the event. I'm only a FC but I said I'd be able to make it a few hours on the day of, and our WM & SD will be there as well. (seems odd to me to plan an event, prior to being able to staff it, but apparently that's just how the GL works).
Nevertheless, I got word from the WM last night that so far NOBODY is planning on coming. (except himself & the SD).
Now I know I'm a new FC, and I know that supposedly masonry isn't supposed to take #1 place in a brother's life but -- for cryin' out loud guys, this seems ridiculously UNmasonic to me.
I work full-time and go to school full-time, and I'm still able to make it. I just don't get why others can't show.
It's like the WM mentioned the event and everyone went "running-for-the-hills" as fast as they could!
Any thoughts?
