When I realized I was getting no response to my emails, I phoned the local Lodge as well as my state Grand Lodge. When my calls were not returned, I checked the Lodge's website to find what day they meet. I made a trip up there about an hour before the meeting time and talked to some of the brothers who had arrived early. They were most helpful with answering my initial questions and pointing me in the right directions to get the ball rolling to begin my journey. I am now an Entered Apprentice in said Lodge, preparing for my Fellowcraft in just under two weeks.
So as the previous poster stated, hit the streets...go to the local Lodge that you had emailed. They may seem somewhat defensive at first, but the more you show your face and profess an interest, the more open they will become to you and, most likely, will welcome you with open arms and give you any assistance you may need in the petitioning process. You are at the very beginning stages of the greatest journey of your life, I wish you the best of luck. God Bless.
