Great idea! I’m a newly installed JD in St Marys Ontario Canada. Our new officers are a bunch of guys in their 30s mostly and we are looking to kick some life into our lodge via a similar route! Great thinking, Brother!

Hello, brethren. I am my Lodge's education officer and I am working on research originally made by Bros. Mason Pratt and William Burkle on the "brands" of Freemasons. I am looking for Brothers to score themselves 1-5 in six different categories:

SOCIALITE: Attends social events, lodge, and generally promotes social brotherhood.
LEGISLATIVE: Actively takes up the role of officer and participates in lodge business.
RITUALIST: Devotes time to degree work and memorizing the ceremonies of Masonry.
PHILOSOPHER: Seeks the real meaning and knowledge of the rituals and symbolism.
HISTORIAN: Researches the extensive subject of the history of Masonry.
FIDUCIARY: Contributes to the financial well-being of Masonry, charities, etc.

Levels:
1 Basic
2 Average
3 Good
4 Expert
5 Master

With this information, I intend to help my Lodge's retention committee to see what our members are strong in and where they would like to improve. If you could leave your name, years as a Mason, and where you would like to improve, I would greatly appreciate it (would only be shown in a Lodge presentation at most). Thank you to anyone who participates.

Shekinah Lodge No. 241 • IL
Murphysboro Lodge No. 498 • IL
I am a 5 in all categories, I make a conscious effort to lead by example.

Just seeing this for some reason, I'll play along!

My name is Keith, I have been a Mason for a bit over 3 years. Currently Senior Warden in my Lodge.

Socialite - 3 I enjoy the social aspects but don't "live for it."
Legislative - 4 Served (briefly) as JD and SD, served as JW and SW, will be WM on December 27th. Also on several committees.
Ritualist - 4 Know all 3 degrees, have conferred several EA and FC Degrees, always attend District Instruction nights.
Philosopher - 3 Don't really see the point in ritual if you do not seek to understand the meaning behind it
Historian - 4 Really enjoy the history of anything!
Fiduciary - 2 Pay dues early, contribute whenever it is sought, sat through Audit Committee meetings as a learning opportunity and yeah...not my cup of tea!
