Shooting at Norfolk Masonic Lodge

They talk of parties every weekend so I suspect that they rent out the building (or hope that is what is is).

Not good. My home lodge rents out the building's ballroom for wedding receptions and, unfortunately, quinceaneras. The guests at these would smuggle in their own liquor, so we would have young Mexican men, many of them in gangs, getting drunk and into fights. After a couple of these incidents we had to hire off-duty leos for security. I never liked seeing outsiders use the building for this reason, but the operational costs needed to be defrayed. The heating bills alone were atrocious. Winter in Wisconsin, go figure.

We have to be careful who we rent the lodge to. Even if it's not a masonic related event, it falls in the lap of the craft.

As brother Warrior1256 this is very true. We have to be very cautious when renting out our lodge wether it be for one day and never again or if it be one day a week or twice a month. It's very important the atmosphere these "parties" will bring to our lodge where I call home. My lodge has 2 lodge that meets there. Nothing else. Although in the lodges I used to visited with worshipful Ray Navor would rent them out on Sundays to a group of Catholics that would meet there that's it. Although I think weddings and other decent event should be okay. If they seem upright, cause weddings can get pretty out of hand ! ;) XD but I believe we can make wise decisions on whom the rent the lodge to.
