Azle is the moon lodge

it never fails to amaze me that the resolutions I expect to be a headache are withdrawn and the slam dunk resolutions are either voted down or have to go to paper ballot.

when in the D.C. area, I visited Naval Lodge in the D.C. grand lodge jurisdiction and Alexandria Washington at the G.W. Memorial in the GL of Virginia jurisdiction. Alexandria had me give the step, dugard, and pass word after checking my dues card and looking at their list of lodges. then had...

As I set there and watched the vote being taken, I grew more and more disappointed. I have visited a lot of small lodges; some are very sharp and take pride in their work, some are flat-out embarrassing to watch. I'm sorry, while in general I say let the lodges decide, there are some lodges...

Just finished the book and was pleased with it. I was expecting the normal conspiracy crap that we have to deal with, but as mentioned numerous times in the previous posts, it actually portrays us in a good way and gives a good explanation of what we are all about. Of course it wouldn't be a...

As an FC, the DDGM asked me tp define moral turpitude me for him. There were some masonic charges filed under moral turpitude and he needed a definition. One of the local county judges is a brother and told the DDGM to ask me to define it for him. I wrote a memo defining it and it is a...

Took the tour and loved it. When I arrived there was no one else there so one of the tour guides, who is a brother, took me on a one on one tour. I really enjoyed it. As I was finishing up my tour and just walking around, people started to arrive and were going to do the fashion show again...

I walked by it today, but it wasn't open. My training schedule isn't conducive to visit during the weekdays, but I believe it is open next saturday and I plan to visit it then. It is very impressive from the outside though.

greetings, I tried to post this friday but due to all sorts of computer shenanigans, it didn't post. so here it goes: Being stuck in D.C. for 3 weeks for mandatory government training, I am going to visit some of the lodges in the area. My first visit was this last thursday to...
