My lodge is wonderful. With the (almost assuredly) incoming W. M. and several others we have just established a DeMolay chapter, and we have Rainbow Girls (I'm not sure what is up with Eastern Star these days though). The current W.M. has been so several times and is also R. W. M. as he's been a Deputy Grand Master in the past and a former H.P. in the York Rite and received the honorary 33rd Degree in S.R. This guy is my mentor, but he wasn't Master when I was raised: we have several people who are P.M.'s who are under 50 and line officers (myself included, as a line officer) and our lodge is in fine shape both financially and in terms of new initiates and folks in the line (which is a serious commitment, as you all know). We have monthly Bean Suppers (a New England thing, I guess) and make ourselves known to the community in a myriad of other ways. We're working degrees nearly every month and even worked one when we were "dark" and have monthly officer training school.
That being said, we still have some issues with Stated Meetings. Pretty much all the officers are there (some are officers in other lodges, one will become W.M. at a neighboring lodge in January, a strange time for that) but there are times when Stateds are just the officers and others where nearly everyone wears a P.M. apron. We get it done, though, and every pitches in. Not everyone can make every bean supper or education evening, but we get it done, and as the Senior Steward, I can say we get a lot of help. We're brethren. I live 20 minutes away from my lodge, and most live closer, but we get it done.
My lodge ROCKS. We do it together, and Senior Officers including the W.M. contribute. We meet on the level and part on the square.
