Hello from Chicagoland!

Decided to attend another dinner prior to stated meeting at the local lodge. Met some other members and instantly connected with a couple folks in the same line of work. Made me feel less closed up having something to talk about that we have in common!

Turns out one of them was one of the members of my investigation committee I have not me with yet! Nice surprise and really nice gentleman.

Enjoying the slow pace of the progression. Trying to get to know the members of the local lodge was a very good idea.

Have a great weekend all...will let you know if/when things progress.

Blessings and balance to all!

Finally met the remaining two members from the local lodge who are part of my investigation committee. Very good folk...had a lot in common with each them. Very honest and open discourse. Thought it went well. Step by step....

Cheers

Happy Holidays! I'm sorry - I'm not waiting for Thanksgiving to start saying it...I love this season...wife and I spent all yesterday putting up the tree and nativity set....listening to Christmas music and had the fireplace going the entire time. =-)

Met with the other members of my investigation committee. Very good guys, and things went really well. I recently found that the fellows in the lodge voted at the last meeting and my petition for EA was 'passed'! I don't think I've been this excited since the day before I went into military basic training. (Wow...that was a long time ago!)

So now I am waiting for news to come on a date/time to begin the journey! Anyhow....that's my update!

Cheers
Julian

I am both humbled and excited to relate that my petition was accepted. I now have a date for my EA degree. My wife is almost as excited as I!

Love to read the posts on this forum. Will continue to visit and contribute here and there...but will now focus on family and the Holidays.

Looking forward to posting in December as an Earned Apprentice!

Blessings to all!!!

Good to hear. I hail from Cornerstone Lodge No. 91 F&AM, Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Illinois. Hopefully one day after you're raised we'll cross paths in our travels. Congrats again fellow Illinois Brother.

Well, my journey begins tomorrow evening. My first degree ceremony is set and I am both nervous and excited. I am not a young man. My journey is to start late in my adult years (51). But I am looking forward to it, and my wife is both supportive and just as excited.

Have not read or researched anything since I was informed by the lodge that I would be joining the fraternity. (Following advice posted often on this board)

Let you know how it goes!
