Does the Grand Lodge Support the License Plate issue? And if it does could they start a escrow account to hold monies sent to the Grand Lodge for License plates untill they became available. That way the Grand Lodge would not have to risk the initial money and could make some money. If that happens sign me up for three. My idea is that they may be unwilling to risk the initial investment but I am willing to bet that if it is avaliable a lot more orders will come in than the start up cost.

We recently put on a great Masters degree, we invited the sons of Hiram and they had some members out, Shrine Circus is in town, so they recruited another degree team. The combination was great! Thats what makes Masons great, we can work togather.

I assume that nobody submitted the proper paperwork for this year. That being said, I can assure you it WILL BE done next year.

Is there anyway the S&C can be in front of an outline of the state, and have A.F.&A.M.?

Also, how easy woukd it be to have plates transfered to another vehicle? I hate to see the plates stay on my truck when I decide to sell it.

Since the design is a generic square and compass, we would need to consider the Prince Hall Grand Lodge as well.

My Dad was a Amatuer Radio Operator and had plates that when he sold the vehicle they did not transfer.

BUMP for a great idea! I'd love to have a set of them after I get raised.

Brothers, just get on with it. First, contact your state Department of Motor Vehicles. Then contact your state representatives and state senators. Get your Grand Master to contact the governor. You should focus on first, getting a license plate for the Craft Lodge. Then once it is done, then you can move on getting the appendant bodies and Shrine,etc.

Biggest problem is not getting discouraged. Alabama has been working on it for years, Alabama has a Shriner's tag, but not yet one for the Craft lodge, because the dept of motor vehicles needs a minimum order, and not enough masons have stepped forward.

Florida has a masonic tag approved, but the final order for production is held up in the maze of the state government in Talahassee. The Grand Master of Masons, is pushing to get it moving forward.

I encourage you to keep after it. I did the initial start-up in Kentucky, and I hope that eventually all states and territories have a masonic license plate.

I didn't see a place where we could make our own design. You have to choose from 1 of the 18 already made.

We are about the only organization that does NOT have a Texas specialty plate. You would think in these times where the "powers to be" want to promote Texas Masonry someone at the state level would have stepped up and got this accomplished. Just my $.02 I have personalized plates and would love a Masonic plate.

I'm in! Have been since I was raised. I still don't understand why we don't have them available.
