Welcome to the forum, CT.

I know of at least one lodge that does that, and would guess there were more.

It's a "meme." If you want a poster, you'll probably have to print it yourself.

If visitation is permitted in both jurisdictions then there's no problem. Enjoy your ability to visit many lodges.

Hopefully not ALL of them in one day... congrats, and enjoy.

Harkens back to a rougher time when you needed to be able to carry all your gear yourself. There are even songs about it. IMO

Re: What are some of the reason you brothers have One reason I've seen is political in-fighting.

If you are ever heading towards Thailand, there are several English Constitution Lodges there, as well. One is being opened for the first time very soon.

Mindovermatter, I'm still confused how you thought there were private parts of this forum when you were never verified. Even forums that take weeks to join will guard against some discussions. You are correct that discussions about a cloudy vote are prohibited, and we try to keep them from...

I've never heard the term used, either.

I would have thought that the ease with which you found this forum ( and joined it) would have given you a clue how public it is. But as it has been said, no "secrets" that get posted stay up for long. The staff keeps a pretty close eye on the topics.

I believe "outdoors" needs to be added to that sentence. There's a statue of Robert E Lee at the Capitol.

My little lodge in NM set dues for seniors at $74, while others pay $240. Mind you, that includes 12 meals. Do essentially you're paying $120 in dues and $10 a meal. And no, you don't get it back if you don't attend.

As we've mentioned in other threads, a person can easily spend $4 a cup for coffee every day without blinking, buy a beer or two every night, have a (useless) gym membership, a huge TV, a monster truck... but .50 (that's fifty cents) a day is too much for Masonry? Priorities.
