Same here. Hard stuff at my age.

When I joined the lodge (Kentucky) I was assigned a mentor to teach me all that I needed to know. When I was ready to do my proficiency my mentor informed the lodge and I delivered it at the next meeting. The following meeting I went through my next degree.

From what I have been told my lodge here in Kentucky has approx. 80 members but there are far bigger lodges. One that I visit has approx. 350 members.

Last night at lodge one guy was talking about the Horse Trading Degree. Would not tell me anthing about it. Said I would have to experience it for myself.

I'm a fairly new MM so please forgive my ignorance. I have never heard of Toastmasters. Is this organization a part of, or connected to, the Craft?

And I hope that I always feel the same way.

From what I understand here in Kentucky there are buildings where two or more different lodges meet.

I read both of these when starting out in the degrees and learned a lot.

I have never heard of this. I have been a MM for two weeks, wearing my Masonic ring all this time, and no one has questioned me in public concerning my membership.

At this point in my short Masonic association I find all of the meetings interesting, even those discussing paying the bills!

All federal holidays.

I'm a new MM and I have not run into this type of problem before as it pertains to lodge politics. Interesting and informative.

Great article as well as follow up articles at the bottom.

Same here.

Sounds like a total jerk to me but my wife tells me that I shouldn't be judgmental.

Yeah, you can see symbols EVERYWHERE even when they are not really there. When I see comments about the Masonic symbols in the map of D.C. my reply is you can find these same symbols on the map of ANY large city including here in Louisville if they are what you are looking for.

Cool! Looks to be in great shape.

I agree. Old traditions need to be kept while some operating procedures need changed such as instituting some methods to bring more young people into the Craft.

Interesting articles.

I believe that here after 2 years of NPD without making some type of arrangements you can be expelled.
