    Stated Meeting on Holidays

    Warren, when you open your pdf, you will see an area that says find. Type the word you want to find and press the arrow on the right side of the box. This will give you options. I use find next in current pdf. Try it you'll like it.

    New Mason's program

    Rhit, please check out your statement about the order. It is my understanding that the Worshipful Master should be first, then RW DDGM, Wardens and Brethren. Even thought DDGM is in attendance the WM is still in charge of the Lodge. Maybe our resident expert, Bill Lins can give us some...

    Tilers Oath

    If a Brother Texas Mason comes to visit and the Worshipful Master required more than a current dues card and picture ID, I would question the WM's motive. I think we should encourage visitation, not make it difficult. I understand care should be taken with visitors from other jurisdictions...

    The S & C are displayed in Eastern Star meetings just as they are in Mason meetings. I think it is appropriate.

    Where does he get off....

    I agree. The Grand Lodge has rules that were set up and have worked well for over 150 years. If Lodges need to close, close them. But "Where does he get off...... wanting to make rules that if you miss 3 meetings you will be suspended. I know sometimes things need to change. That is life...

    Ideal Membership Number...

    I would love to see every member of the lodge active. But, as we have discussed here, there are many members of our lodges in their dotage.

    Where does he get off....

    My Lodge has 66 members and not very much money. I guess we should shut the doors, we have been active for 130 years but so what.

    Secretary Question

    GLOT also sells dues notices that you can put in your own envelope. Josh, you will have to keep a record of who has paid, then around May you can send a second notice. Hopefully everyone pays with the 1st notice but don't hold your breath. Good Luck
