accountability is the best support I know.

Heck yea that works like a champ come to find out. :) It also created one of the best discussion in lodge I have ever been apart of where the brothers came out on the same page and ready to work together.

Could not agree more but rarely in our society has one generation passed the torch without some razzing. I believe it is a right of passage kinda the poke we need to step up to the new bar. I look forward to hearing how you apply some of these changes to your lodge because i bet I will emulate...

This is exactly where you start. Plus nothing gets inactive members in lodge like talk of raising dues. ;)

good to have you

I wear a shirt or hat pretty often and have decals but I try to make my actions the biggest advertisement for the craft.

The Prince Hall newsletter is so awesome. I love it. Brother Benton I also love a paper magazine to carry into the throne room with me and agree going digital would add but decrease readers but things changed SO fast for the GL financially after the economy went south and investment...

I'm Texan and will always be so I have no choice I love the heat and adore humidity. In the cold I can keep my torso warm but my feet freeze no matter how many socks I put on and like Brother Nate it just wears on me.

I do not care for Wal-Mart much anymore and might shop there once a month, for small stuff only as well. This is reason more not to shop there. they have killed the true meaning of Customer Service, but they will get you cheap prices. Myself, I will pay for good service.

This is the aprons we have and they are from JP Luther titled TX Officer aprons. Not that this will make them legal but I am curious now if they are illegal? Pic did not work so I added this link below our aprons are BN-16-1...

Gloves look so sharp in a degree

Would anybody have a problem wearing leather aprons if you visited a lodge and that is all they had to offer you to wear?

Just to through an opinion out there. It erks me that cloth aprons where ever allowed. I have not found in the catechisms where it mention the wearing of a cloth white apron. The lamb skin is symbolic and most lodges cloth aprons are in poor shape. To me it is corner cutting on something...

oh wow! I wonder if any other Brinker restuarant does that? I like Chili's and all but Saltgrass would be the bomb!!!

Our dondation bucket has not in a very long time covered meal cost. We leave the donation bucket out for giggles but the cost are covered as the Brother said above by dues as well as degree fees. If you serve better food as well donations mysteriously get bigger.

uhhhh what he ^ said! I am guilty of not calling that behavior out on the spot and if the clock turned back I am not sure how I would have change it.(Hence Puss Boy ;) Not to give excuses but my lodge was infected by the worst kind and there was one or two friendlies always being ran off. In...

Great response with many great ideas but if I may go through it and make a few points and ask a few questions. On point one concerning Endowments a lodge is not allowed to require an endowed member to pay anything in the way of dues. Our lodge before rasing dues asked for about 3 years for...
