My lodge yearly dues are a bit above 300 euro. Close to 400 us dollars. That doesnt include coffee and drinks. In my country, thats an average amount as far as i know. For me, its a lot of money, but very much worth it. A sportsclub would cost a similar amount, lessons at the music school double...
That is a hard predicament youre in. I wish you and your brethren wisdom and a good solution. Do you want to leave your lodge? Is that actually the solution? Can grandlodges help here? I dont know the solution, but your story is a good reminder to be watchful in my own lodge. Im blessed with how...
In the Netherlands, lodges have a calendar called 'Arbeidstafel' where the lodge meetings are listed. Many lodges actually post these on their websites. This is very useful for deciding when to visit where. Is this a custom internationally? And what would such a calendar be called in your...

To get back to that return on investment, good men make freemasonry better. If you let in the good men, it will be better. It really isnt about roi. I dont thing this should be a theme when deciding to let someone join or not. Part of that argument also has to do with the strange idea some ppl...

In our lodge we initiated a candidate who is a refugee from another country. He does speak our language, but limited. We know that limits some of the things he can do in lodge. However, he has life experience we can all learn from and be inspired by, and we know we can offer him a place in a...
