I became a Mason for one simple reason. Men I respected, were Masons. Plain and simple. Yes, I have a family connection, my father is a Mason. Both of my (deceased) grandfathers were Masons. My Great-uncle was a 33rd degree SR Mason, and big in the Shrine. But I did not join because my relatives...

Ronald Reagan, president from 1981 to 1989, was made a Mason "at sight", he never took the symbolic degrees, and never joined a lodge.

Please do not get discouraged. The process varies from state to state. In New York a petitioner only needs to provide two or three character references, and they need not be Masons. Kentucky requires the petitioner to have his petition form signed off by two members of the lodge he is...

Re: Is Masonry too cheep? I think Masonry (at least at my lodge) is a bargain. My annual dues are $65 per year. This includes local lodge dues, grand Lodge assessment, and a subscription to the statewide masonic newspaper. My grandfather paid $25 per year in 1920. That was more than a weeks...

He should check out www.military.com and go to "freemasons in the military" discussion group. also send him this link www.gloklahoma.com He can locate an Oklahoma lodge, and submit a petition.

The Shrine is a fantastic organization. I wish more men/masons were Shriners. The Shrine provides excellent FREE medical care for children. 19 orthopaedic hospitals. All medical care, transportation, is free. All services, artificial limbs, wheelchairs, etc free. All transportation and...

Check out http://www.emfj.org Their discussion board is the worst, I have ever seen.

Re: Texas Freemason License Plate-Revisited Brothers, just get on with it. First, contact your state Department of Motor Vehicles. Then contact your state representatives and state senators. Get your Grand Master to contact the governor. You should focus on first, getting a license plate for...

This happens often. I connected with a man down in McAllen. I told him to find the lodge, and ask for a petition from the secretary. The lodge secretary found a sponsor for him, and he took the EA last week. It can be intimidating and confusing, for a person, who knows no masons, to approach...

Re: Texas Freemason License Plate-Revisited Apologies not needed, my brother. I am delighted to see that KY will get Shrine plates. I would like to see KY get Eastern Star, and other appendant bodies! Alabama has had a Shriner's tag for some years, but there is still no license plate for the...

Re: Texas Freemason License Plate-Revisited I am the individual, who got Masonic license plates in KY. I met with my state Senator, Dr. Nicholas Kafoglis, in Bowling Green, KY. I obtained a copy of the Masonic license plate legislation, that was used in New Jersey and Pennsylvania (for masonic...

Masonic lodges and masonically-affiliated groups, donate millions of dollars to charitable and humanitarian activities and causes. But I feel that we can do more. And I mean collectively, as an organization. Of course, any mason is free to donate his own resources and time, to any charitable...

Masonry has a splendid and wonderful tradition of serving our fellow man, both within the Masonic community and without. For example, Masonry was behind the establishment of the first public schools in America. Our appendant and concordant bodies support terrific charities, and the benefits go...

Amateur Radio is NOT a rich man's hobby. The equipment is quite reasonable. There are tons of equipment for sale at flea markets (called "hamfests"). And used gear on e-bay. If you can get an estate sale, the widow is usually glad to get the stuff out of the house. You need to check in with...

Why aren't you a ham operator? I taught the material to my uncle, after I got my "ticket". The exam is not hard, and there is no morse code. UHF Television stopped at channel 69 or so, some years ago. I do not believe there are any plans to allocate any of the channels between 69 and 83 to...

I am a ham operator, call sign AB4Y (ex- WA4YRA). It was a ham operator, who first introduced me to Freemasonry. When I lived in Columbus, Ohio, we had an all-ham degree team, the "Hiram-Hams". Whenever a ham operator took the Craft degrees, we would get hams from all over central Ohio, to...

I would like for more lodges to donate band instruments to the schools. In tight budgets, music and the arts are the first to be cut. Contact the band teacher at your local school, and ask if they could use any new instruments.

quote- predicating its membership on Masonic membership -unquote The way around this, is to set up your Saturday morning breakfast club, and base membership on "anyone interested in Masonry". Make the club "open", and thus anyone can join. Also, in your constitution and by-laws, insert a...
