I've been unable to contact the book store. Their phone number seems to be set to fax mode. Here's the number for anyone to try. Let us know if you get through. Find out if the exhibit is open during the week. (512) 476-3669. I just sent them an email inquiry to info@domystore.com.
I am the first mason in my family in America. I don't know about my family in Italy though. After I became a mason in Colorado one of my younger brothers did also in New Jersey.
I'm trying to find out if this gallery is open only on weekends. I suspect the exhibition is only Saturdays from 7 to 9 pm. I called the Webb Gallery in Waxahachie and their recording says they're only open on Saturday and Sunday. The Domy bookstore opens at Noon. So I'll call then and find out...

You know, in some parts of the world masons don't advertise themselves. The lodges are not obvious and masons don't wear rings, ties; put bumper stickers or masonic plates on their cars. In some places being a mason can get you arrested or at least you can become suspect and subject to...
I was given a white leather apron upon being raised in Colorado in 1983. I've been wearing it to lodges ever since. Recently my wife sewed a belt and clip onto it because the leather ties finally broke off. I never wear the cloth aprons provided by lodges. My apron is a real lamb skin. Under the...
There are already masonic orders which admit both men and women and are for women only. They have been around since the late 19th century. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-Freemasonry and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry_and_women
You are correct. Perhaps different tiers of dues would be appropriate based upon income. Also, the budget may include income from fund-raising events. However, it is very apparent to me that masonry in the United States is undervalued by its members. It is ridiculously inexpensive for what it is...
It's nice to see that someone else thinks as I do. I've always felt that lodges have asked too little monetarily from its members. A budget should be drawn up, voted upon and then the dues should be set accordingly to meet that budget. Dues may change from year to year depending upon the budget...
If one is so inclined, there is a way to help Brother Haas defray his legal expenses by making a donation to a fund. There is a link to the fundraising site at http://masonic-crusade.com, or the direct link to the fundraiser is: https://www.giveforward.com/donate/index/19615.
Verdict Information: Kanawha Circuit Court Judge Carrie Webster ruled on Tuesday that the Grand Lodge violated its own internal rules in the manner in which PGM Frank Haas was expelled without a Masonic trial. However, today the jury awarded NO remedy or damages on the breach of contract. The...
I have completed three of the six lessons of the Master Craftsman-I program. The course costs $35.00 and includes the Scottish Rite Ritual Monitor & Guide, by Arturo De Hoyos. This book alone is priced at $65.00. If you've ever tried to read Albert Pike's Morals & Dogma, you will appreciate the...
This website has a succinct overview with links concerning the progress of the WV trial regarding Frank Haas' expulsion:

I'd like to add some thoughts to this discussion. First of all, it seems to me that I am not a deputized policeman of the GL of Florida when I am traveling. It's not up to me to discern the masonic bona fides of everyone sitting in a lodge I'm visiting. In fact, it's not up to me to decide who...
I contacted the former district instructor discussed above. This is what he wrote: "My experience has been as you mentioned. I asked a Grand Master that very question years ago and he gave me the same answer."
Here is an interesting section from the Florida Masonic Digest (Law): "ACTS OF OTHER...
I must say that I have to agree with you. The word 'solely' was an interpretation on my part and not stated in the compact. I, for one, would love to visit PHA lodges, but my GL (Florida) does not recognize its corresponding PH GL. Interestingly, though, our district instructor stated that if we...
