Now that this is available for e-readers I will pick it up. I look forward to reading this and seeing what the author has to say.

I would just like to point out "No relation!"

As long as we all avoid infarctions we should get on OK.

Indeed best to ask a Tax attorney or Tax accountant. Most Lodges I have contact with are set up as non-profits but NOT charities. In any case given the reduced tax deduction allowance for charitable contributions in the US, I doubt it will matter in the end if you are located in the States.

I was thinking the same. Seems we will both be looking for the same guy!

This year will be my First Masonic Week and I am very much looking forward to the events, dinners and Degrees!

Indeed. We have an Organist in PA for Grand Lodge as well as a Soloist. One local Lodge I have been to has a piano and pianist. Otherwise no music in Blue Lodges around here. For Chapter we have recordings from the Penn State Male Chorus for the songs associated with the 3 Degrees we...

Farewell Brother.

Welcome to the forum! I hope you enjoy the experience either way, going through the EA and FC Degrees again might actually be the best thing to jog the memories!

And I will mention in Pennsylvania we only mention ONE St. John, St John the Evangelist on who's Saint's Day our Masonic Years begin and end. Also our Lodges are not dedicated to St John but to God, they are "Held forth in memory" of St John.
