Welcome, Brother, and welcome back!

Good for you, brother! Unless you bring a lantern with you on your journey, you'll never find the light, no matter how small. (Or something like that.) Maybe see if the Masonic Home near you needs help or volunteers? My lodge is sponsoring a bingo night next month at our Masonic Home...

Brother, the way I see it, you have two choices. Resign and find a different path or get involved in your lodge and be the Masonic light consistent with your obligation. You say you've been a Mason in name only for 29 years. It's up to you whether you want to be more than that in our...

All I know is that here in Maryland, they are a kind and courteous bunch who do fund-raising charity rides. When my elderly folks visited in June, there was a charity ride that stopped by our lodge and they loved my dad! Even let him sit on one of their (three wheeled) bikes. We have a few...

Thanks! I certainly don't hide my membership. It's on the back of my car, and on my baseball cap for starters!

Starting to get waaaaay off topic, my Brothers. :)

Thank you, Brother. Excellent advice (and thanks to all). Makes me think of the night I was raised when a more senior and experienced brother told me that I've done the easy part now. The hard part is living it. Wise words.

I am a Master Mason under the Grand Lodge of Maryland. I have made the request through my lodge secretary, who was supposed to make the request through my Grand Lodge, to the Maine Grand Lodge. I was told this was the proper way. Nothing for two years. I can try contacting Rabboni Lodge...

Hello to my Mainiac Brothers! My grandfather and great grandfather were masons in Lewiston (Rabboni Lodge). I've been trying for two years to find out about their masonic history but so far, "official channels" haven't gotten anything done. My dad, who is not a mason, but very happy I joined...

Cool!

Thanks for the ideas!

Brothers, With the understanding, at least in the US, that we do not "recruit" and being mindful of the slogan "To be one, ask one," what advice do you have on encouraging an upright man of good character to learn more and develop an interest in our brotherhood? Best regards, Mike

Good evening Brothers! I wish you all a good start to your week. Just spreading the word that the charitable foundation for our lodge (Ionic #145, Reisterstown, Maryland, USA) is up and running. We support local schools, community crisis centers, and sponsor limited college scholarships to...

Hi all, Maryland Mason here. I'm planning on submitting my petition to the Shrine soon. I'd appreciate anything you Nobles have to share, regardless of your location. Thanks! Mike

What's the current state of those merged lodges? Stagnant or growing?

Thanks.

Hello Brothers! Wishing you all a great start to your week. I am a recently (this year) raised AF & AM Master Mason in Maryland. What is the protocol for visiting a PHA lodge? DO I go through my lodge or the state grand lodge? I'd really like to connect with my PHA brothers.

In Maryland, we have a few regular events at our lodge: pancake breakfast, ladies night, family picnic, strawberry festival (a Maryland thing that I don't quite understand but really enjoy). Our Grand Lodge has an annual family picnic and a few other events. Events have been pretty well...

Wise words! Thank you Brother.
