I attended my first PHA event (or Masonry related period for that matter) yesterday. I don't know if it would be in proper etiquette to mention the Lodge by name or number, but guess it is kinda vague not to. I am just so happy about the experience that I had to share...
I'll say that at first I was super nervous. The Brother that invited me and was going to introduce me to the Lodge had a last minute family situation come up and was not going to be able to make it. I understood completely, family comes first. We were already there, and I was just about to casually blend me and the kids into the rest of the general public, when another Brother walked up and introduced himself. My family and I were welcomed, included, and made to feel at home in every aspect. It was camaraderie I haven't felt since my military days so many years ago. By the end of the event I had already been asked by many of the Brothers if I had gotten my petition yet and had made a direct contact for the KOP for my son.
Anyway, again I just want to share and say thanks.
