We issue the dues card at the conclusion of the Masters degree... For EAs and Fellowcrafts we give a temporary card indicating the brother is a member of our lodge at that degree.
My lodge has not issued one because brothers get raised and issued a card and dont come back or pay dues
In OREGON your 1st year of dues is included in the degree fees...eg: i was initiated in mar or April of 2013 passed in June and rasied in Oct. I didnt pay dues till this year. 2014 was covered in the application fees
Yeah. I got my dues bill in duplicate the night I was raised. I was told the copy would serve at my own lodge until my check cleared, or that like before I could get a dues paid member to escort me. I'd been told to bring my checkbook and how much it would be.
I got mines right after I was raised which included my 1st year dues was included in the initial fee.
We get a card with the signature portion cut off upon being raised. We get a full dues card once we turn in our master mason exam.
My first year dues were included in my initial fees. My card was issued shortly after my raising. I am now an officer in my mother lodge and we are exempt from dues.
