Hey brothers. My name is Derek. I'm new to the craft. I'm glad to be here to meet other brothers and make new friends. I look forward to using this app to help improve myself in masonry.

It is also known as a life member. I paid a lump sum of dues so that I don't have to pay annual dues.

What exactly is a perpetual member?

There are various names. Perpetual, life, endowed. The idea is you pay into an interest bearing account. It pays your dues as long as you live then continues to pay the lodge as long as the lodge lives. I have purchased endowments in 2 of my 4 lodges so far.

Perpetual Care (for cemetery graves) I know about but didn't know one could do that in any Grand Lodge jurisdiction. We have it (perpetual care) for many men's graves in my family. In the Grand Lodge of Maine, you can get your dues paid by the lodge at 86.
