Thank you for sharing this. Unfortunately, I see Lodges that meet right at 7 o'clock, open, discuss business, close, and immediately disperse. To me, that's not what Masonry is about. That's paying bills but with fancy rituals.
I'm lucky to be part of a Lodge that meets for meals, participates in the community, hosts allied appendant bodies in its halls, raises scholarships, promotes Masonic education, and numerous other great things. It's my hope that by living this list, our Lodge will continue to grow and prosper.
