The answer to that question is yes, and no. Until recent years, any type of solicitation for membership in the Fraternity was strictly prohibited and frowned upon. Anyone seeking to become a Mason was always required to make the first move toward obtaining an application. Essentially, this is still basically true in the sense that all must join our ancient Craft of their own freewill and accord without any undue influence. However, contrary to the opinion of some, we are not a secret society. Our meeting times, officers, and activities are openly advertised, and our buildings are wellmarked and quite visible. And there are many legitimate ways in which we can encourage men to become interested in membership without improper direct solicitation. One very effective method is to wear your Lodge shirt in public as much as possible. This will often lead to comments and opportunities to explain the Fraternity, its purpose and workings, and method of joining. And, certainly, every member should always have a petition on hand to give out to any who show interest in membership. Also, the Secretary of the Lodge has numerous information tracts and a short DVD available to give out which gives an excellent overview of the Fraternity and the method of obtaining membership in it. This video as well as printable petitions are also available at our Website at Many Brothers carry Lodge business cards with them which can be given out to individuals expressing interest in joining the Fraternity. However, all of these excellent tools are only as good as the number of Brothers taking advantage of them and getting them into the hands of prospective members. The membership of our Fraternity is very diverse in occupations, backgrounds, age, and cultures. Consequently, our opportunities to display our Craft and its virtues are almost endless. In short, don t hide your Fraternity from the community. Visibility and publicity is a key ingredient in membership growth. Get out there and be seen! Growth will follow naturally.
2 Sickness & Distress Please let our Chaplin, Master, or Secretary know of any who are sick or in need so that the Lodge can respond accordingly. Without Brothers reporting cases of distress, there is usually no other way we can know when our help or support is needed. And as always, please keep all those in sickness and distress in your thoughts and prayers. Perpetual Members Mark A. Atkinson Kenneth E. Ammons Wilbert L. Anders, Jr. Ronald E. Baber George V. Benjamin Brady W. Chapman John G. Collins Robert B. Coverdale Earl W. Dennis, Jr. Douglas W. Dobbs Michael R. Dobbs Joseph K. Fenton Earl M. Grimes John E. Hokanson Edwin T. Holman Ryan P.

The Order of the Eastern Star will be making a presentation about the structure and purpose of the Organization. This will provide an excellent opportunity for member s wives (and girlfriends) to learn about the OES and to meet and get to know its members better. Please RSVP Doug Dobbs. The Special Olympics will be having their annual Bowling Tournament from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on Saturday, September , at Cortez Lanes. They will need as much help as possible. If you can help out, please see Bill Dunning, Bill Dalgarno, or Doug Dobbs for more info. The craft voted to raise our potluck dinner to $10.00 and the whole dinner will be provided by the lodge.

Prize is a certificate redeemable for the following year s dues ($80.00 value). For example, tickets currently being sold are for 2015 dues, and ongoing raffles for 2015 dues will continue until dues notices for 2015 are mailed out in October of After that date raffles will continue, but will be for certificates redeemable for 2016 dues.
