I'm glad you have presentations but here we were not given that opportunity. We tried to have an educational series after lodge but some who attended only did so to stop it. The younger guys went away mad becasue no discussion took place only those attempting to kill it.
Many Alabama lodges have fund raisers and the money is to keep the lodge afloat which is decietful to say the least.
The list is long why I demitted and would take too long to list here.
I look to a bright future out of the old system.

1. Our fund raisers are only for charity. While we do have minutes, bills, and sickness, we also have presentations each month which are open to the public.
2. We have educational presentations (usually masonic in nature) each month.
3. We don't requre GL permission for much. Even our webiste - just a motion in lodge.
4. We have outings, picnics, fishing trips, parties, and visits to other lodges, and sporting events.
5. I have seen some of our initiatives delayed - but never stopped - by red tape. |
