"Dad, what do you really ao at those Masonic meetings?" "A Masonic Lodge usually meets one or two evenings a month to conduct its businessvote on petitions for membership, and confer the three degrees of Masonry."

Many activities are held outside the Lodge Room, such as: dinners, trips, sporting events, visits Jto veterans hospitals in short, a variety of activities.

Masons are also very much involved in community service and charitable works, providing over a million dollars a day, nationally, to help Masons and non Masons alike.
