"A Masonic Lodge usually meets one or two evenings a month to conduct its business, vote on petitions for membership, and confer the three degrees of Masonry." The meetings may include a speaker or other program of interest, sometimes open to family and friends. Many activities are held outside the Lodge Room, such as: dinners, trips, sporting events, visits to veterans hospitals- -in short, a variety of activities.

Masons are also very much involved in community service and charitable works, providing over a milliondollars-a-day, nationally, to help Masons and nonMasons alike. Freemasonry (or Masonry) is the oldest and largest fraternity in the world. It brings together men from all walks of life for fellowship, the promotion of integrity, and good citizenship. It is not a political or religious organization, but does require a belief in a Supreme Being. If you would like to know more, talk to a Masonyour questions will be welcome.
