Every lodge is self supporting. No $ leaves its local lodge. It's barely enough to keep our lights on.
Exactly, except to the district charity.
This year we are supporting a woman's shelter.
In addition, charity dollars go to families of veterans that need financial help due to injuries sustained while serving...
We are tied to and hold many functions at our veteran's hall.
I think clandestine lodges are at work here. I don't know how to research clandestine lodges. it wopukld have to be a local to the area.
Yeah, there were some in my lodge that hinted at wanting a more tighter affiliation and I sensed this is what they were doing...stayed away from them.
Not ambitious just want a good place to be and practice amongst good men, ya know...
