About Us

What is expected of you if you join

- Our expectations in order to remain in good standing includes our yearly fee which which is currently of TBA per year.

- We also ask that you attend a minimum of six formal lodge meetings per year. But as with many other things, you get out of freemasonry what you put into it. This is why we ask that you commit to each and every meeting (generally once a month), with the understanding that life happens and you will not always be able to oblige.

- After each meeting, we have a meal together. This is actually part of the experience. As such, you are expected to be there if at all possible.

- We also expect you to write two papers in order to progress to the next level. One of them should be on symbolism and the other on anything you wish, provided there is a link to freemasonry. There is no time limit to get them done. So if you want to cruise along for a few years, it is fine with us and entirely up to you. You will of course get any help you want with these projects.
