AFM 22

1. Create awareness of our Lodge and its activities in the community.

2. Help to choose and annual fund raising project that will be a Harmony #22 annual project.

3. Consider a new sign for the Lodge at the corner of Ribaut Road and Depot Road.

4. Prepare monthly new releases to local media, creating awareness of our members’ activities in our community. You must let us know when you are promoted or become an officer in your church, Synagogue or Masonic organization.

5. Increase attendance by instituting a “Bring a Brother to Lodge” program. Through this program, each of us becomes a committee of one. Pledge to double and triple our attendance at regular meetings and degree work.

6. Visit neighboring lodges and invite them to join us.

7. Institute a degree team to help ourselves and other lodges more enjoy the work.

8. Most importantly. Let everyone know you are a master mason. There are numbers of men in our community that don’t know what we do, but knowing you are a master mason will want to affiliate because of your example of the tenets of Masonry in your daily life. None of us will ever know when we have influenced the life of another by our personal example. We don’t need to be president of civic clubs, political leaders or leader in Masonic organizations to influence others. I believe one upright man and mason, if known, can change the direction of our community.

As I have visited our neighboring lodges and learned again after 50 years what I had forgotten of the beauty and value of our work, I am firmly convinced we can triple our attendance and perpetuate masonry in our community by simple personal influences and attract new members.

I challenge you to help the officers with this effort. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

We are off to a great start this year! Our February regular communication was well attended, and we enjoyed a fantastic meal of shrimp gumbo served up by brothers Sonny Gay, Chuck Weickhardt, and Craig Dopson. A special thanks goes out to Brother Dobson for a shrimp gumbo to die for!! This is two months in a row that we have had great food. In January Brother Henry Chambers arranged for us to enjoy some caterer Steve Brown s culinary delights. At this rate we are on the way to being the best-fed lodge in the District. It would be great for those who have not come to Lodge recently to come and enjoy some brotherhood, fellowship, and a great meal with the Craft.
