How To Join
The
absolute requirements for becoming a Mason are:
- Freemasonry does not solicit members.
- Be a man, at least 18 years old.
- Have belief in a Supreme Being (of any faith.
No particular religion or faith is required or excluded. All are welcome.)
- You should be someone who does, or want to learn
to, enjoy the company of other men from all different social classes,
faiths, backgrounds, races, countries, etc. Masonry is universal in
its ideals.
- If you are a family man, Masonry considers that
your family obligations come FIRST, so you must be sure that you have
the time to participate (usually two or three evenings/month at first
for meetings and instruction, and then at least one evening per month
for meetings from then on -- often more if you get involved in lodge
activities.)
- You can afford the initiation fees and the annual
dues without hardship to yourself or your family.
- You should be coming to Masonry "of your own
free will and accord", to learn to improve yourself and to enjoy the
company of other good people, not because someone keeps pestering you
to join or because you think it will help you "get ahead" in business.
To
join, all you have to do is ask a Mason
preferably someone you know or at least who lives or works nearby.
- If you think you don't know any Masons in your
area, please send a message to our
Secretary and he will be very glad to help you or call 704-574-0624.
- If that doesn't work, you can probably find
a lodge listed in your phonebook, or your state's Grand Lodge. Grand
Lodge's are usually in the state capital, or other major city. Phone
book (yellow-pages) listings for lodges may be under "Masons", "Freemasons",
or " Fraternities".
Hope this helps. sincerely,
French Harvey/ Webmaster James K. Polk Lodge 759
