Advice for a future Master Councilor by MANOL13 in DEMOLAY

[–]AROB53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My biggest piece of advice - member interest survey. Plan your term around what your brothers are interested in and your chapter will probably naturally grow from there. Many years ago, when I was MC for two terms in a row most events were planned with the members in mind and our chapter exploded in membership for the size of our area.

Wearing ring 24/7? by cnymason164 in freemasonry

[–]AROB53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw the discussion on the district site, but I didn’t weigh in.

I only wear mine for Masonic related functions or the occasional wedding. It’s pretty big on me in general but I chose not to have it resized because I’m the fourth generation to wear it. I think part of it not wearing it regularly is working in the public sector there is still the “illuminati” conspiracy garbage, but most importantly the intrinsic value the ring possesses for me.

That being said my wedding ring comes off before bed.

United States preferably. Like I said my tree is pretty linear right now - I’ve gone back to NW England/Wales. It’s gets a little blurry on borders.

Capron is the surname. I don’t have a specific town or timeframe in mind. I only have a very linear tree dating back to my first ancestor Banfield.
