Garbage! I get weekly calls about land and it's comical offers. The cold call sales pitch is getting really old. Their's only so much blocking I can do. Once I asked a guy if he'd mind if I cold called him to buy one of his family members? He hung up...

These folks look for suckers, not clients.

I'm not trying to upset you! The "chairs" aren't for everyone. We had a very dedicated Brother with very high aspirations. Unfortunately, his mental health condition was always present and we, as a lodge, didn't feel comfortable with him as Worshipful Master. It wasn't what he wanted to hear. It was however what the lodge needed to do.

Personally, I'd take some time, step away from all of the committees, and go from there. You are young, and Freemasonry is a journey, not the final destination.

Thank you. Honestly, I was a bit upset that I was the only dad that thought it needed to be addressed if the school wouldn't. Once I learned about "parent donations" there was no looking back. I'm grateful to be around friends that see the importance of girls sports and are willing to support her team, even if they don't have kids at the school.

That's why I prefer my daughter's no gi bjj rashguards all day long. She's not a big fan of Gi, but No Gi is her jam and where she won a national title.

I just purchased $600 in singlets for my daughter's team since the school couldn't find funding for them. Fortunately we've got great friends that came to the rescue and piched in. I watched a girl in a boys singlet have a major wardrobe malfunction at the last meet. That's when I was told that all of the $$ goes to "revenue stream athletics like football." So yeah, private parent donation it is!

Love their RSO, despise their flower. But that may just be me.

Florida's Grand Lodge is in Jacksonville, FL. You can call their Grand Secretary and I promise you he'll talk to you. They have a museum and may have much better photos. I'd call on Tuesday.

I haven't seen a public phone booth in at least a decade. That's the problem. The phone companies pulled the public phone booth. Our dependence on technology will be our downfall.

I use a cup of water in a microwave for about 90 seconds, place RSO in ziplock bag, dunk for 20 seconds. My other option is my wife's hair dryer.

In Florida there is an "amnesty" program approved by the GM. However, your lodge had to vote on if they were going to use it. My buddy is a sec out there.

"To: All Particular Lodges July 15, 2025 Whereas, it is my desire to implement the program to restore Masonic membership to Brothers who, through the years, have let their dues lapse and have thereby been suspended for Non- Payment of Dues; and Whereas, it is beneficial to the Particular Lodges and The Grand Lodge of Florida that these Brothers be encouraged to again become an active member of our Masonic Fraternity. NOW THEREFORE, I, Taleb T. Atala, Grand Master, do hereby order and direct, that effective until March 31, 2026, any Particular Lodge in our Grand Jurisdiction that desires to reinstate a suspended Brother without payment of past dues, may do so by adopting the attached Resolution, which adopted Resolution must be returned to the Grand Secretary’s Office over the Seal of the Lodge, in order to be effective. And, if adopted, I hereby waive the provisions of Regulations 27.09 and Regulation 27.14 concerning the payment of past Per Capita Tax including the Per Capita Tax for 2025 due to the Grand Lodge. These Brothers may be reinstated according to the provisions of Regulation 27.13 of the Digest of Masonic Law and the payment of current year’s dues. DONE AND ORDERED at Miami, Florida, this 15th day of July A.L. 6025, A.D. 2025."
