#Honor and #Remember

Are we trying to force our membership to be involved? Or are we doing things that make them want to be involved? #ThisIsOhioFreemasonry #strivetobebetter

I mean, we are awesome! We are @HamiltonOh!!!

@AshlarRough What a shame. Those who think they know their work dot take the time to help those who are wanting to learn theirs. Lesson in how not to instill pride and purpose in you Members. Sorry Brother.

3 in attendance for what was Officers Night, or, a dress rehearsal for a 3rd Deg.. #WontBotherNextYear

@WYFreemasons @TheLodgeofDawn @UGLE_UniScheme But if it’s been done that way for 30 years then that’s how it’s always been done. 😂😂🤦‍♂️

@TheLodgeofDawn @UGLE_UniScheme Lodges are private and have their own etiquette. That said, if they’re failing to engage younger members, being instructed to wear full suits at Lodges of Instruction could be just the tip of the iceberg. Without adaptation, our Lodges probably wouldn’t have survived beyond 1720

@UGLE_UniScheme @WYFreemasons Any views on dress code for Lodges of Instruction? When I was younger, we were encouraged to avoid jeans because it upset the older boys at the MH. Seems a bit outdated now, don’t you think?
