Links to other places you may (or may not) want to visit! Oh, what is that picture on the main page? Well, it's a real lynx. I hope you didn't expect to find animals here!

How does a man become a Mason? Don't wait to be asked!     Ask, Seek, Knock
Or... "2B1 Ask1". There is no other way. Some men are surprised that no one has ever asked them to become a Mason. They may even feel that the Masons in their town don't think they are "good enough" to join. But it doesn't work that way. For hundreds of years, Masons have been forbidden to ask others to join the fraternity.
We can talk to friends about Masonry, we can tell them about what Masonry does. We can tell them why we enjoy it. But we can't ask, much less pressure anyone to join.

There's a good reason for that. It isn't that we're trying to be exclusive. But becoming a Mason is a very serious thing. Joining Masonry is making a permanent life commitment to live in certain ways. To live with honor and integrity, to be willing to share and care about others, to trust each other, and to place ultimate trust in God. No one should be "talked into" making such a decision.

So, when a man decides he wants to be a Mason, he asks a Mason for a petition or application. He fills it out and gives it to the Mason, and that Mason takes it to the local lodge. The Master of the lodge will appoint a committee to visit with the man and his family, find out a little about him and why he wants to be a Mason, tell him and his family about Masonry, and answer their questions. The committee reports to the lodge, and the lodge votes on the petition. If the vote is affirmative -- and it usually is -- the lodge will contact the man to set the date for the Entered Apprentice Degree. When the person has completed all three degrees, he is a Master Mason and a full member of the fraternity.

Sign up for our newsletter and be notified! Or, Le' Newsletter.

So, why would you want to sign up for our newsletter you ask? Well obviously... um... er... I really have no clue. Last time I looked... I wasn't you! I'm stuck being me. :::sigh:::

Anyway, what you get with our newsletter is some updates about our site and products, new releases, some inane observations (generally insane) or maybe some notice about up coming sales. Maybe even one of our "secret sales" that only newsletter subscribers are privvy to. Or not. You never really know until you get it!.

What I can tell you is what you will never get. Your address is secure with us. We don't sell, barter, throw around or give away any information about you. So, the only junk you get will be our junk! I mean our prestigious newsletter!

If you really want to know a secret, the only reason for the newsletter is so that I can get the satisfaction of annoying folks with my idiocy. I'm a simple man. (Some would say quite)

Fair warning however. I will do my utmost to try and deliver it when you are having dinner, or late at night when you really don't want to be bothered. Try to think of it as telemarketing by the naive.

So how often do we aggravate you with our news? Maybe once a week. Maybe once a month. Maybe once a quarter. No set time at all. Pretty much whenever I get a round tuit (shameless plug).

If it gets to the point where it's been a long time since you got one, drop me a line and I'll try and scrape something up. (I'll assume you are quite masochistic)
