Where are you?? [Archive]

There have been many postings by people here that want information on how to become a Mason, most are able to get that information here from a Mason.

Then the issue becomes, how do I find, contact or join a lodge local to me. I have worked to get two people connected, but mostly it is because someone put their location in their sig line or profile.

It would be most helpful if we could all either change our profiles or add it to a list here as a reference. I know some of you are not in a position or have a desire to be specific as to exact city, but perhaps a state listing would help these people and those trying to help them.

Please join in here an post your location. A Brother in Northern Illinois would come in real handy for me right now to help another person learn about the fraternity.

As for mel, I am in Tarrant County Texas.

SK, I hear you there. This is my second year in Commandery (I had to work last year and didn't get to participate). The Commander came up, handed me a ritual and said "Learn this stuff for the Inspection." Rofl, no warning, no advice. :rofl:

Regardless, I'm in the 10th Blue Lodge District in Ohio.

So...directions to the fish fry? HAHA Unfortunately the lodge I'm in right now doesn't do many things outside of the lodge...I visit the Dallas Pentagon lodge quite a bit and get together with them during their social activities. Hopefully some day that will change for us here in Seagoville.

Easiest way to get there....

From 75 North, take exit 45 toward Bonham. Take a left on 160, which becomes Hwy. 69 that takes you all the way into Bells. After you go through the intersection in Bells, take the first right next to Milano's pizza. The lodge will be on your right. We will start at 4:00 til whenever we run out of food.

See ya there.....:wavey:

Edit: Now the family (4 people) is interested in coming along.

I don't have the exact address, but it's located on W. North St. in Bells, TX. The lodge sits behind "Jackie's Catfish".

Yep - bring the whole family!

How do you think a two day practical pistol course will do in your area? We have only conducted LR Tactical Rifle and Combat Focus Carbine (last week) in the area. Lots of riflemen from Bragg and Quantico, but I don't know about the pistol guys.
