It is my understanding(I might be wrong).....If a US worker's job is sent overseas,this would be covered under the NAFTA treaty and the worker is entitled to unemployment benefits up to three years and there are provisions that entitle the worker to return to school or college with tuition paid by the government.Also if the worker is paying for health insurance,the amount paid for the year would be tax deductable. Again,I'm not 100% sure of this.Do a search on Trade Act Programs.

yeah sure. Message me your aim sn if you have one. I'm always on so you can easily contact me to play.

Awesome. I think I will pursue both rites simultaneously if I am able. I am also trying to gain my Master Mason status sooner than later.

Yes, you can join both rites. In order to join the Shriners, you must be a member of one of them and advanced to the last degree. I have heard tell that some lodges and even the Shriners have relaxed some of the requirements in order to get more members. I pay my dues now, but seldom attend. I do participate in the Shriners gatherings from time to time. Wichita Falls has a private shooting range!

I am a Master Mason from the same lodge I sent you. It is good to have an a new one. The fraternity is slowly eroding and young blood is good. Do you have plans to advance beyond Master?

I am from the masonic order #873, Wichita Falls, Texas. You?
