Earn It Again
"This requirement not only
will boost the confidence of our Masters as they accomplish these
achievements, but the entire lodge benefits from the growth of the Master,
because he is willing to share the degree work and the privilege of
conferring the knowledge to candidates for membership."
- Stephen Gardner,
RWGM: 2008-2009

The question: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE to ensure that we will
still exist as a fraternity in another two hundred and
fifty years?
As many of you know, Our Grand Master has decreed that
all incoming Worshipful Masters be proficient in conferring at least one
degree

"We need to remember the excitement and the
thrill we had when we experienced Freemasonry for the first time. As
Freemasons, we must live and lead by example and live up to the
fundamental principles of what Freemasonry is and means to us. We need to
get back to our roots and get reacquainted with our ritual, our brethren
and our way of life. We need to practice Freemasonry in our everyday
living for everyone to see and be a part of... then we will truly
"Earn It Again."
We cannot expect our brethren who traveled the
Masonic road before us to be the only driving force keeping Freemasonry
alive. We all need to do our part to preserve our rich heritage. Our
degrees are the most beautiful explanations of who we are and what we
stand for. The greatest gift we have to give is our history and the desire
to share it with another brother. Be a mentor, an instructor, a floor
officer or just attend your lodge meetings. Protecting Our heritage for
Future Generations and keeping our history alive is enjoined upon us all.
"
