Yay!!!!
I think pretty much all of us have been stopped atleast once (I cant count the number of times, myself), by park rangers, wanting to know why we're walking around with flashlights, and carrying shovels, rakes, etc...
Just burrying a dead body, sir... you gonna arrest me?
hope you are feeling well :smile:
any where a fight may break out as not to be friends?
I miss my park :chagrin:
the guy was cool, though and wanted to read our clue.
It certainly could be where nature lovers each other greet....
Membership in the Fraternity is voluntary. Traditionally, interested men would ask a known Freemason to how to join. For a very long time now, new members have NOT been solicited, to ensure that a man's motives in becoming a Mason are pure. In Minnesota, today, as a practical step, we accept some low-key reminders to potential candidates IF offered respectfully. We also consider it very proper for our members to invite non-members to participate in our social, charitable or educational events in order that the new man may get to know us.
What matters is that potential candidates decide for themselves to join us, based on a fair perception of the Fraternity and a desire to improve themselves and their society.
Upon a man's request, we then supply an application we call a Petition, which the candidate is asked to fill out and sign. Along with a nominal Initiation Fee, this Petition is then sent to a local lodge, or more commonly, passed on to a lodge by a sponsoring friend or acquaintance. In previous years there were territorial restrictions that governed where one might join, based on his home address. This is no longer the case. Some men travel many miles to attend a particular lodge. We have approximately 160 lodges statewide - you can find a local lodge by clicking on this link. Upon the receipt of a Petition, lodges investigate each interested man as to his good character and deportment, and vote on his request to join. Upon an affirmative vote degree work is scheduled. Some lodges schedule degree work as needed, while others maintain a regular system of scheduled degrees beginning every three to six months.
Alternatively, a One Day Class (ODC) provides a faster route for joining. These single-day events are held regionally or as a statewide program, usually on a Saturday. The best ritualists and speakers are gathered in one place to perform the most impressive degree work possible, designed to give the new candidate the best impression of the Fraternity we all hold so dear. Minnesota's ODC events are enhanced with interesting educational programs and opportunities for guests. ODC petitions are also routed through local lodges, and candidates are often sponsored for the One Day Class by a local lodge - it's only the degree work that is done as a larger group. The most common reason to use the ODC is if the man has a difficult or on-call work schedule, if he may be called up at any time for military duty, or if the local lodge does not have a set of degrees planned in the near future. Of course, new Masons that join via the ODC are able to establish the same social and fraternal bonds that all members enjoy.
FYI - Other jurisdictions [states] will have their own rules on all of this. If you are located in another state, you can contact 'your' grand lodge by clicking on this list of North American grand lodges.
Whichever way you choose to join, via the traditional method of petitioning a local lodge, or by joining us via a One Day Class, we appreciate and applaud your interest. More details follow, below.
Submitting a Petition for Traditional Degrees
If you've made a decision to become a Mason, and wish to fill out a petition, you may fill out this standard Petition form, or contact your local lodge for a copy. Once you establish interest in a specific lodge, they will alert you to any fees required to take the three degrees. At that time the local lodge will explain when their next set of degree meetings will be held.
If you don't know which lodge would be right for you, you can get a recommendation on nearby lodges by contacting the Membership Committee via e-mail here, or you can call the Grand Lodge office at 651-222-6501. Tell us your interests: some lodges are more social, some less so. Some emphasize charitable activities more often than others, while a growing number of lodges are focused on educational and esoteric pursuits. Perhaps you will want to attend a lodge near work, or home, or even a specific, historically significant lodge. We can help point you there.
A great idea is to simply visit several nearby lodges at their public events, listed here on the main page of this website, or by exploring individual lodge websites, found by clicking on the city name on this page, or by calling them to ask when you might stop by. We look forward to your inquiry.
