The Fraternity of Freemasonry is the oldest, largest and most widely known organization in the world!

Freemasonry is not a secret society, nor is it an insurance or beneficial society.  It is non-profit organization involved in charitable, educational and civic projects.

Freemasonry accepts men, found to be worthy, regardless of religious convictions.  An essential requirement is a belief in the existance of a Supreme Being.  It teaches the "Golden Rule."  It seeks to make good men better through it firm belief in the Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of man and the immortality of the soul.

Masonry has no creed, no priesthood, and no plan for salvation.  Neither is it an offspring of any church, ancient or modern.  It espouses none of them, nor is it subservient to any.  While Masonry does require a belief in a Supreme Being, each Mason worships in his own fashion according to his religious faith, whether he be Christian, Jew, Protestant, Roman Catholic, Buddhist or Hindu.

The Masonic Lodge, often known as the Symbolic Lodge, Blue Lodge or Craft Lodge, receives and acts upon petitions for the three degrees known as the Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Mason Degrees.

Masonry does not solicit members.  No one is asked to join.  When a man seeks admission, it is of his own free will -- HE MUST ASK.  A person interested in becoming a Freemason to secure his good counsel and recommendation concerning this important undertaking.

TO BE ONE, ASK ONE!
