"Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you..."
To be one.... ASK!

Freemasonry is the world's
oldest and largest Fraternity. Its history and tradition date to antiquity. Its
singular purpose is to make good men better. Its bonds of friendship and
brotherly love have survived even the most divisive political, military and
religious conflicts through the centuries. Freemasonry is neither a forum for
nor a place of worship. Instead, it brings together men from all religions that
are based on the belief in one God.
Anyone seeking Membership in Freemasonry MUST ASK a member of a Masonic Lodge or a Mason to recommend him. He must sign a Petition, stating his age, occupation and place of residence. Members of the Lodge will visit with him to help understand the step he is about to take and then the members vote by secret ballot.
To be accepted, the ballot must be unanimous.
I See You've Traveled Some
Author Unknown
Wherever you may chance to be --
Wherever you may roam
Far away In foreign lands,
Or just at home, sweet home;
It always give you pleasure,
It makes your heart strings hum
Just to hear the words of cheer--
"I see you've traveled some"
When you get the brothers greeting,
As he takes you by the hand,
It thrills you with a feeling
That you cannot understand.
You feel that bond of brotherhood
That tie that's sure to come
When you hear him say in a friendly way,
"I see you've traveled some"
And if you are a stranger
In strange lands all alone
If fate has left you stranded--
Dead broke and far from home,
Oh, it's a grand and glorious feeling
It thrills you--makes you dumb,
When he says, with a grip of Fellowship---
"I see you've traveled some"
And when your final summons comes,
To take a last long trip
Adorned with Lambskin Apron White
And gems of fellowship,
The tyler at the Golden Gate,
With square and rule and plumb
Will size up your pin, and say
"Walk in--I see you've traveled some"
