Ever see this bumber sticker?     Wonder what it means?

It is a landmark tradition that a Freemason may not ask a man to join the fraternity. If you desire to become a mason, you must ask one. It alludes to ancient scripture that you may have heard ...


"Ask and you shall receive,   Seek and you shall find,   Knock and it will be opened unto you".


Freemasonry has a saying: "We Make Good Men Better". This we do through study and discussion of the symbols and emblems of ancient masonry, always striving toward improvement, and discharging accepted responsibilities throughout our communities. Ours is a proud tradition of service to our Higher Power and humanity.


There are three basic requirements:

  • At least 18 years of age and male
  • A belief in a Supreme Diety
  • A desire to improve yourself
