The Right Worshipful Grand Master Robert J. Bateman instituted a membership initiative last year to increase our numbers.  If a Lodge increases its membership while maintaining its current membership number, the Lodge will receive $50.00 from Grand Lodge for every new member who has been raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason. Of the 405 lodges in Pennsylvania, 107 received a check in some amount.

Congratulations to Hermann-Humboldt Lodge No. 125 and Doylestown Lodge No. 245 for being recognized by the Grand Lodge for having an increase in membership for 2014 and receiving checks.
