If you were to ask me what I get out of being a Mason, I would say that it is a sense of pride that I am actively participating in an organization with a great history and is positively affecting my community, my country and the world.  As Masons, we do a lot for each other and a lot for the betterment of society.  I also enjoy the friendships I have gained through my association with the fraternity, both within our Lodge and within our District.

I would like to ask the Brethren of Pine Castle a few similar questions and I am really interested in hearing from all of you via my email address [click to email] or by regular mail via the Lodge's mailing address and send it to the attention of the Senior Warden.  What I want to know is:

These are questions whose answers, as the Officers of your Lodge, we should constantly be seeking to ensure that all Brothers of the Lodge are having their needs met to a fair extent.  Without knowing this information, we can only assume that we should keep the status quo and, sometimes, what has been the status quo, is not necessarily meeting the needs of the Brothers.

Now is your opportunity to speak and to let us know what you think.  Without your feedback and your input, an incomplete picture of what our Lodge needs to be will be formed, so please be sure to send in your responses. I will collect the responses and review them with W:. M:. Diaz and report out on the findings in the near future.
