"Freemasonry takes good men and makes them better."

Masons come from all walks of life and professions. There are Masonic Lodges in almost every country on earth, and virtually every religion and ethnic group have members who are Freemasons. Canadian Prime Ministers, American Presidents, World Royalty, scientists, writers, philosophers, giants of industry, athletes and musicians have all been Freemasons. Famous Masons' of the last 300 years reads like a who's-who of history.  

What draws men to Freemasonry?

To associate with other men who believe that by becoming more useful to our fellow man, we will improve the World in general. Freemasonry is not a charity, benevolent association, rotary club, or business club, worthy as these organizations are.

Freemasonry is not a religion; it is a beautiful system of morality that each brother is obligated to follow.

The oldest verified masonic document is called "The Regius Manuscript", dated in 1390 and located in the British Museum. It is a long poem in middle English, hand lettered in beautiful gothic writing, and consists of elaborate rules of conduct and a strict moral code. This moral code governed the lives and actions of the Masons' engaged in the building of the noble Cathedrals and Abbeys, then being constructed through out Great Britain. The document is now 615 years old but it is obvious from it's wording that the organization of which it speaks hadn't just sprung into being. One reference in it speaks of the Saxon King Athelston who reigned from 925 AD until 940 AD and who is said to have, "Loved this craft full well."

Whatever masonry is, a man must seek it for himself. No one will ever ask you to become a mason. The requirements to be a Freemason do NOT require you to compromise in anyway, shape, or form, your individual religious or moral beliefs. Indeed, you likely have many of the traits that we as Freemasons' value: Charity, Relief, Honour, Truth, and Respect are only a few. Freemasonry is open to men of all creeds, color, and religions, who are strong in character and who possess sound morals.

The commitment of time should be considered; as most lodges meet once or twice a month - depending on the lodge, and have an active social calendar.
