For the month of June, 2019, The Grand Lodge of Mississippi will issue a total of 35 service certificates and pins: eleven 50 year, eight 60 year, fifteen 65 year, and one 70 year.
Oftentimes we hear the conversation of how we might go about engaging the men of the millennial and younger generations. But what about these tried-and-true men?
It is quite possible that some of these men have remained dues-paying members, but have not attended lodge in some time. Why not? Should your lodge be solely focused on who might be petitioning the lodge, or should it perhaps, first, focus on the men who have remained?
What would you want when you are at that age that you might receive a certificate and pin recognizing you for 50, 60, 65, 70, or more years of service to Freemasonry? Now, Brethren, do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.
Jared Stanley, Grand Secretary
Grand Lodge of Mississippi
