Dear Brother «LAST_NAME»,

As a Perpetual Member you will never be billed for Annual Dues. This is a unique opportunity for you to benefit Masonry for perpetuity. Thank you for becoming a part of this worthwhile membership program.

Over the years, the Lodge receives donations from many of our members, who are able to do so. In order to facilitate and make it easy for anyone to share a little extra with the Lodge, I have enclosed a return envelope with your 2011 Dues Card. Grand Lodge does print a donation stub for all members. Yours indicates that $0.00 is due for dues. There is a space to indicate that in order for our Lodge to reach a goal of 100% participation in the voluntary support of our Masonic home, that a donation of $7.30 would be very helpful.

If you are able and interested in making this additional sacrifice, a donation to the Masonic Home and to our Lodge would be very much appreciated. With everyone’s situation being affected differently with the economy, this is not possible by all our members and all considerations are most welcome.

Besides returning checks for donations in the enclosed envelope, the Lodge is now setup on PayPal. Donations, dues payment (for those who are not Perpetual Members), and fundraising donations can now be paid on the internet. If you would like to make a donation via PayPal on the internet, follow these steps:

Send an Email to:

State the amount you would like to donate

Next, you will receive an invoice from PayPal, which is initiated by the Lodge Secretary

Open the invoice from PayPal, then click on ‘Pay Invoice’ and follow the instructions

Fill in the requested invoice information and complete the transaction by hitting send.

Please note, that your financial information will not be available to the Lodge.

Your payment will be deposited directly into the Lodge checking account

The Secretary will receive a confirmation from PayPal

Any help you can provide to the Lodge will be most welcome. If I can be of any assistance to you, or if you have any questions, please let me know. I hope this finds all well with you.

Sincerely and fraternally,

Roger McKay, Secretary
