In part 3 of our tale, Rainman and I continue to delve into the challenges a group of brothers faced when we committed to helping our lodge get back to health and the unexpected speed bumps we came across.
A microburst of bad weather hits Palm Springs and our lodge gets flooded, so we have to stop all activities while we take care of these issues.
Rainman spearheaded this whole project and in the middle of all of this, the Grand Lodge Project manager was switched.
The five of us continued to hold the whole thing up while we trained members to begin to assume some of these responsibilities.
The roof caving in was symbolic of us wanting to make the lodge in our image.
2016 was all about our lodge being investigated, charges of unmasonic conduct being filed, and cleaning house.
In 2017 all five of the MMs that committed to help wore many hats because that’s all we had.
All this hard work caused us to get closer together and
strengthen our bonds of friendship.In 2017 we had to suspend over 30 members for non-payment of dues and Grand Lodge audits us because of this. The next year we suspended about 12 more for the same reason and we got audited again. We get audited over 5 times in two years.
Rainman loses it because of the Trivium discussion group and all the questions the prospects have.
Pick a night for Trivium, pick a night for Hall meetings and everything else.
Rainman wanted to drop “F-BOMBS” and the prospects would not permit this.
Tuesday night is Lodge night!!!
We create a 5-Year Plan
