Ask this question of any Mason, and you will get a different answer each time. I am in charge of the Friendship night at my lodge this year, and, really reflecting on what does Masonry means to me and how to convey this to others. Masonry originally meant to me a family bond. My father is a Mason, as well as Uncles, a Great Uncle and other family members. All are men of great integrity and men of God. Qualities that are not common according to today's society, but qualities I wanted to posses. I took a quick an easy way into Masonry, call the Grand Master's One day class, and in one day my life was forever changed. Masonry has grown into so much more for me the years since that day.
