I was approached about joining but I had other interests and, I did not have any idea of FM. However, the television series’ Inside the Freemasons’ got me interested, especially as it appealed to my interest in history. My life is very much a female dominated one with a wife, daughter, mother, mother-in -law and a sister. Not a bad thing but I thought some male friends would be good. I enjoy the evenings with a great bunch of male friends, especially the LOI. I also enjoy being an officer which I take very seriously. It has been a pleasant surprise to me, that I seem to be able to learn rituals which I enjoy( perhaps I am a secret actor trying to get out!) I think freemasonry is good for character building and confidence. It is non judgmental and, hopefully,will make people more charitable towards others. We need to get over that it is not dominated by older men and that you need to be rich to get in. I hope this is useful.
I discovered many interesting people that are now my friends. You never know who you will meet next. The camaraderie is amazing and so is the feeling of belonging to something so worth while. We share a bond that is worldwide.
