Meeting notices

**Jason** · 07-05-2010, 02:47 PM

Does your Lodge have meeting notices in the local news paper? Are you in the local Yellow Pages?

No , we are word of mouth . We always have brothers traveling to other lodges and invite all to our stated/called meetings .

We do not advertise in the local papers either. I sorta wish we would do the monthly brunches, to get more people in, maybe make a little extra money off of it.

Now we do advertise for things open to the public , dinners , golf outings or what have you . I just thought you meant Tyled meetings .

Side note : A lodge I regularly visit has this very old lantern that has been with the lodge since it was first U/D . This lantern has a Square & Compasses on either side of it . They hung this lantern above the door with a candle lit in it to let everyone know that they were having/going to have a stated/called meeting .

That is cool. I never heard of anyone doing something like that.

I was referring to mostly tyled meetings, but figured I would toss the other in there.

It is neat . I have been on the hunt for an old metal lantern so I can make my own . They used a punch to make it back then , but I am going to use a drill after I lay out a S & C pattern on it . Hopefully it will work out when I find the lantern .

We don't advertise in the local paper for regular communications, but we do for special events.
From one of the other lodges that consolidated with my present lodge we have a hand-carved wooden light and wooden chain with the letter G on glass on all 4 sides. It hung in the East over the Master's chair. We could use it for the same purpose except hang it in a window to keep it from being destroyed by the weather.
