Excellent! Mine is a countryish Lodge, I am seeking ways to get more of the dues payers back into Lodge and active again.We are closing in on 160 members , had a few deaths last year but we have several petitions out for waivers of jurisdiction that should put us over , it is the most my lodge has ever had . So yes , my lodge is growing . As for Active members at stated meetings , I will have to take a look at the Tyler's registry when I am out to lodge next and get back with you . We normally have large crowds though and I know it is more than 20 active members .
I have been doing even more traveling lately and I have noticed a trend . The City lodges are struggling , with very few active members and they are having trouble filling officers chairs . But the country lodges are thriving .
We did an EA last Monday and couldn't do the slide lecture because the one Brother we had signed up to do the lecture was a no-show.
My Lodge's active Brothers are doubling & tripling up on parts.
