 PERPETUAL MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM Since we're talking about Lodge finances and the budget lately, now
is a good time to remind everyone of the Perpetual Membership Program. This program offers tremendous benefits to both you
and your Lodge. It rids you of the requirement to pay dues annually, it protects you from future dues increases, and it provides
your Lodge with a level of financial protection against future membership declines. Please consider this important program
supporting your Lodge. Who can apply? Any member or Plural Member in good standing and possessing
a current dues card in a Lodge of this Grand Jurisdiction may become a Perpetual Member of his Lodge. Any member or Plural
