Please support the District 3  Masonic Widows’ Fund.  Many Master Masons find the Masonic Widows Fund  to be a convenient way to help our departed Brothers' widows financially in their hour of need. The Masonic Widow's Fund Application/ Brochure in PDF file format is now available on Dropbox at the link below.  Please encourage all District 3 brothers to join the Masonic Widows’ Fund; it is a very simple and effective way to provide a little help for each new widow.  You can download and print out copies to keep at the Secretary’s desk and to distribute to your lodge brothers or District Visitors.  Please support the fund in all ways possible and contact your Lodge Trustee or Worshipful Master for questions or additional details.  Worshipful Masters: Please make sure your lodge has two trustees, who have ability to attend the quarterly meetings, and that your members know who your lodge trustees are.  Masonic Widow's Fund Application & Info at the link below:

If you are looking for a Petition or Supplemental Forms, there are many forms (pdf files) that can be downloaded from the Grand Lodge of Florida website.  It always seems to take me a while to find that page, and perhaps the following link will help:
