You may ask yourself, “Why have I not been asked to join?” That is because unlike the members of other fraternal organizations, Masons typically do not solicit anyone to become a member, thus the title of this page “To Be One, Ask One.”

Many men live a lifetime and never know that they need only ask for admission to the world’s oldest, most purposeful and greatest fraternity. Freemasonry, the worlds oldest and most respected Fraternity, encourages good men to become better men by promoting a life devoted to high ideals, community service and benevolence.

Each has a personal belief in a Supreme Being and a determination to conduct himself in a manner that will earn the respect and trust of others.
