Recognized as the oldest fraternity in the world, Free Masons proudly practice the principles on which our country was founded. We are respectful of the opinions of others and our goal is to grow and develop as human beings by helping those who may be less fortunate. Our motto is "friendship, morality and brotherly love," and we honor history, tradition and pride as central concepts in our lives.

As caring and compassionate individuals dedicated to assisting our Brothers and Sisters in need, we focus primarily on community service. We organize blood drives, volunteer at local schools and run a Child ID safety program that reaches 15,000 children each year. We also sponsor training sessions for school districts designed to help them identify children at risk for substance abuse.

Today, there are more than 13,000 Masonic lodges in the U.S. with members representing every segment of society, from presidents, astronauts and athletes, to CEOs, tradesmen and blue collar workers. A number of our country's forefathers, including George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, were Masons, setting the high moral and ethical standards that the organization embraces today.
