Also as in life, being around those young at heart is infectious. We keep spreading the infection and more Masons will become "young" again. In Masonry, as in life, you are as old as you feel.

I've got a couple of posts on my blog on the subject, and a couple of posts on TWTMAG. It ain't young vs old, but young joining old that's needed. Many lodges, I know those that have responded to my notes, are in the situation where mainly younger men, and few of them are showing up for regular activities. The older members are being left out to a large extent. They aren't being told about meetings and special events. When Trestle Boards bounce back, little is done to find out why. When phones aren't answered it's the same. Masons need to reach out to each other in brotherly love. Caring for each other begins the conversation.
