At the June 16th, 2009 Stated Communications Meeting the Brethren of Leesburg Lodge took a bold step towards the financial security of both our Lodge and the Grand Lodge of Florida.
The Brethren voted unanimously to acquire “Memorial Perpetual Memberships” for 64 deceased Past Masters at a cost of $200.00 each. This is an investment in the future of our Lodge as the Grand Lodge of Florida invests these funds and returns a portion on each dollar inputted into the fund to the Lodge. The Grand Lodge of Florida keeps less than 1% of the investment return. The investment return is annually for as long as Leesburg Lodge continues to exist.
For our newer Master Masons, Perpetual Memberships are authorized by the Lodge as approved by the Grand Lodge of Florida. There are several types and the cost varies as to each type. We’ll
brief four below, but what they are, is an investment in the Lodges financial future and that of the Grand Lodge of Florida now and long after we have been received into the welcoming arms of the Grand Architect of the Universe into that Celestial Lodge above. There is a minimum cost per plan, you can add more if you like, and a payment plan is available.A “Perpetual Membership” is for any member in good standing in a particular Lodge. the cost is twenty times the Lodges current annual dues. Your dues are paid for life and will not increase even if he Lodge votes to increase dues in the future.
A “Memorial Perpetual Membership” can be purchased for a deceased Florida Mason at a cost of $200.00.
A “Honorary Perpetual” can be purchased for distinguished and revered living or deceased Masons of this or another Grand Jurisdiction recognized by the Grand Lodge of Florida at a cost of $200.00.
And a “Perpetual Friend Account” for a minimum donation of $200.00 in the name of a single person or entity.
Our Lodge has existed for 141 years and there's no reason to believe it won’t be here for another 141 years and beyond. For Masonry to continue to exist we must learn about our past, labor for today and plan for tomorrow.
