BE AN ACTIVE MEMBER

Be an active member,

The kind that would be missed;

Don't just be contented

That your name is on `The List'.

Do attend the meetings

And mingle with the crowd;

Don't stay at home

And crab both long and loud.

Do take an active part

To help your Lodge along.

Take time out to visit

With a member who is sick;

Don't leave the work for others,

Then gripe about the clique.

There is quite a program scheduled

That means success, if done;

And it can be accomplished

With the help of everyone.

Be an active member

And take an active part.

Think this over, Member,

Are we right or wrong?

Be an ACTIVE member,

Don't just `belong'.
