Petition for the Degrees of Freemasonry

Tradition has it that in ancient times, Masons met on the highest hills and in the lowest vales to guard
against the approach of eavesdroppers and to secure the secrets of the Craft. Today Freemasons meet
in well-marked Lodges and Temples. Some of these buildings are owned by the Fraternity, while others
are owned by others outside of the Craft with space for Lodges to meet being rented by the Brothers.

The building where Yelm Lodge #244 now meets is not owned or maintained by Freemasons.
Space for the Lodge room is rented by the Brethren that they may have a place to assemble for their work.

Some may ask: what then is a Lodge?
The ancient charges answer "a lodge is a place where Masons assemble and work."

What is their work?
Whatever tends to benefit mankind, whatever tends to its elevation,
whatever is promotive of human progress in all its phases, is true Mason's work.

We invite all Brother Masons to join us in Lodge on the first Tuesday of the month at 8:00 PM.

Virtus Junxit Mors Non Separabit.
