4) PayPal is up!!!! If you need to pay your dues please go to our website to do so via PayPal. You have options via the page for Membership. If you haven't paid for 2012 dues, you will be suspended effective April 30, 2012 unless you contact the lodge in writing either by contacting me, or via mail (KANEOHE BAY LODGE #2, PO BOX 1240, KANEOHE, HI 96744), or via email @ kaneohebaylodge2@yahoo.com. I cannot anyone carry past that date because there is no guarantee of payment; our tax bill is too high so we need to lessen that burden, especially for those who have not paid in quite some time. If you do not pay your dues by Dec 31, 2012, you will be dropped from the rolls immediately. We will email and mail you a letter of your suspended status. Fee for reinstatement is still $220 until Grand Lodge Session, and then the fee will rise to $250 per our bylaws that we voted on 9 April 2012.

"Learn something every day, and think often on what you have learned; by this you willl gradually form your mind ot embrace truth, from whatever quarter it may come."
-Willam Frend
As the significance of the working tools of an Entered Apprentice are explained to a newly initiated Brother, it is stated that, while we take much of our symbolism and myth from the medieval craftsmen whose name we carry, we are not , of course, directly concerned with using the tools in their literal sense. At this point in the ritual we refer to ourselves as speculative Masons and this passing comment is of great significance. We are enjoined, elsewhere, to 'make a daily advancement in Masonic knowledge' and so it is clear that study and contemplation are vital parts of a Mason's 'work.' If we are to speculate, on what should we speculate? The ritual helps us there, too. All of human life; the mysteries of Nature and Science; the liberal Arts and Sciences; even death itself is worthy of our contemplation. Our duty is to try to make sense of the world and our place in it. By constant study and mental effort we will, indeed, finally come to understand and embrace Truth.
