The Lodge only exists if you attend regularly
So I apologize in advance for venting but I gotta get this out. I joined my lodge four years ago and was very involved and made lots a friends etc. About a year ago I had to go second shift at work and that made it impossible to make the meetings but I could occasionally attend the weekend events and GL stuff. But recently all communications have dried up- no emails, phone calls, heck even texts have stopped. Nothing. Crickets. I just found out the lodge held a huge 200 year rededication gala A MONTH AGO. No invite. No email. No call. Nothing from the so called brothers. Guys demit for lots of reasons but one big one for sure is because they feel left out. I feel left out. Out of sight, out of mind.
The regular emails and communiques kept me connected. Now I don’t feel connected to anything except memories and old books on my shelf that preach about morality, friendship and brotherly love. Which only seems to exist for the guys who make regular attendance.
