-> Masons are not allowed to "solicit" for membership, and I agree that
-> is some merit for this rule.  Is there any rule that says that Masons
-> be more visible in the community?

None.  In fact the First Eastern District of Illinois Lodges will have a
booth at the Heart Of Illinois Fair this year, as we have for many years
now, passing out literature, etc.  We received dispensation from the
Illinois Grand Lodge to be allowed to wear our aprons during this event.
 Also, each year, we ring bells for the Salvation Army during the
christmas season, and wear our aprons then as well.  There are a number
of events that our District does each year that lets Masonry be visible
at the Blue Lodge level to the public.
