Hi,

   I recently moved from Southern California to Louisiana.  The Lodge that I
 was raised in had a live-in caretaker.  In addition to the caretaker being
 generally available to take telephone calls at the lodge, the secretary was
 also listed in the telephone directory.  It never occurred to me that I might
 have a problem contacting the local lodge wherever I traveled.

   When I moved to Louisiana, I spent a couple of months locating a lodge in
 my area.  Of the 7 lodges I have since located in the general area, only 3 are
 listed in the telephone directory.  Those telephones are only answered when
 someone is in the lodge, i.e., stated meetings.  The telephone directory
 listings includes the address of these lodges.  Where IS the Masonic Lodge
 Temple Bldg?  I didn't know and neither did anyone I asked.

I finally found a lodge.  From there I got directions to each of the other
 lodges in my area and have visited each at least once. I'm glad I took the
 trouble.  :<)

If a brother is traveling through your area and finds himself in distress or
 simply wants information concerning the Masonic community, can he find your
 lodge?  Could his widow?

I am offering my home telephone to be listed with the lodge when the new
 telephone directories come out.
