Welcome to the boards.
I'm sure it varies by jurisdiction but if I recall correctly, here in Utah you have to pay the dues that were due the first year you were NPD and then the current year's dues. Good year to get back into things in CO. Isn't it the 150th anniversary of Freemasonry in CO? I seem to recall your GM talking about the celebration at our last Grand Lodge Communication. |

You should contact the lodge Secretary and he will make arrangements for you to pay any dues that may be required and you will be reinstated. Its no big deal really and the lodge will welcome you back and enjoy your company.
You do know that if you fall into hard times again, its acceptable to ask your lodge Secretary for assistance. My lodge pays the dues for around 20 men each year that fall on hard times. Welcome to ARFCOM. |

You may have to pay an extra fee too. Also, you may have to be re interviewed (to check on your situation.) & be balloted upon to re enter? It depends on your states Masonic Laws & lodge's by-Laws. But, do contact your lodges secretary.

I might have missed this point. You'll have to contact the secretary of the Lodge that you were a member of until you were dropped for non-payment of dues. They will take care of all the voting and check cashing.
