Quote History Quoted:
It has always intrigued me and I think I am ready but am not quite sure how to proceed. My great grandfather was a Mason in Cuba and possibly in Miami. I live in Fairfax, VA. There are Masons at work but I'm not comfortable approaching them to ask questions. Suggestions are welcome.

There are several Lodges in Fairfax. I belong to Concord #307 in Vienna where I am the current Junior Deacon, and I just love it.
I'll echo some of the other sentiments stated here that Masons everywhere would be more than happy to speak with you on the subject. I think there's a connection between being Mason, and loving to talk. At least it sure seems that way. It might just be me.
Masons don't recruit because that would defeat our main goal of personal growth and that fact alone should refute all the "Masons want to take over the world" nonsense.
Our goal is not to be the biggest or most powerful organization in the world, but to help make good men better. Since forcing someone to do something they don't necessarily want to do is a fool's errand, we wait for men to decide they want to join. That means they'll certainly be more open to the idea of personal improvement, which
is the goal of Masons and Freemasonry.
As the child of two psychologists, I often compare what we do to one of my Mom's favorite jokes. How many psychologists does it take to change a light bulb? One; but the light bulb has to
want to change.
We can help you be a better man, but you have to
want it, first.
PM me if you have more questions, or want to meet and discuss.
