Yes, yes and WHAT!?
Freemasonry is the single greatest philanthropic organization in the history of the world. Help, aid and assist! Help, aid and assist! How many times have you said those words? Help, aid and assist! At least three times.
You want to get good men to ask more about Freemasonry? Explain the six things we promise. To help, aid and assist our fellow man. And to never cheat, wrong or defraud him. That's it in a nutshell. Help, aid and assist! And, we're damn good at it. Millions upon millions of dollars a day good at it.
People walk for the cure because they want to, in some small way, help someone else. Help? Show them burn victims healed. Show them crippled children walking. Show them peripheral artery disease cured. Show them dyslexic children reading. Show them diabetics walking and seeing. Or tell them some vague, "I can't tell you, but we make good men better.". See which one gets more good men who want to better themselves.
That's the message we need to be spreading. And we suck at it.
