Lodges do charitable work and perform civic services that promote Masonic involvement and exposure. There are outstanding programs to interest women and youth, and oftentimes the entire family can participate together in an activity or group.

It is up to each and every Brother to brighten the lights in the lodges by furnishing help, aide, compassion, and incentive. These efforts will illuminate the heart of every lodge so that it shines brighter for each member.

Now, with renewed enthusiasm for your lodge and Brothers, new and old, check out the tabs and programs available through this site. Your will find outstanding programs and information at the tabs for SD Child Identification, Masonic Model Student Assistance Training, and potential scholarships. If you have any questions or suggestions, call the Grand Lodge Office at 605-332-2051 or email at glodgeofsd@ll.net for answers or information.

Hope to see your Masonic light shining brightly this year.
