My Brothers,

I have been approached, because I am an appraiser of houses, (someone who determines the value of the property for the banks) by several of our Brothers in Southern California asking if there is some Masonic relief to help them from loosing their homes back to the bank. I cannot think of a more “dire” situation to be in and am looking for some way to assist them. Do we have some sort of relief, we can as a group can offer, and more importantly, if not, why not? Our four-brothers were the original bankers and stewards of the monies for everyone. Why don't we have a Masonic Templar bank for Brothers to draw upon in times like these? Where is the charity for these families in their hour of need?

I ask these questions not for an answer directly but to stir your imagination for the future. We should have a Credit Union type bank that is designed to give good council, admonish us when we error and put us on the financial track to be better stewards of our resources. If we learn this lesson in life, we will be better providers for our community and lodges as well.

Thank you,

Johnè Johnson
