It seems Masonry in South Carolina is really big! Over the past 3 months I've been to 3 different lodges to watch Entered Apprentice work being done. The average turn out has been around 50.
Last night I had the honor to attend a older lodge downtown it actually looked like one you would see overseas in England. The moldings to the seating everything was beautiful and immaculate. The turn out was 70 people from 6 different area lodges some from far away as Massachusetts. We had barely enough room to the point I was asked to kindly try and push as far North East as possible. This was impressive. I've read where some were saying masonry was older gentlemen and how lodges were dying out.
Well, not in SC the average age of the lodge seems to be in 30-40 range. It is truly a wonderful site to see young and old brethren carrying out our legacy of our brothers whom have gone this way of masonry before us. I look forward to my fellowcraft and becoming more involved. On the other hand I was told I should look my second to be voted on in a week.
