I never knew there was a way to have a washer and dryer in an apartment without a washer/dryer hook-up. Then in February 2008, I discovered portable washer/dryer combos and started doing research to find out which is the best.
There are two costs associated with Masonry. The first cost is dues; all members of the Lodge pay annual dues of $85.00. Dues cover the annual operating expenses of the Lodge. The second cost is Degrees; in the progress from Entered Apprentice to Master Mason one will pay $300.00 total for all three degrees ($100.00 for each Degree).
I spend close to $800 a year on Masonic organization dues to belong to a raft of appendant groups. By comparison, the average Mason in 1900, when the numbers are adjusted for inflation, spent close to $3,000 a year in dues, regalia, conventions, etc.
