The Live Life Lighter Project

Our Freemasons Health project, Live Life Lighter, is in full swing!

Web site: http://www.livelifelighter.org

We now have the Deliciously Healthy Recipes book in stock and ready to ship.

Here are the facts about this outstanding book:

  • Each book costs $10+GST.
  • Your Lodge sells them for $20. The profit can go to such projects as the Freemason Charity defibrillator project.
  • There are twenty (20) books in one box. It was far too cost prohibitive to allow for 'random quantities'.

HOW TO ORDER:
Simply send an EMAIL to editor@freemasons.co.nz with the following information:

  • QTY: How many boxes you are ordering?
  • Your Lodge NAME and NUMBER - so that we can properly invoice your Lodge.
  • SHIP TO ADDRESS: On the shipping address please make sure you have the correct POST CODE!!!

GOT EVENTS?
Has your Lodge got a health-related event planned? LET US KNOW and we will post it up on the project web site. We have also partnered with Diabetes NZ, The Heart Foundation, The Stroke Foundation, and The Cancer Society on health events. Your Lodge can contact the local or regional offices of these organisations to plan a joint health event...and don't forget to let us know!

Freemasonry on TV3 News

Over the past week TV 3 News has been filming and conducting interviews on Freemasonry. They interviewed the Grand Master and also attended a meeting of Lodge Te Puni where some footage was taken prior to the Lodge opening.

We are advised that they will be screening a report about the declining membership of Freemasonry in their normal Saturday Night News tomorrow. If it is not in the News on Saturday then it will be on Sunday.

Disclaimer:- Those of us who have been involved in this have been very positive about Freemasonry and we hope that this will come through in this News Item however we have no control over the way these interviews are cut or edited, similarly we can not influence the way in which this is reported.
