Greetings, Brother!

Please find attached your Lodge’s October notice, as well as the annual letter regarding 2025 dues, which must be paid by December 31, 2024.

In addition to receiving these two items by e-mail, you will receive this in the mail for two reasons:

The dues letter also is accompanied by a self-addressed envelope for you to use to return your check and the tear-off portion of the dues notice letter. This is important as we have many members – especially those living out of state – for which we have no phone number or email address.
As Secretary, I have discovered that some members have moved and have not yet updated the Lodge with their new mailing address, and by mailing all members at least twice a year – in October with the dues notice and in February with the Banquet invitation – we are improving our mailing lists.

Any member who has reached 50 years of membership, or will achieve that mark of distinction in 2025, will automatically receive their 2025 dues card in November, as Grand Lodge remits 50-year member dues.

For all other members, the 2025 dues is $125.00. Once you receive your mailing, you can send your payment and updated contact information in the enclosed self-addressed envelope as soon as possible to avoid future reminders and possible suspension. Please make checks payable to “Robert Burns Lodge No. 464”.

Also, if you wish you may include a $5.00 donation to fund the Robert Burns Almoners Fund to assist distressed Brethren and families. Please include this amount in your check.

There is also an option to pay online using a credit card. In order to do this, you will have to open and access your account (it already exists as part of the Grand Lodge database). Go to https://pagrandlodge.org/member-and-officer-login/, select the icon ‘Member and Officer Logon’, and follow the instructions to set up your password, if you have not already created a log-in. You will need your member number, which can be found on the cover of your Pennsylvania Freemason. Once you access your account there are directions to pay your dues, update any pertinent information, as well as paths to numerous programs and resources.

Lastly, if for any reason you are unable to pay this amount, please contact me immediately. Provisions exist for those who are temporarily unable to pay their dues by virtue of a temporary financial or health related hardship. The remittance of lodge dues must be by request of the member (made to the Secretary anonymously), acted upon by the Lodge, and must be considered on a yearly basis.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 717-317-2696 or by simply hitting “reply” and sending me an email.

Sincerely and Fraternally,
Gerald D. Feaser Jr., P.M.
Secretary
