2B1 ASK1

The decision to join the fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons is one that must be made of your own free will and accord. For this reason masons are not permitted to solicit for members. If you are seeking Membership in Freemasonry YOU MUST ASK a Masonic friend to recommend you.

If you do not know a freemason and live in Fresno, California, click here to contact the lodge secretary who will inform you of upcoming activities where you will be able to meet some of the members and find someone to recommend you for membership in our fraternity.
