A LITTLE, EVERY DAY
Candidate to Craftsman
The world competes for our attention, and usually wins. A daily reading keeps the lessons of the Craft in front of us.
LODGERENEWAL
YOU’VE SEEN THIS LODGE.
Square Thoughts
You’ve sat through the meetings. Watched the same few men do the work. Wondered why good brothers stopped coming. I wrote those things down, then asked what we can do about them. A field guide to making your lodge worth showing up for.

A NOTE FROM ROB
This comes from
doing the work.
I’m a Past Master and lodge secretary in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Much of this grew out of years in and out of uniform, coaching, teaching and training thousands of leaders and adults.
If something here doesn’t make sense, tell me. I care about the Craft, and I want the work to be useful. Ask your questions. Send me a note.
Write to Rob Invite me to your lodge →Lodge visits
Have me out to your lodge.
I'd rather talk with your brothers than sell them a PDF. If your lodge wants a hand with something, ask.
- An education night. I'll come and talk about mentoring, listening to your brothers, or what keeps men coming back. In person across the Upper Peninsula and northern Michigan, or by Zoom anywhere.
- A working session with your officers. We take one guide, the survey or the dues workbook say, and actually do it together in an evening, so you leave with a plan instead of a reading assignment.
- A district or Grand Lodge event. A talk or a workshop, built for the room.

Questions about a guide, book or order? Write to me below. For a lodge visit, include the place, date and what you have in mind.
What it costs
There's no fee for a lodge I can drive to. Farther than that, cover the travel and we'll work it out. By Zoom there's nothing to cover.
What to tell me
Your lodge, where you are, roughly when, and what you're hoping the brothers walk away with.

SQUARE THOUGHTS ON SUBSTACK
The ride home isn’t quiet.
There’s usually something from the meeting still on my mind.
