Nippon Lodge 9

ATTENTION BRETHREN: Nippon Lodge No 9 members have had the option in the past to request a Lifetime Membership. The Pillars of the Lodge along with the Secretary and Treasurer have done extensive research into the possibility of reviving the Liftefime Membership program. This has been found to be unfeasible at this time or at anytime in the near future. Due to the pressures of the economic times and the changes in the way in which the Grand Lodge of Japan and the Masonic Foundation of Japan are and will be conducting business we find that if this program were to be reinstituted it would place an undue burden on the day-to-day operations of Nippon Lodge No 9. Our numerous charitable projects would be in jeopardy and we simply can not let that come to fruition, Charity being one of Masonry's prime tenets. Your Lodge will only thrive with the receipt of yearly dues which of course are greatly appreciated.

Sincerely & Fraternally, 

Treasurer: Nippon Lodge No 9
