How Do I Join?

---

It's as easy as coming to dinner to join us for Fellowship and Dinner on a meeting night.

Click the KNOCK button and fill out the form to let us know your coming.

 When you join us for dinner, you’ll be warmly welcomed by the Brethren and like-minded gentlemen. You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal, should you choose, while engaging in great conversation. This gathering provides a wonderful chance for the Brethren to get to know you, learn about your interests, and answer any questions you may have about Freemasonry—just as you discover more about us. 

Today, Freemasonry is defined as "an organized society of men symbolically applying the principles  of operative Masonry and architecture to the science and art of character building". This means  applying Masonic principles will make you a better person.

We at Bentonville F & AM Lodge #56 will tell you in short, "It is a fraternity of brothers that live by the principles of Freemasonry. Friendship, Morality, and Brotherly Love."

The link below has a great communication from our Grand Lodge on the topic.
