Meaningful Lodge Experience | A Conversation with Bro. Manny Lozada

Meaningful Lodge Experience | A Conversation with Bro. Manny Lozada

Author: Juan Sepulveda July 15, 2019 Duration: 35:24
How does a Meaningful Lodge Experience look like? When you first set foot into a stated meeting as a Master Mason, was the experience everything you expected it to be? Do you think that your Lodge's meetings have room for improvement?

On this episode of The Winding Stairs, I sit down with Bro. Manny Lozada of Orange Blossom Lodge No. 80 in Sunny Kissimmee, Florida. We had a conversation about how we can make our Lodge meetings more memorable and meaningful. 

Listen as we share some small and easy to implement improvements that can have a big impact long term. 

We hope you find this episode edifying.
