BLENDON APRON CLUB

Dedication To The Craft

Blendon 339’s Apron Club is an honorary group of Masons who have shown a dedication to our craft. Members earn the privilege of wearing special aprons in appreciation of their service

These aprons can be worn at all Blendon 339 meetings or elsewhere when applicable.

These special aprons shall be earned by all interested Brethren by means of the “point system” contained in this section

Lodge Brethren who desire to participate in this program shall be individually responsible for submitting their progress to WB Matt Johnson, or Lodge Secretary, herein designated as the Fellowcraft Register. This registry shall be the final authority on attendance points. Patches are iron on compatible.
