Gray Lodge Dues and Donations

ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP DUES

For your convenience, Gray Lodge #329 can now accept your dues payment securely online via ZELLE (with NO fees) or PayPal*, using your credit card or PayPal account.

Dues Jan. 1 – Dec. 31, 2024:

 

$250.00

 

ZELLE has no fees for payments.  Most banks have Zelle available for making payments.  You may need to contact your bank and see if you can enroll in Zelle payments.  It is easier for the Lodge to collect and get your payment with Zelle than it is with Paypal and you save money on the $9.48 fee from Paypal.

$250.00 + $9.48* = $259.48*

PayPal charges us a service fee of 2.9 percent plus $0.30 per transaction. Grand Lodge of Texas law requires us to pass these charges along to you.

ENDOWED MEMBERS

If you are already an Endowed Member of Gray Lodge, please consider additional support of the Lodge in one of two ways:

1 – Join the Master’s Club

The Master’s Club (currently called the “149 Club” to reflect 149 years of Gray Lodge heritage) provides the Worshipful Master of Gray Lodge with funds to apply for the benefit of the Lodge, as he sees fit. Members receive a custom lapel pin reflecting the Lodge anniversary year supported, and receive special perks from the Master as tokens of his appreciation.

To join the Master’s Club, any Gray Lodge Endowed, Life, or 50-Year Mason needs only donate that year’s dues, in addition to his Endowed or Life status.  Gray Lodge members who pay annual dues can join by donating an amount equal to one year’s dues, in addition to his annual dues payment.

If you’d like to support the Master’s Club, select the “Pay Now” option above as if paying annual dues. On the confirmation page, select the option showing that your payment should be directed to the Master’s Club. The Worshipful Master will recognize your support at an upcoming Stated Meeting.

2 – Increase Your Endowment

A $500 Endowed Membership purchased a few years ago no longer returns enough funds to Gray Lodge to cover our Grand Lodge costs per member. Please consider increasing your Endowed Membership to support Gray Lodge, now and in the future, not only to continue to cover our operating expenses but also to contribute to our scholarship funds and to the relief of needy Brethren.

For your convenience, please use the options to the right to increase your endowment, in $100 increments, up to $500. If you wish to increase your endowment by more than $500, or do not wish to pay the PayPal service fees, please contact our Secretary directly at secretary@gray329.org so that we can offer you a convenient solution with no processing charge.

If you are not an Endowed Member but would like to purchase a perpetual endowment to Gray Lodge #329, please contact our Secretary.

Increase Your Endowment:

When you click the "Add to Cart" Button, you will be taken to the PayPal payment page. Once complete, if successful, you will be redirected to a "Thank You" Page.

*PayPal charges us a service fee of 2.9 percent plus $0.30 per transaction. As a non-profit organization, we must pass these charges along to you.
