Westminsterian Lodge: A Beacon of Revival
Westminsterian Lodge No 3344 is celebrating a remarkable turnaround after facing the brink of closure just a few months ago. Through sheer determination, teamwork, and guidance from senior members, the Lodge has not only stayed afloat but is flourishing once again.
Thanks to invaluable support from the Grand Lodge, which extended resources for unsponsored candidates, the Lodge has been able to initiate new members. With four fresh candidates already initiated, another new member recently joined – cementing Westminsterian’s revival. Looking ahead, the Lodge is preparing to welcome two to three candidates early next year, further fueling its growth.
The key to this success has been a focused 5-year plan, crafted by Lodge members in close collaboration with senior members, Officers, and Inspectors. Their collective strategic advice has been proven, ensuring that the lodge not only stabilizes but thrives for years to come. It would be beneficial for any struggling Lodges to seek similar advice and guidance for a pragmatic approach to finding new candidates.
The plan has been based on the Membership Pathway which was designed to attract, engage and retain new members and retrieve dormant members. The Pathway gives Lodges plenty of advice while also giving them the freedom to educate prospective members on the strengths and positive appeal of individual Lodges.
Westminsterian Lodge stands as a testament to the power of perseverance, proving that even when times seem tough, hope and hard work can turn the tide. The future looks brighter than ever – and guests are warmly invited to visit at their next merry meeting.
