Traveling Man Masonic Passport
The Traveling Man Masonic Passport program is open to everyone. One of the joys of being a Mason is the ability to travel, and this program encourages and recognizes those brothers who do so. The passport costs $20, although the program itself does not cost $20 to create and administer. The additional funds raised through the sale of these passports will be used to support the Masonic Medical Research Laboratory and fund their search for a cure for heart disease. The passport is available through the Grand Lodge office.
