Welcome to this newly created page. You may or may not have heard the old adage that "To be one, you must ask one." Now we have made it even easier if you are interested in becoming a Mason. All you need to do is e-mail Ben Hur Lodge # 818 at the following link BenHurMembership@comcast.net and we will respond at our earliest convenience.

As the newly appointed Membership Liasion Officer, my objective basically has two equally important thrusts. First, we were able to break a long decline in membership this past year with a net increase through eight new petitions for membership. With a renewed interest in the oldest and largest fraternity in the world, we have set a mandate to meet as many interested men as possible either over lunch during work or for a snack following work. This affords an excellent time to answer any questions that you may have and to become acquainted with a couple of members from our Lodge.

The second thrust is to actively maintain a meaningful and dynamic relationship with our current Brothers and their widows . We are an active lodge with members who have aspired to live according to the three basic tenents of Masonary which are :"Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth."

With these two objectives in mind, we look forward to hearing from you. Please respond either by e-mail BenHurMembership@comcast.net or mail your inquiry to: Ben Hur Lodge #818, 16 So. Milwaukee Ave. Wheeling, IL. 60090
