Davo's Resources

Here are some Georgia Masonic resources that Davo has put together and/or found useful.

Map of Districts

Since the Map of Districts (which I've found very useful over the years) has mysteriously disappeared from the Grand Lodge website, here's a link to a small cached version I found: http://morelight.org/mased/ga_dist_map.png

Good news, everyone! I have located this map again, in pdf format: https://glofga.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Georgia-Masonic-Districs-v2.pdf

I have it archived at http://morelight.org/5pix/GLofGA_Districs.pdf and http://morelight.org/5pix/GLofGA_Districs.png

Candidate Care Checklist

A tool to help mentor the candidates' advancement and development.

A tool to help the Director of Work plan the various roles during degrees.

New Mason Development

I personally recommend the following schedule for new Masons in their first year after being raised - before taking an office or joining an appendant body!

Work & Lectures

From February, 2007 to January 2010, I produced a pdf newsletter, for the Metro Atlanta area (originally targeted for members of the DeKalb County Masonic Association), called Work & Lectures. By July of 2007, each issue had an overall theme.

While the "news" aspects have long expired, these issues can still be a good source of information for lodge education programs and personal education. Hopefully these still hold some educational and/or historic value. :)
