If you have someone who is interested in the Masonic Home, your first call should be to the home itself. They can help guide interested parties through the application process. Your ambassador to the home should be familiar with the contacts at Franklin to help with this process.
Equally as important to admitting someone to the home is visiting residents from your lodge. You have an unwritten obligation to help take care of them. Visits, cards, small gifts, etc., are all appropriate, especially for those on the healthcare side. Be sure not to forget about them.
Secondly, you can always plan a trip to the home through the office. Our Brothers and Sisters always enjoy visits from any lodge. This is your Masonic Home so be proud of it and learn how it operates and cares for our Brothers and Sisters.
