On this episode I am reading from the lawbook on 3 of the regulations pertaining to the Membership Endowment Fund.  It is a bit longer than I want these to be but this is something that affects us all as Texas Masons.  So I felt it necessary to cover.  This is a subject that I highly recommend you read over for yourself on the law book.  Art.163b-01:07, Art. 163e-02:39 and Art 318a-05:18
