The Civility Mosaic--How Anyone Can Use the Principles of Freemasonry to Repair Our World
By Russ Charvonia, PGM of California, and Michael Ashley
Civility, as we see it, isn’t simply about playing nice. It’s about giving people the resources to have rational and productive discussions about hard subjects. It’s also about finding ways to work more productively with all of our brothers and sisters for the greater good of society.
In these dark and turbulent times of discord, The Civility Mosaic urges us not to abdicate our human duty. It’s our hope that it encourages every reader to be the proverbial stone dropped into the placid waters of complacency, allowing our actions to be ripples of change, spreading to far shores.
To mark my 50th year as a brother of Fairport-Flower City #476 under the GLoNY, I ordered two custom embroidered polo shirts from "Made for Freemasons," a company run by and for Masons. The 100% cotton shirts are richly embroidered, one in silver and one in gold. They even added an additional line in recognition of my 50 year milestone. "50 Years of Brotherhood."
I know a local Brother who makes little kits of Corn, Wine, and Oil to give Fellowcrafts at the end of their Degree. He also made a box labeled "Lodge Archives" in reference to the Rite of Destitution.
Thank you, Cameron, for the shout-out and the opportunity to inform people about us. My wife and I own Ink Nutz, and we have been in business for almost 15 years. We create many items for fraternity and concordant bodies. Our motto is "If you can think it, we can ink it," and we strive to uphold that promise. Our product line includes brand-name apparel, drinkware, awards, gifts, and laser-engraved items such as custom name badges (both metal and acrylic), glassware, and serving trays. The list is almost endless. We also provide these services for businesses and individuals.
For the last two years, we have offered personalized Master Mason coins with the individual's name, initiation, passing, and raising dates, and lodge. These coins are $10 for any Master Mason but absolutely free for any newly raised Master Mason if ordered prior to their raising or within one month of being raised. That's right, FREE, including shipping.
If you have an idea or question about a project, call us at 425-327-0200 and visit our website at www.inknutz.com. Click on the Masonic Store link about halfway down the home page. Also, near the end of the home page are links to multiple catalogs of items we can provide and decorate for gifts or personal use with no minimums.
Thanks! We're going to try here to get the word out!

Thank you MW Brother. It is an important book, and it is good that we get it out to Masons!
Just bought it on Audible.
Much appreciated. Let me know what you think of it.
I love Cameron how you pull your community together. ✨💖
Thank you Charlotte. I appreciate your kindness, always.

This is great, thank you Brother! I don't think that I had heard of Made For Freemasons before, so I'm glad we can spread the word about them.
So I hear that there’s this barbershop in downtown Centralia, Washington, that is rumored to be a front for an underground Masonic Lodge… 💈
That would be Two Guys Barber I believe, corner of Tower and Main, right behind Nyholms Appliances.
Proud of my new book, "Masonic Research Lodges, Bodies, and Societies" ... https://amorphous.press/cyphrGlyffe/masonic-research-lodges-bodies-and-societies/
Thanks for putting the link into it Brother!

Those sound like wonderful gifts! If he's interested in a bit of free advertising, please direct him to this post.
