MW Thompson has one word for lodges that want to
survive hard times: Willpower.

“That’s what it takes. Be willing to do the work. Be
prepared for change. Make your lodge look great and
inviting, especially from the outside. Spaghetti suppers
are great – but they just don’t work anymore. People
today, especially younger men, want an experience, not
just something to do. They want to invest their time
instead of just spending it,” he said.
