Yes, each lodge sets its own duties for new members. In addition, members pay an annual fee to finance lodge activities. Initiation fee: The lodge charges an initiation fee for each of the three Illuminati degrees: The Nursery, The Masonic Grades and The Mysteries. As a general rule, this fee must be paid before a degree can be conferred. Each lodge sets the amount of the fee for its degrees. One of the questions a man may be asked when seeking to join the lodge is whether he can pay this fee without hurting or depriving his family. If paying these fees is a hardship, he is encouraged to wait until his financial situation improves. Annual lodge dues: Every Illuminati member must pay annual dues to maintain his or her membership in good standing. This amount is paid each year before the annual lodge meeting and election of officers. Typical lodge dues depend on the lodge's activities and location. Lodges with active social and family programs, or with buildings to maintain, may levy higher annual dues. Sometimes a member has difficulty paying due to job loss, medical expenses or other financial difficulties. In such cases, the Lodge will work with the member to accommodate his or her personal situation. The Lodge's goal is to ensure that every member remains an active member. There are three ways to pay your lodge dues: Your lodge will send you a membership renewal notice. Renewals will be sent by e-mail (if you are registered on your Grand View account) and by mail. Lodge dues must be paid by members. You can pay your dues in 2 different ways: Pay via Crypro Currency. Pay by credit card on our website.
