Plan
Planning tools for your lodge.
Learn is for what each Mason is studying. Plan is for what a lodge is doing together. The two run in parallel: study sharpens the individual; planning keeps the line moving.
A lodge profile here unlocks a small set of tools shaped around the progressive officer line and the lodge's annual rhythm. Anyone with an account can add a lodge or join one already listed; you choose the tool that fits the work you're trying to do, and the app suggests companions as you go.
What the interface offers
The four planning instruments map to the four traveling officers most lodges learn through, plus a year plan that turns those instruments into concrete meetings, plus an oversight surface for the Worshipful Master. Every tool stands alone; every tool produces an artifact the lodge keeps.
-
Year plan + meeting agendas
A calendar of the year's stated, called, practice, and festive meetings. Each meeting has a profile with named sections (opening, communications, reports, education, fellowship, closing), owners learned over time (who brings the food, who reads the minutes), and a print-ready agenda for the Worshipful Master's pedestal.
-
Activity inventory · often driven by the Junior Deacon
One row per thing the lodge does in a year: stated meetings, annual events, committees, outreach, visitation. Each row carries cadence, lead role, supporting roles, materials, and last-year notes. It's the operational truth of the lodge.
-
Purpose map · often driven by the Senior Deacon
Each activity annotated with a one-sentence "why," tagged to Masonic principles (Brotherly Love, Relief, Truth, Education, Charity, Fellowship, Continuity). Activities without a clear purpose surface for line discussion.
-
Member voice + vision · often driven by the Junior Warden
Surveys go out, members answer (anonymous or named, configurable per question), interests are aggregated, and the Junior Warden distills a 3-to-5-year vision grounded in what brothers actually said.
-
Tactical plan · often driven by the Senior Warden
Next year's plan as a quarterly grid: vision points to specific objectives to the activities and people that carry them out. Ratified before installation so the incoming Master inherits a plan, not a wish list.
-
Oversight + intake · Worshipful Master
A cross-cutting dashboard plus an intake queue for items that arrive outside the plan (a brother needs help, a community group asks for a presentation, a sister lodge invites visitation). Triage routes each into the right place.
How it works in practice
Adaptive entry: there's no required order. Anyone with an account can start by drafting a meeting agenda, documenting a single tradition, sketching a vision sentence, or sending a one-question survey. After each save, the app suggests two or three companion tools so the system fills in over time rather than demanding a wizard up front.
Every artifact stays with the lodge, not with the officers who wrote it. When the line rotates at installation, this year's Junior Deacon hands the inventory to next year's Junior Deacon; this year's Senior Warden becomes Master with a ratified tactical plan already in hand.
Self-claim membership is the model today. Anyone with an account can add a lodge or join one. Officer roles are claimed the same way for now; verification tiers (Secretary attestation, cross-attestation, Grand Lodge feed) come in later.
