This software was developed in the fall of 2005 to help meet the record keeping needs of Allen Lodge No. 1435.  The intent is to make it available, free of charge (as long as possible) to Texas Lodges.   (Our website is www.allenlodge1435.org or allen1435@tx.rr.com)  Our address is:

 

Allen Lodge No. 1435 A. F. & A. M.

107 ½ West Main Street

Allen, Texas 75013

 

This software is in no way intended to replace the paper records you should be maintaining for each member.  It is intended to aid you in finding information about your Lodge Brothers quickly and easily.

 

Note:  If you have previously installed Lodge Record Keeping Software using the installation CD, you may download the latest release by clicking on the link shown below.  Just downloading the software and trying to run it WILL NOT WORK.  To upgrade to the most recent software release, only the Lodge.exe file needs to be replaced.  The software is designed NOT to overlay your current database.

A big THANKS to Brother Jimmy Emmons for helping find printing bugs.  They have been fixed as noted below.  Also a new feature to create "Comma Delimited" files for your dues notice mailings has been added.  This will help you create Labels and "Personalized" dues notices using your mail/merge and label software.

If you share your database with other members of your Lodge by emailing them the backup file,  you should be careful to see that they are using the same release of the software as you are.

Grand Lodge added a Brother's Deceased Date to the CSV Download File and as a result I had to change the software - the current Release is now 4.2.3. and the Deceased Date is now populated if the Deceased Date is filled and if we are adding the Brother to the Database.

The starting User Name is "admin" and Password is "password" all lower case.  You can and should change them using the Maintain LODGE INFORMATION Function.

Documentation is included on the Installation CD.

When downloading use "Save" and navigate to your C:\LodgeRecords Directory.
