 <description>&lt;h2&gt;A Solid Foundation for Masonry&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Welcome to the Committee on Lodges and Buildings!&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our Committee&amp;#8217;s mission is to help Masonic Lodges keep their foundations strong, and keep an eye toward the future. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We work with Lodges and building owners to maximize their resources for performing various Masonic and ownership duties. Our committee&amp;#8217;s services include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lodge Trustee certification &lt;a href=&quot;/cms/docs/BenevolentOrderTrusteesForm.pdf&quot;&gt;[&amp;nbsp;download&amp;nbsp;form&amp;nbsp;]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Real estate evaluations &lt;a href=&quot;/cms/docs/FacilitiesEvaluation.pdf&quot;&gt;[&amp;nbsp;download&amp;nbsp;worksheet&amp;nbsp;]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Insurance reviews &lt;a href=&quot;/cms/docs/InsuranceInfo.pdf&quot;&gt;[&amp;nbsp;download&amp;nbsp;more&amp;nbsp;information&amp;nbsp;]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reaching out to various utility companies to find the best prices &lt;a href=&quot;/cms/docs/UtilityRFP.pdf&quot;&gt;[&amp;nbsp;rfp&amp;nbsp;request&amp;nbsp;]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Seeking real estate tax reduction&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cash flow projections &lt;a href=&quot;/cms/docs/CashFlowInstructions.pdf&quot;&gt;[&amp;nbsp;instructions&amp;nbsp;]&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;/cms/docs/CashFlowWorksheet.pdf&quot;&gt;[&amp;nbsp;worksheet&amp;nbsp;]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Compiling membership actuarial projections to assist in long range planning&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Translating the Benevolent Orders Law and determining how it affects Masonic Lodges &lt;a href=&quot;/cms/docs/BenevolentOrderLawExplained.pdf&quot;&gt;[&amp;nbsp;more&amp;nbsp;information&amp;nbsp;]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The one thing we don&amp;#8217;t do is recommend consolidating Lodges or reducing the number of buildings owned by Lodges.&lt;/p&gt;
