We were informed this morning that a Facebook Group formerly calling itself the “Global Fraternal Network” has changed its name to “The Masonic Society”.
The Masonic Society is not associated with the Global Fraternal Network in any way. The name change was made without our approval or any prior request. The owners of the Global Fraternal Network are not members of The Masonic Society.
We have notified Facebook of this clear attempt to hijack the good name of TMS, and have changed the name of our Facebook group to “The Masonic Society – Official Facebook Page”. Here is the link to our group.
The only other Facebook presence with official TMS sanction is the page The Journal of The Masonic Society.
Any other Facebook group purporting to call itself “The Masonic Society” has no permission to do so and should be considered illegitimate and spurious.
The Masonic Society, Inc., was formed and incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation under the laws of the State of Indiana in 2008, and has been recognized as a 501(c)(4) not for profit by the Internal Revenue Service since 2011. It has operated continuously since that time under the name and logos found on this site.
