👞🔨 WHAT'S ON YOUR FEET MATTERS TOO 🔨👞

Most of us spend our days in work boots.

But when it's time for Lodge, an installation, banquet, district event, or formal gathering, your footwear is part of the overall presentation.

You don't need a closet full of expensive shoes.

A good pair of black Oxfords and a quality pair of brown dress shoes will cover almost every Masonic occasion you'll encounter.

Remember, dressing well isn't about showing off.

It's about showing respect.

Respect for the Lodge.
Respect for the occasion.
Respect for yourself.

One important note:

The **"Casual & Summer"** category is generally intended for social events, BBQs, family gatherings, picnics, brewery nights, and other informal fellowship activities. In most jurisdictions, these styles would rarely be appropriate for regular Lodge meetings or formal Masonic functions.

As with everything in Masonry, know the occasion and dress accordingly.

Work hard in your boots.

Represent the Craft well in your dress shoes.

Nail it on both fronts.

In 1981, a 9-year-old girl named Mai arrived in San Jose, California with her mother and two younger brothers. They had fled Vietnam by boat. They had nothing.

Mai learned English in one year. She was obsessed with math. Her teacher in 6th grade wrote in her file: "This student will do something extraordinary."

She studied aerospace engineering at UCLA. Applied to NASA in 1995. Was accepted.

For 28 years, Mai Nguyen worked on propulsion systems for NASA at Kennedy Space Center.

In 2023, she retired as a Senior Systems Engineer.

She has been a part of 11 missions.

Her mother, now 84, still doesn't fully understand what NASA does.

"You make the rockets go up?" she asks.

"Yes, Mama," Mai says. "I make the rockets go up." 🚀🇺🇸
