About Masonic Reach
Masonic Reach is a private members app for Freemasons in the 6th Masonic District of South Carolina. It gives brothers, lodge officers, and district officers one place to keep up with lodge and district meetings, events, and notices, and to stay in touch with one another. Access is by invitation only, for members of the district’s eight lodges:
- Acacia No. 315
- Aiken No. 156
- Andrews No. 391
- Belvedere No. 388
- Cedar No. 184
- Hopewell No. 127
- Horse Creek No. 174
- Star No. 99
What the app does
- Lodge and district meeting calendars
- Events, including degree work and other lodge and district gatherings
- Notices from your lodge and the district
- Messaging between members and lodge officers, inside the app
- Optional text-message reminders and notices for members who choose to receive them
Text messaging and consent
Masonic Reach sends a small number of text messages through the Masonic Reach SMS program, only to members who have agreed to receive them. Texts are turned off until a member opts in.
How members opt in
Inside the Masonic Reach app, a member enters their mobile phone number and gives clear consent to receive texts from Masonic Reach for account and lodge notices, for example by agreeing to a statement such as:
“I agree to receive SMS from Masonic Reach for verification and account notices.”
Entering a phone number without agreeing does not sign anyone up for texts. We never use purchased or third-party contact lists.
What texts you may receive
- Reminders for lodge and district meetings, degrees, and events
- Lodge notices and account notices
Texts are sent only by authorized district administrators and officers. We never send marketing, advertising, or fundraising texts. If you use a text-message code to verify your sign-in, that one-time code is sent separately through our verification provider and is not part of the reminder and notice program.
Message frequency varies with lodge and district activity.
Message and data rates may apply. Masonic Reach does not charge for texts.
Reply STOP at any time to opt out. You will get one confirmation text and then no more program texts.
Reply HELP for help, or email masonicreach.admin@gmail.com.
Texts come from +1 (803) 302-3004. You can also turn texts off in the app or by emailing us, and you can opt back in later in the app. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. We do not sell your phone number or share it with anyone for marketing.
