Some educational ideas to add interest to your Lodge Meetings:

- Finish the meeting early and hold Education during the Festive Board rather than during a Regular Meeting.
- Invite a physician to come talk about male health issues.
- Ask Brethren to share the reasons why they became (and remain)  Freemasons.
- Use a theme - for example hold education on one of the "Seven Liberal Art and Sciences" at seven meetings over the course of a year. 
- Debate an issue - pick an appropriate topic and separate the brethren into two teams and hold a formal debate.
- Got one of your own?  Tell us!
