FAQ


(0) Can I just donate?

Yes!  You don’t have to have a website to promote to donate to this worthy cause!  You will still be recognized on this site and weblog.  

1. What is the idea?

The idea is simple.  Try to raise money for my son's youth group, Troy DeMolay, so the chapter can attend State Conclave this year.  State Conclave costs about $120 per member and we hope to be sending as many as 20 members this year.  We have tried various fund raising ideas but I decided to give Pixel-Advertising a try.  My thinking is that there are so many Freemasons on the Internet that would enjoy being able to donate to a worthy cause and get a little bit of site recognition along the way.

2. Who are you?

My name is John W. Ratcliff.  I am a Master Mason living in Missouri.  I am a member of Wentzville Lodge #46 and Naphtali Lodge #25.  I am a Noble of the Moolah Shrine in Saint Louis.  Finally, I am the Chapter Dad for Troy DeMolay.  

Outside of Masonry I have been a semi-famous software developer for many years and have worked on a number of computer game projects.  I am active on the Internet and I believe this site will be a unique way for me to engage the rest of the online Masonic community.

3. What will you do with the money?

The money raised will be used to send Troy DeMolay chapter to State Conclave.  If we end up raising more money than we need for that purpose we will distribute the funds to other Masonic Youth groups in our area.

Every single penny raised and spent will be accounted for on the accompanying weblog.

4. Can anyone buy advertising on this site?.

No.  While we would be happy to accept your donation, we will restrict advertising to Masonic themed sites 

However, anyone can donate money and be recognized.  We will also accept links to Weblogs of friends of Master Masons if they are in good taste.
