To help clarify the term "Qualified guest"
Only the following persons may be admitted as a "qualified guest' into the social quarters or home of any Lodge:
a: An active Lodge member’s spouse. (Note – There are no limits on the number of times a spouse may be admitted as a guest.)
b: An active Lodge member’s immediate family. (Note – There are no limits on the number of times a spouse or qualified family member under the age of 21 may be admitted as a guest, however, all other immediate family members would be limited to two visits as they now qualify as a prospective member of the person signing them into the social quarters.)
