From The East

Greetings Brethren and Masonic families.

With most of July being dark, I've missed you all and cannot wait until we meet again. We did have many degrees in June and a very nice Forth of July Rib and BBQ'd chicken dinner on July 5Th, celebrating our country's Birthday, but it's been too long.

So let's start off our next meeting with a Luau. Brother Steve Merritt is hunting for some Hawaiian dancers to entertain us while we enjoy a Luau dinner. There may be hors d'oeuvres, so come early and call in your reservations. (510)864-9545. Main entree will be Huli-Huli chicken. So dress Hawaiian.

We had an extremely successful and eventful Festival of St. John, (first annual) hosted by Steve Merritt and myself. I'm sure the word is out and all Masons will attend next years. Thanks to all who participated.

October will bring us Oktoberfest stated dinner/meeting, and November we will celebrate our Golden Veterans 50 year pins celebration to honor all of our Masonic Brothers who have reached this milestone. Mine is slated for 2048, so I'm planning the meal now!

It's that time of year to plan the second half of the calendar, and to thank you all for allowing me this great honor bestowed upon me as Master of this lodge. It has been successful and I thank you for the support.

We have many new brothers and their families’ and friends. I wish all of you many proud years of telling everyone you are a Mason!!

Fraternally grateful,

Dennis Wallace, Worshipful Master.
