To those that have served in the armed forces and who are currently
serving a very BIG THANK YOU for your service.
Brethren,
I thank you for electing me to serve as Master for this year, also
congratulations to our newly installed officers; they are looking forward to
being of service to the lodge. I plan on having the same committee members
as last year.
We welcome Jose Fernandez as a new member. He received his first
degree on the 22nd of January - welcome aboard.
Our Stated meeting will be held on the 5th and we will be voting on an
application to receive the degrees. If elected, Mr. Austin Patrick Davis will
receive his first degree on the 12th. Bro. Mike Lampe has tendered his
resignation as Secretary and we will be electing a new Secretary for the
remainder of the year.
We are scheduling a breakfast to be held at the Lodge on Saturday,
March 21st from 8am to 11am. Please add to your calendar and bring your
appetite.
Due to our Friday night rental playing loud music, the Hall Association
has moved its meeting night to the first Monday of each month.
.
This is very important:
You need to contact our Junior Warden, Bro. James Scribner to
make your meal reservations. His contact information is located on
page 2 of this trestleboard.
Fraternally,
Stephen Hale
Master

Riverside York Rite Bodies
Commandery meets on the 1st Wednesday at 7:30pm
Royal Arch Chapter and Cryptic Council meet on the
3rd Wednesday at 6:30pm (all dark July & August)
Companions and Sir Knights:
January has seen the qualification and Installation of th 2015 Officers. Now
the work begins.
March 28th is the date for the start of the spring Degrees with the festival
beginning at 8am at San Bernardino York Building. If you have ever been curious
about the lessons taught beyond the Blue lodge, speak to any York Rite Mason, and
consider submitting an application.
The value of Royal Arch Masonry will be appreciated by all who are exalted
to that most sublime degree, particularly by those who are seeking to complete their
Masonic education. It reveals the full light of Ancient Craft Masonry, by presenting a
complete system in accordance with the original plan and justly entitles you to claim
the noble name of Master Mason. Royal Arch Masonry contains some simple, plain
statements of Truth, easily understandable and helpful in our relation to life. The
Lodge system deals with lessons of the material side of life. The Chapter degrees
and particularly the Royal Arch deal with the spiritual side of life.
Offering the true completion of the Ancient Craft, Royal Arch Masonry is,
therefore, the logical step for every Master Mason to take. If after becoming a Royal
Arch Mason, you are desirous of continuing your studies, you may take the Council
Degrees and the Commandery Orders, both of whcih are illustrative of and carry
forward the Principles of the Royal Arch. Any Royal Arch Mason will eagerly propose
you name as a candidate for the advancement in the mysteries of Freemasonry.
Fraternally,
Lee Whelan, PHP

The dinner menu for February Stated meeting :
Potato Bar with soup and all ingredients
It was extremely nice to see the increased attendance at our January
Stated Meeting and I hope it carries over to this month. Remember we need
30-35 range of attendance then the fund should take care of itself. If there is a
problem with our meal choices then let next years Junior Warden know so
changes can be made for this years menus.
