November 2022 Trestle Board

From the East

My Brothers,

            On October 25th we initiated our newest Mason, Mr. Danial Harding (now Brother Harding).

            November stated is an Official Visit by the Grand Master, officers wear tuxedos.  Our Junior Warden is scheduling a catered Tri-Tip dinner so please RSVP to WB Gilbert with attendance numbers and apologies to those I misinformed regarding the main course.

            My year of having the honor of serving as Master of the Lodge is drawing to a close. We have accomplished much, less than my ambitious drive desired but much none the less.

            The dining room has a new look, new floor, new paint.  The kitchen has renewed preparation tables, new paint and supplies for the dishwasher are on order.  Plans are in the works to bring the Ladies room up to a presentable and modern look.  The child ID trailer has a new and updated computer and a new more child friendly interior; funds have been set aside to renew the trailer’s exterior.

            We have passed to the degree of Fellowcraft and subsequently raised 2 Master Masons.

Brethren, First, I would like to congratulate Brother Pottmeyer for his proficiency of the MM degree. Secondly Welcome to Brother Harding for joining our ranks. I hope to see your progression through Masonry. It is good to see new people joining Masonry, this growth of our lodge is promising. Let us hope the growth will continue with those who are seeking light.

I would also like to say thank you to Brother Pottmeyer and Brother Leach for their work in the lodge, with a room for reflection and the cleaning of several of the rooms that we have there. The lodge is looking better. The dining rooms paint job has brought a fresh look to it. With the improvements that have been done the lodge is looking better.

I encourage those members who have not been to lodge in a while to come and see what is going on. November’s stated meeting will have a lot to look forward too. We have the Grand Master of Oregon with his Official Visit. We will also have election of officers for the 2023 Masonic year. I hope to see all that can make it show up.

And Meet on the Level

From the South

Brethren,
As I write this article, I am compelled to advise you that it is too late to RSVP for the Grand
Masters dinner and Official Visit. With that being said, what kind of Junior Warden would I be if I
didn’t account for that! That means I ordered for 10% more than who RSVP’d…not my first
rodeo! Tri-Tip dinner with all the fixins, $20 per person and Masonic Widows are always
covered by the Lodge! If you aren’t hungry, then please show up and support our Lodge as we
receive our Most Worshipful Grand Master Mark Posler and his entourage. This is also you
chance to vote on next years officers, trustees and Hiram Awardee.

And Act by the Plumb
