Wise Master
It’s hard to believe that we’ve already traversed the first full month of 2020. Time is an impatient taskmaster. We’re well on our way through a new year and a new decade! I’ve got a few topics that I’d like to cover this month, including news from the Chapter Rose Croix, the Masonic Education program, and also a few words on this very newsletter you peruse, so let’s get started.
General Secretary
Brethren: Our Installation of Officers on January 13th went superbly. SGIG Illustrious Frank Loui 33°, Illustrious John Heisner 33° and Illustrious Ray Godeke 33° all participated in the event. Attendance at the next Installation is highly recommended to all of the Brothers who didn’t make it this year. It is a great ceremony and you can bring your spouses. We appreciate all of the Brothers who have paid their 2020 dues. The Tiler will be checking for 2020 dues cards at the February Stated Meeting. There are still a number of Brothers who need to pay their dues. If you have any questions about your membership status, please call us or email us at the office.
Venerable Master
Well, my Brothers… we made it. A quick thank you to our installing team of Ill. Frank Loui, 33º S.G.I.G. for California, Ill. John Heisner, 33º and our own Ill. Ray Godeke, 33º for the honor of their work at our installation ceremony! It was great seeing so many friendly faces to welcome a new Masonic year for our Valley!
And speaking of thank you’s and what not: Since it is February and love is in the air, a special nod to all of our partners who support us as we all make our way along our own Masonic journeys.
