Dear Brothers, Friends and Visitors,
As we look ahead to the coming year, I want to express my deep hope and excitement for all that we can accomplish together as a lodge. Though the past few years have been filled with challenges, I believe that our shared commitment to brotherhood and the principles of Freemasonry will see us through to better days.
In the coming year, let us rededicate ourselves to the pursuit of knowledge and self-improvement, to the strengthening of our bonds of brotherhood, and to the service of our communities. As we work together to achieve these goals, I am confident that we will find new opportunities for growth and fulfillment, both as individuals and as a lodge.
As we begin a new year in the life of our lodge, let us be inspired by the words of the masonic thinker, Albert Pike: “Be thou the husband of wisdom, and she will bear thee children of understanding.”
One of our main goals for the new year is to reconnect with members who have been away for awhile. We miss you and would love to have you back in the Lodge, sharing in the camaraderie and brotherhood that we all cherish. If you've been away for a bit, please know that you are always welcome, and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Our next Special Meeting, on the 24th, we will confer the 1st Degree on worthy candidates. It would be a great time to reconnect and support our soon to be brothers.
As always, we have a number of fantastic events planned throughout the year, including educational lectures, social gatherings, and community service projects. We encourage you to get involved and make the most of your membership.
In the spirit of brotherhood, let's make this new year one to remember!
Fraternally,
Luis Barahona
Worshipful Master
Message from the Senior Warden
Brothers,
As I mentioned in the last Stated Meeting, our dear brother Tyler, Jesus Vasquez recently suffered a tragic loss in his family. His niece Sandra Vasquez passed away suddenly on January 7th, 2023, leaving behind two teenaged children. The family has setup a a fund for donations which we will contribute to as a lodge. If you would like to make a donation please Zelle / Quickpay: Oriental.Lodge.33@gmail.com or arrange other payment with the secretary. Please make a note in the payment that this is for the Vasquez fund.
