March 2023 Communication

We had a very busy March meeting. The Lodge made a philanthropic donation to a local non-profit, had an historic educational talk, and hosted Brothers from another district in the jurisdiction. A great BBQ dinner followed to make for a fantastic evening!

June 2022 Communication

What a fantastic end of our Masonic year. We raised two new Master Masons, Matthew James Lemming and Robert Saraceno Jr. We had seven Past Masters in Lodge, R.W. Mark Lichtenstein did a wonderful job with the Second Section long-form, and Wor. Colin Turner presented the Emblems beautifully (with a little help from Bro. Farshid Varasteh, Bro. Yuri Costa, and Bro. Philip Lund).

May 2022 Communication

May saw the return of our Table Lodge after two years of COVID-19 restrictions. The Lodge welcomed the District Deputy Grand Master, Rt. Wor. Peter J. Lawson and a suite of distinguished Masons. Brethren from Redwood City Lodge #35 in Rhode Island were well represented, including MW Gary Kaufman and MW Richard Sokoll. We presented a number of brothers their Masonic Anniversary pins, including Brother Samuel Fischer and RW Gary Miller, who received their 50-Year Veterans Medals.
